Silver Is Near All-Time Highs — But The Data Story Is More Interesting Than The Price.

Based on the analysis, 2026 delivered the highest average silver closing price at $81.76, while 2018 had the lowest average at just $15.65. A data table summarizing average closing prices by year has been generated for your review.

The analysis examined how daily price volatility (the difference between each day's High and Low price) has changed over time. A bar and line chart was generated showing mean and maximum volatility by year, along with a data table summarizing the statistics.

The analysis produced a chart and data table showing how silver's closing price has trended annually from 2011 to 2026. The visualization displays the average, maximum, and minimum closing prices for each year, giving a clear picture of silver's price range and movement over time.

The analysis produced a bar chart showing Silver's year-over-year percentage returns based on closing prices. Green bars represent positive years and red bars represent negative years, making it easy to spot strong and weak performance periods at a glance.

The analysis identified the biggest single-day moves based on the difference between Open and Close prices. A horizontal bar chart shows the top 10 gains (green) and top 10 losses (red) side by side, making it easy to spot the most volatile trading days.

The analysis identified the top 20 highest volume trading days for Silver and produced a dual-axis chart showing volume bars alongside price percentage changes. The visualization highlights which high-volume days were bullish (green markers) versus bearish (red markers), making it easy to spot whether heavy trading activity coincided with price gains or losses.

The analysis successfully identified 50-day and 200-day moving average crossover events in silver prices. A chart was generated showing the price history alongside both moving averages, with green upward triangles marking Golden Crosses (bullish signals where the 50-day MA crosses above the 200-day MA) and red downward triangles marking Death Crosses (bearish signals where the 50-day MA crosses below the 200-day MA). Detailed crossover dates and price levels are available in the accompanying data tables.

A table has been generated showing the largest peak-to-trough drawdowns in silver's closing price history. Each drawdown entry includes the peak price and date, trough price and date, the percentage decline, duration in days, and recovery date (or 'Ongoing' if not yet recovered).

Contrary to what many might expect, higher trading volume does NOT strongly correlate with larger daily price changes in silver. The analysis reveals a weak negative correlation, meaning days with higher volume actually tend to have slightly smaller price movements.

The analysis produced a bar chart and data table showing the percentage of trading days that silver's closing price fell within each key price bracket. The visualization breaks down silver's price history across ranges from $0–15 all the way up to $80–100, making it easy to see where silver spent most of its trading time.

The bar chart visualization shows the average silver price returns broken down by each day of the week (Monday through Friday). Days with positive average returns are shown in green, while days with negative average returns are shown in red, making it easy to spot which days have historically been stronger or weaker for silver prices.

A data table has been generated showing silver price momentum across three key time periods: 30-day, 90-day, and 180-day windows. The table provides a breakdown of price changes to help you understand the short, medium, and longer-term momentum trends for silver.

Based on the data tables generated, you can explore silver's historical monthly price performance across all 12 months. The analysis calculated average returns by comparing opening and closing prices for each month across multiple years, giving a clear picture of seasonal trends in silver pricing.

The analysis identified the top 20 trading days with the widest intraday High-Low range relative to the opening price. A bar chart has been generated showing these days ranked by their range percentage, and a data table is also available with full details including Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume for each day.

The analysis identified the longest consecutive winning and losing streaks in Silver's daily closing prices. Five data tables were generated summarizing the streak patterns, giving you a detailed breakdown of the most notable runs of gains and losses over time.

Out of 3,768 total days in the dataset, 235 days (6.2%) have zero trading volume. These zero-volume days show distinctly different price behavior compared to normal trading days. A scatter plot has been generated showing the close prices on these zero-volume days over time, and detailed statistics tables are also available.

Significant overnight gaps (≥1% move between previous close and next open) occur about 27% of the time in Silver prices. Gap Ups are slightly more common than Gap Downs, with a 1.24:1 ratio. Two charts and summary tables were generated showing the full distribution and yearly breakdown.

The analysis produced two visualizations showing silver price appreciation broken down by fiscal quarter (Q1–Q4). A bar chart displays the mean return percentage for each quarter alongside the percentage of positive quarters, and a box plot shows the full distribution of returns per quarter. These charts reveal which quarters historically deliver stronger or weaker silver price performance.

Silver is currently trading at $88.09 (as of January 16, 2026), sitting just 5.3% — or $4.91 — below its all-time high of $93.00, which was reached only two days earlier on January 14, 2026. This means silver is very close to its peak and in a strong uptrend. A data table has been generated summarizing these key price levels.
