As silver prices take a breather below Rs 2 lakh, analysts are looking at fresh upside as even the rally stalls

Silver prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell on Friday, halting just short of crossing the much-awaited and psychologically crucial mark of Rs 2 lakh per kg. The March 2026 silver futures contract fell by Rs 1,305 or 0.66% to Rs 1,97,637 during the session as traders booked profits.The break in momentum comes after silver touched an all-time high of Rs 1,99,220 on the MCX during Thursday’s session, underscoring the metal’s strong bullish undertone in recent weeks.

Analysts believe that this corrective move is temporary and silver remains on track to test higher levels, supported by global cues, industrial demand and a weak rupee. They view this move as a correction and not a reversal as the Rs 2,03,000 target still seems in play.Ponmudi R., CEO of Enrich Money, noted that “Silver continues to outperform gold in both global and domestic markets,” adding that the rally was supported by a “strong trend acceleration, driven by industrial demand and broader dollar softness.”

He further highlighted the importance of the breakout, “Continuing this breakout, the targets of Rs 2,00,000 – Rs 2,03,000 remain active. The support is at Rs 1,90,000, with deeper support at Rs 1,86,000, although the larger trend remains clearly upward.”


Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities at Mehta Equities agreed with the positive sentiment, stating that “silver has hit another all-time high and is heading towards $65/oz,” while also noting that strong global fundamentals and a weaker rupee “will keep domestic bullion prices elevated.”

On the technical front, Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvi Finmart Commodity Research also said that silver is expected to trade between Rs 1,96,600 and Rs 2,04,000 in the near term, suggesting that the Rs 2 lakh level remains a key pivot point. The company recommended waiting for “some corrective dips before initiating new long positions in gold and silver and also suggested strictly avoiding short selling in both precious metals.”

While silver may have stalled just below the Rs 2 lakh mark for now, market observers believe the correction could set the stage for the next leg of the rally, especially if support levels persist and fresh buying emerges.
