#数字资产市场洞察 Silver's recent rally has truly exploded! In mid-December, the March silver futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange surged to $66.87 per ounce intraday, hitting a historic high. It finally closed at $66.715, a single-day increase of $3.392. During the same period, February gold futures also took off, closing at $4368.1 per ounce, up $35.8 in one day. Safe-haven funds combined with technical buying pushed this rally straight to the sky.

Even more astonishing are these numbers—silver has gained nearly 130% year-to-date! What's driving this? Inventory levels have been tightening, coupled with explosive demand growth in industries like solar energy, electric vehicles, and data centers, making precious metals a truly attractive safe haven. Geopolitical tensions are also fueling the move: the U.S. has taken a tough stance on Venezuela, ramping up military deployments, which caused crude oil prices to rebound 1.7% to $56.50 per barrel.

The trouble is, the U.S. is also brewing new sanctions against Russia's energy sector. If Putin rejects the Ukraine-Russia peace agreement, Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers and related traders will face suppression, further elevating geopolitical risks and boosting the safe-haven appeal of precious metals. Although the dollar index looks decent, it has already moved away from its high, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is around 4.155%. With multiple factors at play, the future performance of precious metals remains worth watching.

From a technical perspective, the next target for March silver futures bulls is to break through $70.00 per ounce; bears would need to fall below the support at $60.00 to push prices down. Recent resistance is at $67.00, with the next support at $65.00, and below that, the overnight low of $63.725. $ETH $BTC $SOL

The rise in silver is truly incredible, 130%... I believe in the tight inventory situation, but I just don't know how long it can last.

Silver up 130%? Why do I feel like I came too late... Could this be the last chance to jump in and buy the dip on precious metals?

Silver is soaring directly, and this momentum is quite fierce. A 130% increase is truly remarkable. Tight inventories + geopolitical tensions, safe-haven buying has been ongoing, no wonder it reached a new all-time high. $66 is not a dream; $70 is just around the corner. How can the bears hold on? I just want to know how long this wave can last. If geopolitical tensions ease, will it drop straight down? Gold and silver flying together—sure enough, in chaotic times, safe-haven assets emerge. This logic makes perfect sense.

I've already said that this wave of precious metals is the key to wealth. It's too late to realize now. A 130% increase is right in front of us—don't miss this opportunity, brother.

Silver surged by 130% and took off directly, this rhythm is really amazing. Silver prices hit a new high, and the risk aversion sentiment is directly maximized. With the geopolitical situation so tense, no wonder precious metals are so attractive. $70 is a crazy target if the bulls really push through. Tightening inventories and exploding demand, this wave of silver really has logic. By the way, is it still too late to go all-in on silver? Feels like we've already had a wave of speculation. With one wave of sanctions after another from the US, no wonder risk assets are flocking to precious metals. If the $60 support level breaks, that would be really troublesome, and that would be the opportunity for bears.

Silver 130% surge, oh my god, how many people are getting chopped up inside... --- Wait, no, when geopolitical tensions explode, these safe-haven assets become like they've been injected with adrenaline. How come there are still people shorting? --- If it can't break $70, I don't believe it. The technicals are just a joke. --- Tight inventories + energy war, no wonder precious metals are crazy, but this wave of rise is too fast and a bit虚虚的 --- U.S. Treasury yields have dropped, yet the dollar is still holding strong? That logic doesn't add up. --- The key is how Putin's side will respond. If they really go head-to-head with U.S. sanctions, precious metals will have to push higher.

Silver 130%? Ridiculous, this is the price hike caused by geopolitical tensions. Safe-haven assets are really on the rise.

The surge in silver... is really outrageous, 130% brother, I really regret not holding a heavier position. It’s already over $66, can it still push to $70? It feels like this wave of precious metals is really taking off. When geopolitical tensions flare up, funds rush into safe-haven assets. This routine has been played out too many times. $70 feels a bit risky, but the support at $60 still looks pretty solid. Tightening inventories plus surging demand—this makes sense. The demand for EVs and data centers is really no joke. Hey, wait a minute, have you guys thought about whether the sharp rise in precious metals might lead to a correction? New all-time highs are often easily knocked down. Silver vs. Bitcoin, I feel like I’m more optimistic about silver now, although I mainly trade cryptocurrencies.
