Was that the Silver Blow off Top?

In a chart shared on X by technical analyst Dave the Wave, the sharp recent spike in silver prices is framed not as a healthy breakout, but as a potential “blow-off top” — a surge often associated with speculative excess rather than sustainable demand. Dave wrote, “was that the blow off top – hitting the 11x on a spike and back to the fib extension target on the chart for years?”

The chart highlights silver’s rise to more than 11 times its long-term base before retreating back toward a key Fibonacci extension level, a technical marker commonly used by traders to identify where major trends tend to peak. If the interpretation holds, it suggests the rally may have exhausted itself, shifting the market from rapid expansion into a period of consolidation.

For investors and producers alike, the message is less about short-term price swings and more about cycle positioning. A prolonged cooling phase could reshape capital allocation, mining investment, and hedging strategies, particularly for companies that expanded aggressively during the upswing. In that sense, silver’s pullback may be less a market hiccup — and more a signal that the easy gains phase of the metals trade is over. Crypto holders will be hoping some Silver profits are rotated into Bitcoin.
