I discovered some interesting data today:
BTC's current upward trend started in November 2022, bottoming at $15k. It reached a high of $126k in early October 2025, then retraced to $73k in February 2026, and is currently rebounding to $75k.
Silver's current upward trend started in September 2022, bottoming at $18. It reached a high of $121 at the end of January 2026, then retraced to $72 in February 2026, and is currently rebounding to $91.
In other words, if you had the same mindset and tried to buy at the bottom based on a 40% retracement from the top, and accurately bought at the very bottom, your return on BTC would be less than 3.5% so far, while your return on silver would be 26%.
