Silver has been really strong these past two days. Just broke through the $90/oz mark, soaring 2.48% intraday, directly rewriting the historical record since 1979. It’s worth noting that when the Hunt brothers drove silver to $50 back then, it caused a global sensation; now, the $90 era has become a reality.



The numbers are even more astonishing: less than two weeks into 2026, silver has already gained over 20% this year. Looking ahead to the entire 2025, the total increase reaches 140%—what does this mean in the realm of precious metals? It’s considered the best.

The underlying story isn’t actually complicated. Increasing volatility in U.S. macro policy, combined with a surge in risk aversion across markets. Money is flooding into "hard currencies" like silver, which combines industrial demand, inflation hedging, and geopolitical safe-haven attributes. From the chip industry chain to new energy demands, silver’s uses have been expanding, now layered with macro risk premiums.

The question is: is $90 just the starting point or the ceiling? Looking at historical milestones, the previous peak has already been broken. If risk aversion continues to intensify, how much more room for growth is there? This is worth paying attention to.

Silver is truly incredible; a 140% increase—no one would believe it if you told them.

$90? If the Hunter brothers saw this number back then, they would go crazy. A 140% increase is truly incredible; I've never seen anything so outrageous in precious metals. --- Once risk aversion sentiment ignites, it can't be stopped. This wave of silver is really different. Industrial demand plus risk premium, double stacking, it's a bit terrifying. --- I'm just worried this is a false breakout, followed by a sharp decline. Breaking through the historical high is indeed interesting, but it's hard to say where the ceiling is. --- 140%... Is this how 2025 will be? Then maybe 2026 will continue to go crazy. --- Whenever the US dollar policy changes, money flows into silver—classic safe-haven play. The problem is, how high can this rally go? No one dares to be certain. --- The recent surge in silver is a bit outrageous; it feels like the bubble is getting thicker and thicker. --- From 50 to 90, this isn't just an increase—it's a direct takeoff. But I just want to know, how long can this wave last?

A 140% increase is honestly a bit outrageous, but is it already too late to enter now? It feels like this wave of risk aversion is about to peak.

Even $90 has been broken through. This round of risk aversion sentiment is truly intense. Do you still want to push for 150?

Breaking the $90 mark, this round of risk aversion sentiment has really picked up Silver's 140% increase, who can withstand that... With this trend, how much more is there to the ceiling? Honestly, when Hunt brothers hit $50, it was already a big deal. Now at $90, it feels like just the beginning Industrial demand plus safe-haven premium stacking, no wonder it's so fierce, but be careful when taking positions A 140% rise by 2025, and only two weeks into 2026, a 20% increase... Is this going to the sky? Breaking historical records makes me both excited and nervous—who knows when a dump will happen Money is flowing into hard currencies, clearly some people are panicking Is $90 just the starting point? I bet it can go further, but only if the safe-haven demand doesn't fade

$90 price point is really outrageous, Hunt brothers caused a frenzy back then at $50, now it’s directly doubled, crazy A 140% annual increase is unbelievable, is this silver taking it seriously or is it about to dump again? All the money is flowing into hard currencies, what does that mean? Everyone is panicking Who knows where the ceiling is, it feels like it can go even higher This round of safe-haven buying really never ends, just waiting to see what happens next Silver has been catching up all along, driven by industrial demand and macro premiums, a double boost, truly fierce The problem is, how can retail investors get on board? It’s a bit intimidating to enter at this price

Daring to break through even $90, those $50 back in Hunt brothers' time were really just child's play.

The 90-dollar level feels a bit risky. Hunt brothers used to play with fire like this, and now the leverage is even deeper, right?

$90 really is a bit crazy this time, but it feels like the bloodsucking hasn't fully started yet. The recent surge in silver is driven by risk premium. When the Federal Reserve gets chaotic, the market rushes into safe-haven assets. A 140% increase is honestly a bit outrageous; it feels like a bubble is forming. Where is the ceiling? Honestly, no one can say for sure right now. Wait, wasn't the Hunt brothers' situation also a trap? History always seems eerily similar, uh.

This $90 move is really outrageous, who can withstand a 140% increase?
