*Silver Surges 100% in 2025, Profit Booking or Averaging?*
Precious metals, especially gold and silver, are extremely volatile this week due to expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut. Silver has shown extraordinary strength since Monday, continuing its upward trend.
In MCX, Silver March Futures opened with a strong gap up today and touched ₹190799 per kg in the morning session. In international markets, Silver March Futures hit a new record of $62.0180 per ounce, while silver spot (XAGUSD) reached $61.479 per ounce. Silver has significantly outperformed gold, supported by tighter supply conditions and attractive valuations.
Silver prices have doubled in the last 12 months, Spot silver was trading near $30 in January 2025 and today reached $61.479, marking a gain of over 100%. The US government recently classified silver as a critical mineral, further boosting investor sentiment. Expectations of a Fed rate cut today are also pushing metal prices higher.
Due to daily movements of ₹3000 - ₹5000 in MCX Silver March Futures, many traders are confused, especially intraday traders and those holding old positions around ₹180000 per kilo gram. They are unsure whether to book losses or average at life high levels.
*In my opinion, after today’s strong gap up opening and life high levels, a round of profit booking is likely before the Fed decision.*
Given the heightened volatility in MCX Silver March Futures, it is safer to focus only on intraday trading with strict stop losses.
*Intraday Strategy*
Sell near the 190799 range (today’s high, after opening gap up)
Target 1: New low around ₹188000
If this level breaks, expect further downside toward ₹187000 and ₹186000 before the US/Europe market opens.
For Traders Holding Old Sell Positions (around ₹180000)
Consider averaging near life high levels and wait for the expected downside targets within this week.
