How to Read the Ratio
High ratio (> 80) — Silver is historically cheap relative to gold. Some investors switch gold holdings into silver expecting mean reversion.
Low ratio (< 40) — Silver is relatively expensive. Some investors shift back toward gold.
Important: The ratio is a relative measure only — it does not predict absolute price direction for either metal.
