ASX silver share Unico Silver Ltd (ASX: USL) has been enjoying heady tailwinds from the rocketing silver price and its own exploration successes this year.
Currently trading for US$52.04 per ounce, the silver price is up a remarkable 80% year to date.
And that's helped send the Unico Silver share price up 202.5% since 2 January.
That's despite today's sharp retrace.
Unico Silver shares are changing hands for 60.5 cents apiece during the Monday lunch hour, putting the ASX silver share down 9.7% from Friday's close.
That selling looks to be spurred by a retrace in precious metals prices over the weekend, with the silver price down 4.1% today from Friday's all-time highs of US$54.24 per ounce.
But if Medallion Financial Group's Philippe Bui has it right, today's dip could be an opportune time to buy the miner (courtesy of The Bull).

Why this ASX silver share could keep on giving
"Unico Silver is our high conviction choice for silver exposure on the ASX," said Bui.
Commenting on the first reason you may want to buy the ASX silver share today, he said:
With a silver equivalent resource of more than 160 million ounces at its Cerro Leon and Joaquin projects in Argentina amid undertaking a major new drilling campaign, the company is primed for rapid resource growth and offers re-rating potential.
Then there's the ongoing silver bull market.
"Demand for silver is soaring on the back of solar, electrification and green technology trends, giving USL appealing leverage to a rising commodity," Bui said.
As for the third reason Unico Silver could keep on giving, Bui said, "USL is well funded and managed and operates in a proven mining district. Unico combines scale, exploration momentum and strategic upside.
Connecting the dots on the ASX silver share, Bui concluded, "At current levels, it offers attractive exposure to further movements in silver markets."
