The silver market has recently gone completely nuts. Over the past 30 days, retail investor funds have flooded into silver ETFs, with net inflows exceeding $920 million—how shocking is that? The iShares Silver ETF's single-day inflow has already hit a new high since 2021, with an overall increase of 31.3% this year, and prices soaring by 210.9%, while related mining stocks have surged by 225%. Those meme stocks that were hotly promoted back then can't even compare.
The problem is, not all of this money is from retail investors gambling. Data from institutions show that this wave of funds has clear structural characteristics, even surpassing the volume of that 2021 rally. Silver is transforming from a niche corner into a genuine macro asset. Even short-selling funds are starting to see retail investors, and the battle between bulls and bears has heated up.
But Invesco's warning is worth listening to: this could be a once-in-45-years breakout, with some calling for $80, which is too extreme. Once sentiment reverses, the market could experience a sharp correction at any time.
Can silver sustain this crazy rally? That’s really hard to say.

Institutions are also jumping on board, this is outrageous... Retail investors are going crazy together, and the prediction of $80 is really unsustainable. When it drops, none of you will be able to escape.

This wave of silver is really quite outrageous. Over $920 million poured in within such a short time, it feels a bit like a déjà vu from 2021... Are institutions really building positions this time?

This wave of silver is indeed fierce, but the $80 figure is really outrageous... I do believe in institutional involvement, but retail investors should be cautious about following the trend.

Silver is already surging so crazily, are institutions really quietly entering the market? Feels like this time is different.
1.02 billion retail investor funds have entered, and the institutional size is even more terrifying... Is this serious or just another round of harvesting retail investors?
Those who shouted at $80 really dare to do so; a correction is coming, and a bloodbath will follow.
How far this round of silver can go depends on when the institutions will run away.

nah wait, structural capital flowing into commodities while crypto's been sleeping? that's the kind of cross-asset correlation anomaly that keeps me up at night... 9.2B into silver in 30 days has serious MEV implications if you think about it sideways
