Gold and Silver Volatility – Peak or Just a Rest Between Waves?

Recent sessions have seen gold and especially silver continuously “rollercoaster”: soaring sharply then adjusting very quickly. Many are beginning to ask: Is this the peak of the cycle?
In fact, during historically significant bull markets, experiencing extreme volatility at high levels is completely normal. In fact, quick, strong, and decisive drops can sometimes be positive signals.
Why Is Strong Volatility Not Always Bad?
In a genuine bull market:
Large capital flows continuously seek safe havens.
Assets with “complex stories” like AI and high-tech make many retail investors hesitant.
Meanwhile, gold and silver are familiar, easy-to-understand assets with a history spanning hundreds of years.
After a strong rally in 2025, gold and silver have become focal points. When FOMO capital floods in, the market easily falls into excessive euphoria—and then experiences sharp “shake-outs” to purge short-term speculation.
A quick drop often means:
Limited inventory remaining.
Selling pressure is quickly released.
Long-term trend structure remains intact.
In other words, rapid declines in a strong uptrend do not mean the cycle is over.
Silver – The “Leading” Metal
Among precious metals, silver usually has a larger volatility range than gold. When the cycle accelerates, silver tends to be the strongest performer. During corrections, silver also fluctuates the most.
If volatility gradually cools and the market enters a stable accumulation phase, reaching price levels of:
100 USD/oz
120 USD/oz
150 USD/oz
… will gradually become “normalized” by the market.
In that context, a medium- to long-term target of 150–200 USD/oz is not an unrealistic scenario if the commodity cycle continues to expand.
Leverage 6X – Risks and Opportunities
For investors using 6X leverage, current volatility can cause significant psychological pressure. However:
If the price returns to around 121 USD/oz, the potential profit margin remains substantial.
Even in a worse scenario, when the market hits a deep bottom, the 6X tool still offers an exit opportunity if capital is well-managed and technical rebounds occur.
The key is not to panic at each candle but to assess whether the major trend has been broken.
Asset Allocation Strategy: Gradually Increase Precious Metal Weights
Instead of emotional all-in moves, a more reasonable approach is:
Gradually increase gold and silver proportions in the portfolio.
When attractive buying opportunities arise (e.g., during deep corrections), consider raising silver weight to match gold.
Maintain a stable mindset—because large markets do not operate based on short-term emotions.
Conclusion
Strong volatility does not mean the cycle is ending. In historically significant bull markets, intense “shake-outs” are inevitable.
Silver may be “tired,” but not necessarily “dead.” If the commodity trend continues to expand amid excess global liquidity and rising confidence in safe assets, precious metals still hold an important position.
The most important thing is not to predict each rise and fall, but to:
Understand where you are in the cycle
Manage risks appropriately
Stay disciplined with your asset allocation strategy
In large markets, the winners are not those who guess each candle correctly but those who survive long enough to see the cycle through.
