The silver market has been on fire recently. Over the past month, retail investor funds have been pouring into silver ETFs, with a net inflow of over $920 million, and single-day inflows even broke records not seen since 2021. This is not just ordinary price fluctuation; behind it is a genuine tide of capital.

iShares Silver Trust has already gained 31.3% this year, and from the bottom, it has surged by 210.9%. Related precious metal mining stocks are even more exaggerated, with an average increase of 225%—it's not an exaggeration to say they have crushed the hot stocks of that year.

The data is in front of us: a monthly net purchase of $920 million, a technical breakout level unseen in 45 years, and the crazy rally of silver mining stocks. Research firm Vanda bluntly states that this is "structural capital" re-pricing silver, treating it as a core macro asset for strategic layout. Even retail investors have infiltrated into inverse short funds, and the long-short game has become intense.

But beneath the boom, hidden dangers lurk. Invesco has issued a warning: the move to push prices above $80 in three months is extremely extreme. If market sentiment reverses, it could trigger an epic correction. Is this round of silver rally a victory for retail investors or a bubble about to burst? We will have to wait and see.

Wow, a 210% increase? How many people are going all-in on this? It feels a bit risky...

Damn, this round of silver really went crazy, but I always feel like something's not quite right. --- Investing 920 million in a month, that must be really urgent... --- A 225% increase? Better not touch it, afraid of getting caught holding the bag. --- Repricing of structural funds? Sounds like someone is trying to trap retail investors. --- I started to worry when it hit $80, it’s too fast and easy to flip over. --- Retail investors are chasing the high again? This has been happening over and over in history. --- iShares up 31%, sounds good, but I don’t quite understand the story behind it. --- Even inverse short positions are starting to follow the trend? The market is really going crazy. --- The recent silver market is very similar to some cryptocurrencies last year, what happened to them in the end? --- Vanda’s "core macro assets" sound fancy, but I still think the risk is high. --- Such extreme movements... it’s likely to be very extreme when it comes down.

This wave of silver is really about to explode, but I still think it's too fast and prone to setbacks.

Silver's recent move is really outrageous. 920 million came in, and in just one month, everything has turned upside down. But speaking of which, I've seen 225% gains too many times, and in the end, it's always the retail investors who get cut. Wait, is this really retail investors winning or are institutions just诱多? It feels a bit uncertain. A technical breakout that hasn't been seen in 45 years sounds impressive, but at the $80 level, I feel like it's so dangerous... Silver now is like a balloon, no matter how much you blow it up, it will eventually burst. I'm just watching from the sidelines. 920 million retail investors' money rushing in—what kind of FOMO is that? So刺激. Invesco's warning is still worth listening to. Extreme market conditions often reverse quickly, friends who are long, be careful about接盘. 210.9% from the bottom—this number looks爽, but I'd rather miss out than get caught, being cautious is never wrong.
