SILVER) at $34.07 since mid-March. This divergence has pushed the Gold/Silver ratio to elevated levels, creating a potential mean-reversion opportunity.
Looking at the chart, both metals maintained strong correlation through January-February 2025 before Gold began its dramatic acceleration in March-April. While both assets remain in strong uptrends, Gold's nearly vertical move in April suggests potential overextension relative to its historical relationship with Silver.

SHORT Gold / LONG Silver at current ratio
Target: Reversion to 50-day moving average of Gold/Silver ratio
Stop: 2% additional expansion of current ratio
