That&rsquo;s why this recent development is such a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>But I must warn you&hellip; silver is <em>not<\/em> for the faint of heart. Trading and owning silver are not for everybody.<\/p>\n<p>The volatility in silver can be quite intense. So, if you like the analysis I&rsquo;ve prepared for you on silver, just keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>You can always stick to gold, which both Jeff and I expect will continue appreciating strongly over time as well.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, let&rsquo;s look at a price chart of silver below so I can share what I see.<\/p>\n<p><!--IMG SNIP--><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\" align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202405\/20240524-JMU-01.png\"><\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve labeled the key breakout that silver has recently completed.<\/p>\n<p>That breakout took place on May 17, when silver took out the $30.13 level.<\/p>\n<p>This level has kept a lid on the price of silver since February 2021. It&rsquo;s taken over three years, but silver has finally breached this key level.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s a very strong sign of intent from silver bulls. And it&rsquo;s all part of the next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/is-the-supercycle-already-underway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commodity supercycle I&rsquo;m forecasting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now this doesn&rsquo;t mean the ride back to $50 is going to be smooth sailing. It almost certainly won&rsquo;t be.<\/p>\n<p>Silver is notorious for having big swings in both directions. I fully expect that pattern to continue.<\/p>\n<p><!--GREY BOX START--><\/p>\n<div class=\"card bg-light mb-4\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Free Trading Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out Jeff&#8217;s free trading resources on his website?
