#数字资产行情上升 Silver has surged 170% over six months, and the gold-silver ratio has dropped from 90 to 57—how big are the hidden risks behind this market rally?
Rewind to six months ago, silver was hovering around $35, with the gold-silver ratio at a high of 90, clearly indicating a huge room for catch-up. Unexpectedly, the market's response was疯狂—silver prices shot straight up to $80, with gains completely outpacing gold.
Capital markets have been feverishly speculating on stories like "silver used in photovoltaics" and "AI chip shortages," but the problem is: real industrial demand simply can't keep up with the financial hype. Prices have long diverged from fundamentals, and everyone is aware of this.
Historical data shows that the gold-silver ratio typically fluctuates between 40 and 80. But silver is no longer a currency, and its financial attributes are far weaker than gold. Returning to the 40s is almost impossible. Currently, silver prices are oscillating at high levels between 70 and 80, entirely sustained by the虚风 of "momentum." Even more absurd, some are even promoting that "export controls by the world's largest silver-consuming country will push silver prices to $300"—which is completely a借题发挥. Their real intention isn't to push up silver prices but to build strategic reserves and suppress speculation; the nickel market is a warning lesson.
The risks now in front of us include: exchanges could raise margin requirements at any time; major capital has already begun to quietly take profits and exit; US tariff policies are still undecided; once industrial inventories flow back, a闪崩 could happen at any moment.
Silver is already overheated, and a short-term sharp correction is almost unavoidable. Don't let狂欢 blind your judgment—this game of passing the drum often leaves the last players the most injured.

A 170% surge is so fierce, no wonder there are a bunch of people around me going all-in on silver... The nickel market drama is not over yet.

This same story again, I'm so tired of it. Every time they say the fundamentals are detached, but they still chase the high. Truly unbelievable.
---
The lesson from the nickel market is right here, and some people still rush headlong into danger. Serves them right.
---
What does a 170% increase mean? It just means retail investors are being cut again, nothing surprising.
---
Adjusting the margin directly cuts the leeks. I've played this game too many times.
---
When the main players quietly exit, you're still dreaming. Wake up, brother.
---
That part about "the world's largest silver user country" is really absurd. Can you be more professional when making up stories?
---
Volatility at high levels is just the last wave of blood for the last batch of bagholders. Don't ask me how I know this.
---
A flash crash is coming. Be mentally prepared, everyone.
---
Those who are now blinded by the frenzy should be cutting their losses. I bet 5 bucks.

Honestly, the recent surge in silver prices is just too outrageous. It's like a game of hot potato, and we should have been alert earlier.
I definitely won't touch it. I'll wait for a flash crash to happen.
The scene in the nickel market is still vivid in my mind, and it will definitely replay this time.
$300? Oh, don't joke around. The fundamentals can't support that.
The big players are secretly fleeing, while retail investors are still buying at high levels.
This is what they call the "last holder," huh.
When the margin is raised, a night-time plunge is normal.
High-level oscillations are a signal—it's time for everyone to wake up.

Silver has really been hyped up this time, the fundamentals are long gone, and it's just relying on stories to support it.

Silver price hitting 80 is the signal to sell. If you're still holding now, you're just gambling.

The silver price this time is really a game of hot potato to the extreme; it's obvious to everyone that it's detached from fundamentals to such an absurd degree.

The recent surge in silver prices is just outrageous. It's already detached from fundamentals, and people are still talking about $300? Haven't we learned the lesson from the nickel market?

The silver price has been hyped up too much; it will eventually have to return to reality.
