Silver experienced a blow-off top on Friday, dropping nearly 40% intraday, one of its worst drops in a century. Various indicators, such as distance from the 200-day moving average, exhaustion gaps, record trading volume, and hitting the 261.8% Fib level, signaled the impending drop. The losses were attributed to profit-taking, a stronger U.S. dollar, and a new Fed Chair.

Looking at historical patterns, silver may have just witnessed a multi-year top, similar to the blow-off tops it experienced in 1980 and 2011. The correlation between silver and equities has grown closer in recent months, leading to potential implications for the stock market in the aftermath of silver topping.
