Silver Reclaims $85 After $79 Shakeout — $100 Is the Next TargetSilver FuturesCOMEX_DL:SI1!PickMyTrade_OfficialSilver tried to break everyone's conviction this week. It dipped to $79.53 below the pullback zone before reversing and closing at $87.40. That is not a failed breakout. That is a liquidity sweep below $80 followed by a full reclaim. Textbook. Here is what the weekly chart shows: $79.53 low swept retail stop-losses below $80, then immediately reversed. Institutions do this deliberately before running price higher. $87.40 close means silver finished the week above the $85 breakout line. The base breakout is confirmed. Volume spike this week is the highest in months institutional participation is not in question. The setup is now active: LevelPriceNotes Entry (now)$85–$88Above confirmed breakout — momentum entry Better entry$80–$85On any pullback after summit Stop Loss$74.00Below full base — thesis failure Target 1$92.00+R:R 1.6 from $85 entry Target 2$100.00Psychological + ratio target Target 3$103.00Measured base breakout move Why $100 is realistic — not a meme number: The gold-silver ratio is at 55. During full silver bull markets it historically reaches 40–45. With gold at $4,700, a ratio of 45 = silver at $104. The math is not bullish because of the Trump-Xi summit. The math was already bullish. The summit just removed the last macro headwind. COT confirms: CFTC data shows retail speculators at a multi-year extreme net short in silver — the same position they had before every major silver rally in the past decade. They are about to be forced to cover. Risk management: Enter here ($87–88) with 0.5% risk this is above the base, reduced sizing is appropriate Better entry: $80–82 on any pullback after summit euphoria fades (sell-the-news) Stop at $74 is non-negotiable — a weekly close there breaks the entire structure Move stop to breakeven when price reaches $83 (halfway to T1) The summit ends May 15. If concrete agreements are announced, $88 resistance breaks and this moves fast. Educational analysis. Not financial advice. Risk management is mandatory.
