Historic Silver Crash Sends Shockwaves Through Markets 📉
Silver, which had been riding a blistering, historic rally, just suffered one of its sharpest pullbacks in years. After surging to record highs above $100 per ounce in early 2026, the white metal reversed violently — plunging 11% in a single session, marking its steepest one-day drop since the 2020–2021 volatility era.
The move came fast.
A rally fueled by safe-haven demand, geopolitical tension, inflation hedging, and aggressive retail participation suddenly ran into a wall as traders rushed to lock in profits. What followed was a textbook momentum unwind.
This dramatic reversal echoes rising instability across global markets. Precious-metal ETFs tied to gold and silver slid sharply, while capital rotated back toward equities as risk appetite re-emerged and fear premiums cooled.
