description: "Silver prices plummeted 46% to $66 per ounce, down from $121.67 in January, driven by slowing demand, rising costs, and persistent inflation fears. Concurrently, Congress is considering the SILVER Act, which aims to expand regulated precious metals storage eligibility beyond New York to enhance market resilience. Technically, $66.18 serves as a key resistance level for silver ETFs; failure to break above could prolong the current downtrend."
