SIL:SLV.  This is a pretty shocking and depressing chart.

You’ve essentially had two very short spikes in silver miners relative to the metal since the low in 2016.  I don’t even count the 2019 rally since it was entirely wiped out by the Covid crash.

Basically, anyone holding silver miners has had to endure tons of pain relative to just sitting tight with physical.

The only solace in this chart is that it was almost exactly 3 years between the 2016 top and the 2019 low.

More recently, the ratio topped in April 2020, and we are approaching the 3 anniversary of that top.  That being said, even if the ratio were to bottom soon, we could still see some major damage in the next 2 months.  Crashes can occur extremely quickly.

It’s possible the low from last October holds.  At the very bottom you can see the stochastics and how weak they have been for so long.  For a huge crash to occur from these levels would take something special.  Rather a marginal new low could be in the cards, like in 2019.  the 2016 low was large, but the break down and rebound were very swift.
