Silver: Now the price of silver will fall drastically, if you do not listen to this advice of experts then your money will be lost!
Following silver's record-breaking rise, experts have advised investors to book profits and exit. According to experts, the increased use of copper in the solar and battery sectors will reduce demand, potentially leading to a 60% price drop by 2027. Silver also experienced similar highs in 1980 and 2011.
Silver Price Crash: Silver's historic rally may be coming to a halt. Market experts have warned that silver prices could see a sharp decline. Silver had touched a record high of $82,670 per ounce in the international market, but earlier this week it plummeted to $71,300.
This decline has shocked investors. Experts believe it's time for investors to book their profits and exit the market, as prices are expected to fall by up to 60 percent in the coming days.
Why were silver prices skyrocketing?
Silver has made investors rich in the past year, 2025. Due to a significant gap between demand and supply, its prices surged by nearly 180 percent. Several key factors contributed to this surge.
Samsung, a giant, announced its transition from lithium-ion batteries to solid-state batteries, which suddenly boosted industrial demand for silver.
Furthermore, supply disruptions from countries like Peru and Chad, tensions between the US and Venezuela, and China's implicit ban on silver exports from January 1, 2026, added fuel to the fire. These factors pushed silver prices to record highs, but this same surge is now becoming a problem for industry.
Industries turned away from expensive silver
According to Amit Goyal, Chief Global Strategist at Pace 360, any industry uses a raw material only as long as it is economically beneficial. When costs rise significantly, companies begin to look for alternatives.
This is precisely what is happening with silver. Companies manufacturing solar panels and photovoltaic cells have begun using copper instead of silver. Efforts to replace silver with copper have also intensified in the battery sector.
Companies in Israel, Taiwan, Australia, and China are rapidly working in this direction. This changing trend could have a profound impact on future demand for silver.
Is history about to repeat itself?
Market history bears witness that whenever silver has seen such a meteoric rise, it has been followed by a significant decline. Citing historical data, Anuj Gupta, director of Ya Wealth, said that in 1980, during the Hunt Brothers era, silver fell from approximately $49.5 to $11.
Similarly, in 2011, silver fell from $48 to a nearly 75 percent decline. Now, with exchanges increasing margins, a similar situation appears to be emerging in the market. Experts believe that retail investors should avoid fresh purchases at this time and should understand the market's movements.
How far can the prices go in the coming times?
Experts predict that silver has either reached its highest level or could reach around $100 per ounce by February 2026 due to short-covering. However, this rally will be short-lived.
Silver could face significant pressure until fiscal year 2027 (FY27). If the $82,670 level proves to be the top, prices could fall to $35 to $40 per ounce by the end of FY27. This means that investors could suffer significant losses from current levels.
