Silver price continues to rally, approaching the $40 mark, with OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) model ChatGPT-5 projecting that the metal could hit $50 in the coming months.
At press time, silver was trading at $38.86, up 1.8% for the day. Year-to-date, the white metal has gained 31%.
Silver’s momentum is supported by several bullish factors. Notably, expectations of lower interest rates could weaken the U.S. dollar, providing an additional boost.
At the same time, strong demand from industries such as solar, electric vehicles, and electronics continues to absorb significant volumes of the metal, while global mine output struggles to keep pace.
Silver’s path to $50
Regarding the metal’s path to $50, ChatGPT identified several key price levels that stand out. The next major resistance lies between $39.50 and $40, a critical technical and psychological ceiling.
Beyond that, $45 marks the last significant high before the pandemic. The ultimate test remains $50, a level reached only twice in history, in 1980 and 2011.
According to ChatGPT-5’s analysis, silver’s ability to reach $50 hinges on sustaining momentum above $40. A decisive breakout could propel the price toward $45 and $47 quickly, with $50 potentially achieved within six to 12 months.
If consolidation occurs in the $35 to $40 range, the target may be delayed until mid-to-late 2026. Conversely, a hawkish Federal Reserve and a stronger dollar could stall the rally, pushing the timeline into 2027 or beyond.
Factoring in the current breakout and macroeconomic backdrop, ChatGPT-5 projects a realistic move to $50 between the second and fourth quarter of 2026, with the possibility of an earlier spike if dollar weakness and supply constraints align.
