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.
