Silver price today rebounds after sharp plunge; $80 level back on traders’ radar

Silver price today rebounds after sharp plunge; $80 level back on traders’ radar

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:07 ET — Premarket Spot silver rose early Tuesday after a steep selloff a day earlier, with the silver price today up 3.1% at $74.49 an ounce by 2:09 a.m. ET, after touching a record $83.62 in the prior session. The rebound matters because silver’s late-year surge has drawn heavy leverage and momentum trading, leaving prices prone to sharp, fast moves when liquidity is thin around year-end. That volatility has widened the gap between highs and lows over the past 24 hours, forcing traders to reassess positioning as silver heads into 2026 still near record

Barrick Gold stock rises premarket as gold price steadies after sharp selloff

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:07 ET — Premarket Barrick Mining shares were up 1.1% in premarket trade on Tuesday, tracking a rebound in gold prices after a sharp, year-end selloff rattled the precious-metals complex. StockAnalysis+1 The moves matter because gold has been whipsawing near record levels, and miners tend to amplify bullion’s swings as investors reassess margins, costs and cash flows. Thin holiday trading can magnify that volatility.

SoFi stock (SOFI) slips into year-end: what traders are watching before the open

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:52 ET — Market closed SoFi Technologies (SOFI) shares ended the prior session lower as U.S. stocks retreated, with investors trimming exposure to growth-linked names ahead of the New Year. The move matters because SoFi trades like a high-beta fintech — it tends to swing more than the market when risk appetite shifts, especially when interest-rate expectations are in flux. With a holiday-shortened week and lighter volumes, small changes in rate and equity futures can translate into outsized moves in momentum stocks, traders said. SoFi closed at $26.82 on Monday, down 25 cents from the

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:19 ET — Market closed Ondas Holdings Inc shares closed Monday down 0.2% at $8.46, after trading between $8.22 and $8.66, according to market data. Volume was about 29.7 million shares. The small-cap defense robotics name has drawn outsized attention in December, with traders balancing fresh expansion moves against a near-term increase in share supply that can pressure prices.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:23 ET — Market closed MARA Holdings Inc shares slipped 1.1% to $9.49 in the last session, after trading between $9.38 and $9.84 on volume of about 29.6 million shares. Bitcoin fell about 2% to $87,869. The move matters because bitcoin miners tend to amplify swings in the underlying token. They earn revenue in bitcoin while paying many costs — including power and equipment — in dollars, which can widen the impact of crypto price moves on equity valuations.
