Silver Second Wind: Bulls Regain Ground In Violent Pullback

An Epic Rally Meets A Healthy Check-up

Recently, silver trading has been reported to be at almost about $80.82 per troy ounce, which is a strong recovery after weeks of volatility. Even a bigger picture narrates an even more interesting story.

Rally had a low starting point of between the $30 and $35 per troy ounce region, and the rapid pace was slowly proceeding through $40, then it gradually picked up speed beyond $60 per troy ounce. That escape changed the feasibility of the market attracting virulent buyers and creating a strong upward climb.

The trend indicates the long-term upward trend of silver through the $30–$35 range up to and above $100 before falling and settling just under $80, pointing to long-term macro-supportive power. TradingEconomics

Upon that previous foundation, silver rose more than $45 per troy ounce but at length rose as high as around $115 per troy ounce. The relocation was quick and sentimental and motivated by the high demand of investors and chasing momentum. And such vertical rallies cannot often follow a straight line indefinitely.

Silver, after reaching the highest point of about $115, had a sharp fall, dropping to around $70 per troy ounce. The fall of about $45 per troy ounce between high and low was found to be the activity of the buying and selling side and the cooling-off of the market after months of unremitting profit.

Today, the market is trying to stabilize above the $70 per troy ounce market at a time when prices are regaining their support at $80.82 per troy ounce. This possession retains the greater bullish structure. Should momentum recover, another challenge to the level of $100 per troy ounce may arise, then the second challenge to the level of $115 per troy ounce high.

Data Highlights Strong Returns And Volatility In The Long Run

Moreover, Investing.com statistics indicate that even with the fluctuation in the recent past, silver comes as one of the most effective assets in the long term. In the case of the Silver Trust iShares (SLV), which is a silver fund, the share price has been growing steadily, with a price of approximately $71.01 in the recent past.

Investing.com shows SLV is trading at approximately $71, with the 6-month and 1-year returns being promising despite the recent volatility and the withdrawal of highs.

Performance measurements show that gains of above 100% within a period of six months and above 130% within a period of one year are highly effective, as they reflect the strength of the general trend. Price action remains in good standing even after the abrupt reversal of recent highs.

The volatility spike observed in the correction process was inscribed with high trading volumes, which indicated active repositioning as opposed to structural weakness. Consolidation in price seems to have investors resetting the expectations still in the longer-term aging upward direction.

Momentum Signals Caution, Not Failure

On the other hand, the technical position of silver on the daily chart is that of consolidation and not breakdown. Momentum indicators started to cool down after the recent spike that had occurred above $100 per troy ounce.

MACD (12, 26, 9) has risen below, and barred histograms have gone negative, indicating that momentum has slowed in the up direction after the sharp correction. Nevertheless, a complete trend reversal is yet to be verified by the move. Rather, it is in line with a market that is digesting profits.

The daily chart from TradingView indicates that the silver is consolidating at around the price of $71, MACD is negative, and RSI is at around 46, which is a sign of slowed momentum and neutral markets.

In the meantime, the Relative Strength Index (RSI 14) is between 40 and 46, which represents neutral. Silver is not being overbought anymore, and the selling pressure seems to be stabilizing. This rebound may leave space for another upward attempt in case buyers gain back confidence.

Price is now ranging between $70 and $80 per troy ounce on a short-term basis. Unless the support of $70 per troy ounce is broken and the deeper structural floor of about $60 per troy ounce is broken, the wider story of the bull is still alive—despite the fact that the future trend may not be as violent as the recent run-up.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
