The structural read
What price action says about SLV.
SLV qualifies for the Red List on decline depth — down -37.8% from its rolling 252-day high. Past 30% with the high set inside the last four months — the recency clause that often precedes further breakdown. Depth plus recency: this is the pattern many investors call a falling knife.
Cross-confirmation: decline sigma also reads 4.9σ over 20 bars.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Broken Stocks stops here — it flags the structure, it doesn't build the upside case. Working out whether SLV's turn is investable is what our sister tool does: ConvictionEdge — triple-engine conviction research on names showing a recovery signal.
Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase daily. Last bar types — daily 3 (green), weekly 1 (red), monthly 2U (green).

Questions about SLV
What people ask.
Why is SLV on Broken Stocks?
SLV qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -37.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $109.83, set on 2026-01-29 — 119d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for SLV?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — SLV is still Red List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is SLV a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. SLV is down -37.8% from its 52-week high of $109.83, set 119d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is SLV a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is SLV trading inside its 52-week range?
At $68.36, SLV sits 48.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($29.10) to its 52-week high ($109.83). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has SLV been declining?
The current 37.8% decline accrued over 119d, which annualizes to roughly -115.9% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
