Silver gains nearly 3% today and crosses the $30 level for the first time since 2013❗

Silver and other precious metals are moving in pursuit of gold, and sustained high levels in the price of gold bullion should provide chances for a continuation of the bull market in the other precious metals. Where to look for important levels?
The ratio of gold and silver prices has already fallen to the 10-year moving average, which can be considered the first important milestone. The next could be the 20-year static average, which is close to the 2017 and 2021 lows. This average is located at level 68. Assuming a gold price of $2,400, this would give a valuation for silver of $35.3 per ounce, or more than 15% of the implied move from current levels. It would also mean a test of the local peaks of September 2012. Source: Bloomberg Finance LP, XTB
However, it is worth remembering that silver, in addition to the sheer pressure from gold, also has a fundamental basis in terms of growth. It is preparing for the 4th consecutive major shortage in the market, and the metal is used in new technologies, primarily related to energy.
