Gold taking a breather? My strategy + thinking about silver

Anyone else feeling like gold's just kinda... static right now? Been watching the spot price every morning with my coffee out here on the farm, and it feels like it's been consolidating for a few weeks after that solid run over the winter. I put another $15k into my Gold IRA back in January when things looked like they were really heating up, and I'm still up nicely overall, but the daily movements are less exciting, shall we say.
My strategy has always been pretty straightforward: dollar-cost averaging into physical gold through my IRA for long-term wealth preservation. I'm not trying to time the market ā I've got enough of that trying to predict a yearling's temperament! For my main portfolio, I'm thinking of continuing this approach, maybe adding another $10k sometime in the next quarter if we see any pullbacks below $2300-2350 an ounce. Iām in Louisville, KY, and with the economic uncertainty, I just feel safer knowing I have that real asset.
But this brings me to a question for you all: Are any of you diversifying within precious metals, specifically looking at silver right now? I've got a decent chunk of gold, probably sitting around $180k-$200k in the IRA, maybe $25k in some other physical gold scattered around. I've heard some talk about silver being undervalued compared to gold historically. Thinking about maybe allocating a smaller percentage, say 5-10%, of my next precious metals investment towards silver bars, maybe 100oz bars, just to see how it plays out.
What are your thoughts on silver's current potential relative to gold? Is it just noise, or is there a real opportunity there for someone who's looking to diversify a bit beyond just gold? Appreciate any insights, especially from folks who've been in the metals game longer than my few years.
