3 Indicators of a Potential Bubble in Silver Prices – Barron’s

Recent market trends have raised concerns that silver prices may be entering a bubble. Here are three signs indicating a likely bubble:

2. Over-speculation: An influx of speculation often signals a bubble. Investors flocking to silver due to FOMO (fear of missing out) can drive prices to unsustainable levels.
