Mon Mar 31 11:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Silver Breaks $35, But $50 Remains Elusive: Market Experts Weigh In
**New York, NY –** Silver prices finally surpassed the $35 mark, breaking a double top pattern observed since last October, according to market analysis from Blue Line Futures. However, whether this signifies sustained growth or another short-lived rally remains a point of contention among experts. The question on many investors’ minds is: When will silver hit the $50 mark, a level last seen in April 2011?
Phillip Streible, Chief Market Strategist at Blue Line Futures, notes a stark contrast between the performance of silver and gold. Gold recently broke the $3,000 barrier, reaching new all-time highs driven by uncertainty surrounding US trade and fiscal policies, geopolitical tensions, and a global economic slowdown. Streible points to the technical charts, highlighting gold’s steady, upward trajectory as opposed to silver’s more erratic behavior.
While gold’s rise from $2500 to $3000 took over 200 days, its current momentum suggests a faster ascent towards $3500 is likely. Streible predicts gold reaching this level sooner than many anticipate, based on its increased average true range.
Silver, however, presents a different picture. Although its average true range has increased to 90 cents per day, reaching $50 would require a significant shift in the gold/silver ratio. Currently at 87:1, the ratio would need to fall to 70:1 for silver to hit $50 given gold’s projected rise.
Streible emphasizes the importance of understanding both fundamental and technical analysis to anticipate market movements. He believes that early in the third quarter is a likely time frame for significant changes.
