Silver has been trading in a $76 to $85 range over the past two weeks following the sharp selloff from its January 29 all-time high of $121.67. Friday's session closed at $78.06 as traders locked in profits and adjusted positions heading into the Presidents' Day long weekend.
What Moved Silver Prices This Week
Three factors shaped silver's price action heading into February 17:
Profit-taking after the $84.72 bounce. Silver surged to $84.72 per ounce on February 11, up nearly 5% on the day, after disappointing U.S. economic data boosted safe-haven demand. But sellers stepped in quickly, pushing prices back to $78.06 by Friday's close.
Federal Reserve expectations. Markets are pricing in roughly 60 basis points of Fed easing by year-end. Any shift in those expectations — through upcoming Fed minutes or inflation data — could move silver sharply in either direction.
Industrial demand remains firm. Despite the price correction, physical silver demand from solar panel manufacturers and EV producers has not slowed. The structural supply deficit, now in its sixth year, continues to provide a floor under prices.
Silver Price Context — February 2026

| January 29, 2026 (all-time high) | $121.67 |

| February 11, 2026 | $84.72 |
| February 13, 2026 | $78.90 |

Even at $76, silver is up over 160% from where it started 2025 at roughly $29 per ounce. The pullback from $121 represents a correction within a larger bull market, not a trend reversal — at least according to most Wall Street forecasts.
What to Watch This Week
The key events that could move silver prices this week include the release of Federal Reserve meeting minutes on Wednesday, housing starts data on Thursday, and any developments in U.S.-China trade negotiations. A dovish tone from the Fed minutes would likely support silver, while stronger-than-expected economic data could push the dollar higher and put pressure on precious metals.
