Silver Just Crashed 15.75% In 24 Hours, Wiping Out Nearly $600 Billion From Its Market Cap On Dec 29, 2025. Here’s The Truth: This Isn’t Random, This Follows A Familiar Institutional.
Silver Trades In Two Markets: 🔹 Paper Silver (COMEX Futures & Derivatives) – Currently $70–$73/Oz 🔹 Physical Silver (Real-World Market) – Japan $130, UAE $115, India $110, Shanghai $80–85 That’s A $10–$60 Premium Over COMEX. That Gap Shouldn’t Exist… But It Does, Because The Paper Market Is Massively Leveraged: 400+ Ounces Of Paper For Every 1 Ounce Of Real Silver.
When #Silver Started Pumping, Margin Requirements On Futures Were Raised, Forcing Traders To Sell. Price Drops But Real Silver Scarcity Doesn’t Go Away.
History Repeats Itself: 🔹 2008–2016: JP Morgan Caught Manipulating Gold & Silver Futures 🔹 2020: Paid $920M In Fines 🔹 Large Banks Still Hold Massive Paper Positions, Leverage Is Higher Than 2011, And Physical Silver Inventories Are Low
Every Major Silver Rally Follows The Same Script: 1️⃣ Rapid Upside From Real Demand 2️⃣ Paper Leverage Builds 3️⃣ Margin Pressure Hits 4️⃣ Forced Liquidation Crashes Price 5️⃣ Price Suppressed For Years
Bottom Line: This Is Market Structure, Not A Single Bank. Big Players Profit. Retail Gets Left Holding The Bag.
Now you can clearly see how #ETH got rejected hard from the $3800–$4200 zone, exactly where I mentioned the short opportunity earlier.
From that level, ETH delivered nearly a 38% downside move, Price action.
Hope you: ✅ Took profits on shorts ✅ Or bought the dip between $3000–$2700, as planned
This zone remains a strong accumulation area for the next leg up. If Ethereum Dips Even Further into $2500–$2000, that would be a gift, look to accumulate more for the long-term $10,000–$20,000 ETH target.
Markets Reward Patience and Preparation. Stay sharp. More Moves Ahead.
