Silver Breakout Targets Multi Decade Highs Amidst Green Tech Supply Squeeze

Industrial Shortages in Solar and AI

The fundamental story for silver in late 2025 is one of persistent deficit. Demand from the photovoltaic (solar) sector and high-end AI electronics has outpaced global mine production for the fourth consecutive year. This physical tightness is now being reflected in the spot price, which has seen a 10% jump in just the last 30 days as industrial users scramble to secure physical delivery.

Technicians point to the breach of $70 as a definitive signal that the multi-decade resistance has turned into support, setting the stage for a volatile but bullish 2026.
