Spot silver prices hovered at $79.16 per troy ounce on Saturday, notching a new all-time high after soaring by 10%.
Schiff's Outlook
Economist Peter Schiff raised concerns about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), warning that a scenario in the opposite direction might happen with the cryptocurrency, compared to what is happening with silver prices.
"What is happening with silver may soon be happening with Bitcoin, only in reverse," he said. The economist emphasized that market downturns typically occur more rapidly than upturns, indicating a potentially expedited timeline for such a shift.

What is happening with silver may soon be happening with Bitcoin, only in reverse. But since markets tend to melt down faster than they melt up, the time frame for the move should be condensed.

Soaring Silver
The silver market has been experiencing significant fluctuations, with prices reaching record highs. In December, silver, along with gold, surged to new peaks.
This rally was part of a broader trend, as silver had already hit a record high of $51 an ounce in October, marking a psychological milestone for investors. Analysts have suggested that the explosive move in silver prices might still be ahead, driven by severe physical market stress and a structural supply crunch.
Despite these gains, silver remains relatively undervalued compared to gold. The gold-to-silver ratio remains high, suggesting potential for further price adjustments.
