A 46.3 million ounce silver shortfall is keeping pressure on an already tight market



A 46.3 million ounce silver shortfall is keeping pressure on a market that was already tight before 2026 got going, according to the World Silver Survey 2026 released on Wednesday.

Reportedly, global demand stayed above supply for the fifth year in a row in 2025, the deficit smaller than it was in 2024, but it still put more stress on above-ground stocks.

The 88-page report was released by the Silver Institute and researched and produced by Metals Focus, the London-based precious metals consultancy. Its numbers show that total silver demand slipped 2% last year to 1.13 billion ounces, but that top-line figure does not mean the market loosened up.

A strong rise in investment demand helped keep the market under pressure even as some other segments weakened. Coin and net bar demand rose 14%, which nearly canceled out declines elsewhere.

Industrial use lost steam as investors bought more silver and regional demand split sharply

Industrial silver demand fell 3% to 657.4 million ounces in 2025 after four straight years of strong growth. Electrical and electronics demand dropped 2%, but the market still got support from spending tied to AI infrastructure, solid automotive use, and healthy power grid investment.

But solar demand weakened, according to the survey, because strong competition and higher silver raw material costs pushed photovoltaic manufacturers to speed up thrifting and substitution.

Demand for brazing alloys still rose 1%, helped by the auto and aerospace sectors. Other industrial demand fell 7% because the ethylene oxide market slowed.

By region, most of the silver demand losses in 2025 came from East and South Asia, while Europe and North America stayed kind of stable, according to the survey.

CryptoQuant says bitcoin rally faces rising profit-taking risk as exchange inflows jump

CryptoQuant said bitcoin’s recent rally is facing rising profit-taking risk as exchange inflows spike and the price earlier reached the $76,000 resistance zone.

Large bitcoin holders are transferring bigger amounts to exchanges, “increasing the probability of near-term selling pressure,” CryptoQuant added.
Bitcoin's recent rally is now facing rising profit-taking risk, with several onchain indicators showing growing signs of selling pressure, according to CryptoQuant.

Bitcoin reached above $76,000 on Tuesday, reaching its highest level since early February. The move was supported by earlier undervaluation, a temporary easing in the U.S.-Iran conflict, and weakness in the U.S. dollar, CryptoQuant said in a Wednesday report written by its head of research, Julio Moreno.

The bitcoin price (BTC) has fallen a bit to $74,800 but is testing the traders' onchain realized price at $76,800, a major bear-market resistance level that has historically capped relief rallies as holders near breakeven are incentivized to sell, capping further upside, Moreno noted.

"This band capped the January 2026 bear market rally precisely at this level before prices reversed lower, and the same dynamic may repeat if selling pressure builds from current levels," Moreno wrote. "The lower band at ~$67,600 now serves as the primary near-term support if the resistance holds."

As the bitcoin price moved higher, exchange inflows increased. Hourly bitcoin inflows rose to around 11,000 BTC, the highest level since late December 2025, Moreno said. This is seen as a near-term warning signal, as investors often move assets to exchanges when preparing to sell.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Gains Momentum

as Meme Coin Activity Rises Shiba Inu (SHIB) is gaining attention again as meme coin activity increases across the crypto market. Recently, SHIB has shown a steady upward movement, supported by rising trading volume and growing interest from retail investors. As meme coins start trending again, SHIB is benefiting from the renewed hype and community-driven momentum. Another important factor behind SHIB's movement is the expansion of its ecosystem, including projects like Shibarium (layer-2 network), which aims to improve transaction speed and reduce fees. This development is strengthening long-term confidence among holders. However, like all meme coins, SHIB remains highly volatile and influenced by market sentiment.

Current Market Situation:

SHIB is currently trading around the $0.000025 - $0.000028 range, acting as a key consolidation zone. The price is holding above support, showing signs of accumulation. If volume increases, a breakout could

occur soon.

Price Prediction (Short-Term):

If SHIB breaks above $0.000030 resistance, next targets could be:

$0.000035

$0.000040

If rejection occurs:

Support levels: $0.000022 - $0.000024

Final Insight:

SHIB is currently neutral to bullish, driven by hype and ecosystem growth. A breakout could lead to a fast upward move, but traders should stay cautious due to volatility.

This proposal drew criticism from Justin Sun and other shareholders.

Tron founder Justin Sun harshly criticized the $WLFI’s new governance proposal, calling it a ridiculous scam and one of the “most absurd governance tricks” he had ever seen.
