Silver Could Fall Further Before a Rally, but the Price Map Is Uncertain
Three technical outlooks leave room for more downside in silver, but they point to very different price zones. These are scenarios, not verified forecasts. The price references also lack the dates and market details needed for a clean comparison.
- Shitij Kapoor: a possible $37-$39 zone in February 2027.
- Investing Angles: a $42-$58 stabilization range, with $25 as a deeper downside possibility.
- Crypto Patel: a preferred accumulation zone of $28-$35.
- Key caveat: entering a proposed zone does not confirm a bottom.
The price references need a date and market basis
The figures accompanying the outlooks put silver near $52 per troy ounce after roughly nine weeks of declines from a peak near $121. That would be a retreat of about 57%. But the figures do not specify a common date, price feed or instrument. They should not be treated as a confirmed live quote or a definitive drawdown calculation.
A separate MarketMinute account, dated January 1, 2026, reported an intraday high of $84.01 on December 29, 2025. Based on the information available, that figure cannot be reconciled with the roughly $121 peak cited in the outlooks. The dates and price series behind the latter figure are not identified. The numbers may refer to different periods or measures, but they are not directly comparable as presented.
Spot prices, futures prices, intraday highs and closing prices can differ. A percentage decline is meaningful only if the high and current price use the same instrument and comparable timestamps. The price levels below are given in U.S. dollars per troy ounce, but the underlying analyses do not establish a consistent basis.
Three commentators, three possible price zones
Kapoor: $37-$39, with a highly speculative long-term path
Shitij Kapoor’s analysis identifies a possible bottom around $37 to $39 in February 2027. The zone is based on an overlap of Elliott wave and Fibonacci levels between $36.57 and $38.82. Elliott wave analysis reads market moves as sequences of advances and corrections. Some traders use Fibonacci measurements to estimate potential turning areas.
From $52, silver would need to fall about 25% to 29% to reach Kapoor’s rounded range. He describes the levels as a roadmap that may change as weekly candles close. Kapoor says a move below $29.86 would mean his current wave-count interpretation no longer holds and would require reassessment. That threshold applies to his analysis, not the market as a whole.
His longer-term projections are much more ambitious: about $269 by early 2029, a possible pullback near $74 in 2030, and $410 to $569 during 2032 and 2033. Kapoor makes the last range conditional on gold reaching approximately $18, 000, the gold-to-silver ratio falling into the 30s or 40s, and silver remaining above $29.86.
The gold-to-silver ratio compares the price of one ounce of gold with the price of one ounce of silver. A lower ratio means silver is worth more relative to gold. These are substantial assumptions, not established outcomes. No probability is stated for the projections, and their conditions do not make them dependable forecasts.
Investing Angles: a stabilization band that includes the quoted price
Investing Angles describes a fall from roughly $120 to $54 and says its annual analysis identified $42 to $58 as a possible stabilization range after an initial move higher. If silver is near $52, as the accompanying price reference suggests, it is already inside that band. So the range is not simply a downside target.
A sustained move below $42 would weaken the stabilization case, according to the analysis. Investing Angles also allows for a deeper decline toward $25. No dated original chart or post is identified alongside these levels, so the range and its assumptions cannot be independently assessed here. The broader gold and silver price correction is a separate question from whether this particular range holds.
Crypto Patel: $28-$35 as an accumulation zone
Crypto Patel identifies $28 to $35 as a preferred accumulation area. From $52, silver would need to fall a further 33% to 46% to reach that range.
Patel’s chart uses three-month candles across several decades. It marks earlier drawdowns of approximately 89.84% and 76.78%, alongside a projected drawdown measurement near 71.59%. Those historical comparisons put the chart’s scenario in context, but they do not show that a similar decline must happen again.
The chart also marks a red bearish order block, a zone treated as potential overhead resistance, from around $89.37 toward the high near $121.65. It labels the zone as invalidated if price moves above its upper boundary. Patel’s longer-term target is $300 to $500, but the projected recovery spans many years, and the assumptions and probability behind that range are not specified.
A support zone is not a confirmed bottom
A support or demand zone is an area where a chart analyst expects buying might emerge or selling might ease. It is an interpretation, not a promise that buyers will show up. Price can pass through a proposed zone, pause there temporarily or reverse. The level alone cannot tell you which will happen.
The three outlooks use different methods and identify materially different levels. Without dated original charts and a consistent price basis, there is no sound basis here for ranking one zone as more likely than another. Evidence of sustained stabilization or recovery would be needed to support a claim that a durable bottom had formed.
These technical levels also do not establish where gold and silver prices are headed or explain why silver fell. The cited price scenarios do not support claims that forced liquidations, higher energy costs or changing interest-rate expectations caused this particular decline. Those explanations need separate evidence.
Silver price outlook: key questions
-
Could silver fall further?
Yes. All three outlooks allow for more downside, but their scenarios differ: Kapoor points to $37-$39, Patel to $28-$35, and Investing Angles describes $42-$58 as a possible stabilization band while allowing for a deeper move toward $25.
-
What price zones do the commentators identify?
Kapoor identifies $37-$39, Investing Angles $42-$58, and Patel $28-$35. The Investing Angles range includes the quoted price near $52, so it is better understood as a potential stabilization area than a downside target.
-
Does silver entering one of these zones confirm a bottom?
No. A proposed support or accumulation area does not prove that selling has ended or that a durable recovery has begun.
-
What would invalidate Kapoor’s current wave count?
Kapoor identifies a break below $29.86 as the point at which his current interpretation would no longer hold. That level applies to his analysis, not to silver as a whole.
-
Are targets of several hundred dollars a reliable expectation?
No probability has been established for them, and their assumptions have not been independently validated here. Kapoor’s upper target depends on conditions including gold near $18, 000 and silver staying above $29.86. Patel’s $300-$500 target spans many years, and its supporting assumptions are unspecified.
For anyone weighing these scenarios, the first question is not which target sounds most dramatic. Ask what price series, date and assumptions sit behind each number. Until those are clear, treat the levels as chart-based possibilities, not a reliable map of where silver is headed.
