When Gold and Silver Prices Spike: Should You Sell Now or Wait?

When gold or silver jumps fast, phones ring, lines form, and people feel pressure to act right now. Our advice is to take a breath.

What happens in a spike

• Headlines and social media create a rush, and rushed decisions are often regretted.
• After sharp spikes, prices often pull back, sometimes quickly.
• No one can time the exact top or bottom, including us.

If you are thinking of buying

Buying in the middle of a spike often means paying at or near the top. Waiting for things to settle and for a pullback is usually the calmer choice than chasing the price.

If you are thinking of selling

• Don’t panic. Your items will still be here next week.
• Know what you have. Coins, bullion and scrap gold are priced differently.
• Decide calmly. Pick the amount you are comfortable with and stick to it.
• Selling part now and part later is one way some people avoid regret either way.
