Political uncertainties continue to favour metals, including Silver and Gold, as the traditional asset class traded around $104 and $4,980 on Friday 23, January 2026, highlighting their dominance amid global uncertainties.

Despite many traditional assets such as the S&P 500 looking weak during the week’s market open, leading to many liquidations across traditional finance, the likes of Silver and Gold have maintained a strong upward price action to the upside as prices could be headed towards new all-time highs of $110 for Silver and $5,000 for Gold.

Market Expectations and Sentiment for Silver and Gold

Market expectations and sentiment around Gold and Silver prices remain bullish despite the market hitting new all-time highs daily, as this could continue for the traditional metal assets, which have demonstrated strong dominance and price action amid market uncertainties.

Speculations suggest Silver could trade towards a high of $130 and Gold towards $5,200 before seeing further market retracement. Gold and Silver haven’t shown any signs of slowing down, as bulls have dominated the market for most of the month, with more upside potential.

However, BTC has struggled over the last few weeks despite a short-term market rebound to $97,500, as the price has declined towards $88,000 late this week. Price is looking promising once more, but needs to break above $100,000 for strong bullish sentiment to be restored in the market.

Traders and investors currently favour Silver and Gold as these two assets have greatly outperformed BTC in the last few months.
