- Investors are increasingly shifting towards silver ETFs, with significant growth in physical silver holdings during November 2025.
- Silver ETF holdings have risen steadily in 9 of the past 11 months, reflecting strong investment demand.
- The silver skew indicator, which measures call-option volatility, has increased sharply, indicating high market expectations for price rises.
- Silver prices surged over 100% in 2025, marking the second-best historical annual performance.
- Analyst Rashad Hajiyev forecasts silver could reach $85 following a breakout from a 14-year formation and a retest of prior highs.
Global markets are undergoing significant shifts as economic factors impact the U.S. dollar’s stability. Investors are turning to precious metals, particularly silver, as a potential safe haven amid market uncertainty. In November 2025, physical silver-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) increased by 15.7 million ounces, signaling a robust interest in silver investments.
Year-to-date data indicate silver ETF holdings have grown in 9 out of the last 11 months. The silver skew, an indicator measuring the difference in volatility between call and put options (a metric of market sentiment towards rising prices), rose 8 percentage points to 10 percent, its highest level since March 2022.
This suggests that call options on silver, which bet on price increases, are becoming more expensive. Silver prices have climbed 101% in 2025, positioning the metal for its second-best yearly performance, behind only the 435% increase recorded in 1979.
According to Rashad Hajiyev, a market analyst, silver broke out of a 14-year formation in October 2025 and is currently undergoing a critical retest near its 2011 all-time high.
He projects that after this retest, expected to conclude around early November, silver may enter a strong upward trajectory, potentially reaching $85 before the end of 2025. This target is based on applying a historical price amplitude from previous lows to the all-time high.
Hajiyev also provides a forecast for Gold, setting an immediate target of $4,900 per ounce, which would correspond to a gold-to-silver ratio of 57. He notes this ratio aligns with historical patterns seen during prior precious metals bull markets.
