Have you ever wondered why crude oil and silver have been moving in sync since 1861? An invisible hand… or a hidden law of markets?”
160+ years of history. Two commodities, different fundamentals. Yet their long-term paths are tied together. 🤔
Wars, recessions, inflation shocks, monetary resets… silver & oil dance to the same rhythm. Why?
Textbooks won’t explain it. Supply & demand models don’t hold up. Even most analysts overlook this correlation.
Patterns this old aren’t random. Something deeper is at play, macro cycles, capital rotation events, maybe even hidden monetary anchors?
Observe once again the 160 year chart of crude oil vs silver. The connection is undeniable.
What force ties them together? History doesn’t whisper… it shouts (for those looking at historical charts). Markets are ruled by more than meets the eye.
@badcharts1 There is no useful data in this statistic. The value of the $USD is what painted this chart. Compare virtually any set of commodities, and you'll get the same.
@ehelpmann This chart is telling you there is nothing special about the fundamentals of silver OR oil that would make them behave differently. All symptoms. Macro capital flows are carving out these charts (and other commodities), no matter their individual narratives and story lines.
@badcharts1 Which leads which?
@Noneotherthanwe Not clear. The idea is that they tack the same trends.
@badcharts1 Only via What’sApp, but not for members? Why and what am I paying for?
@4d0s8 That is a scammer.
@badcharts1 Considering oil is down this year...I would assume it would catch up to silver very soon
@IeriStaff Yes, the trend is up for both of these, on the higher time frame.
@badcharts1 Patrick… well, this raises the obvious question - what’s your target price for crude oil? Thanks!
@TomJanes9 Higher!
@badcharts1 Easy ….manipulation. 🤔
@goodmanjames553 So both are manipulated equally?
@badcharts1 So, also buy oil?
@Breuckelen_34 When it breaks out, yes.
@badcharts1 Both are earth-limited natural resources that are gradually depleted.
@badcharts1 The first and second, most industrially consumed material on the planets correlate, nah?!
@badcharts1 I'm going to guess, it's the input energy required to mine silver. Higher input cost = higher silver.
@badcharts1 brent-to-silver-ratio is actually quite telling ...
@badcharts1 I bet the answer lies in the total money supply.
@badcharts1 Industrial demand reflective of the state of the economy
@badcharts1 Here are the analysis results. 👇
@badcharts1 Is it not rather obvious that mining is inextricably tied to the energy necessary to extract, process and refine metals from the earth? If oil rises, the cost to mine increases. If the price of oil falls the cost to mine also falls.
@badcharts1 Since GFC, Brent priced in silver has followed the 4-year liquidity cycle. Brent/Ag is currently bottoming out which means maximum liquidity. Good time to sell all the things.
@badcharts1 Does that mean that silver has NOT been suppressed more than any other commodity like many say? 🤔 Which is it?
@badcharts1 Who grote down the price of oil and Silver that long ago??
@badcharts1 What is your point?
