BiyaPay Analyst: Silver Surge Depresses Gold-to-Silver Ratio, Speculative Rally May Be Nearing Turning Point

BlockBeats News, January 18th, the year-to-date gain of silver has exceeded 27%, with the price reaching $91 per ounce, pushing the gold-silver ratio to around 50, hitting a new low since 2012. Bank of Montreal (BMO) has warned that this ratio is approaching a historic bottom area, with the current silver situation being mostly driven by speculative momentum and short selling, accumulating the risk of a trend reversal.


BMO pointed out that although geopolitical uncertainties and "meme-ification" trading may continue to temporarily boost silver, in the medium to long term, a physical silver surplus is forming, especially as demand in the solar energy sector may have peaked, potentially causing silver to lag behind gold again in the future.


A BiyaPay analyst believes that being in an extreme range of the gold-silver ratio often indicates that asset rotation is approaching, and chasing the rise in the short term should beware of the risk of amplified volatility. Through BiyaPay, users can use USDT to participate in U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, options, and cryptocurrency trading, flexibly switch between precious metals and other assets, and better respond to potential market reversals.
