SILVER update:
Part 1 🧵

We’ve been in a long “accumulation” period in SILVER and I believe it’s being controlled and managed.

But NOT by the banks and commercial traders, who have controlled and suppressed the precious metals prices for generations.
The banks are now the ones being manipulated.

Trump is in control.

It’s a “controlled demolition” of the old financial system and the gold and SILVER prices are being managed to do two major things.

1) Prevent a worldwide financial collapse and chaos; similar to 2008 or worse.

2) Allow “time” for worldwide “accumulation” of gold and SILVER, in preparation for a return to the Gold Standard.

But it’s also more than that.

There’s another reason, we have been in a long consolidation period after SILVER went to its all time high around $120.

Trump is setting the table everywhere, for the biggest worldwide economic BOOM in history.

One of the largest areas of economic expansion has already begun in the tech sector, driven by AI technology.

The most valuable precious metal used for new technology and advanced weapons technology, is SILVER.

The SILVER price is purposely being managed and suppressed, in order to allow the major tech and weapons manufacturers to “accumulate” SILVER “stockpiles” at lower prices.
This is preparation happening ahead of time, to kickstart the coming Golden Age economic BOOM.

Why do I believe that?

There’s lots of anecdotal evidence out there, that must be gleaned from information worldwide.

Let’s connect some dots.

Inventories at depositories are lower than they should be.

“the amount of silver held in all these depositories, ETFs and mutual funds remains below its old all-time high inventory level of January 2021. But it should be far higher than it is as well, because silver is about 2.2x the price it was back then.”

The SILVER price is more than twice what it was at the ATH “inventory level” in 2021.
Inventory is being drained, but in an “orderly fashion.”

By who?

“Retail demand remains comatose -- and there are no 'out of stock' signs over at all the retail bullion stores”

Inventory is lower than normal, but there aren’t “shortages.” Retail sales are almost non existent.

Big buyers.

Do you know who holds the largest “physical” SILVER supply in the world?

“Sprott's PSLV (ETF) is the third largest depository of silver on Planet Earth with 215.6 million troy ounces”

“the COMEX, which has now been demoted to the second largest silver depository, where there are 323.4 million troy ounces being held”

But 103 million oz of that SILVER on COMEX is owned by JPM in a trust for SLV (ETF).
That’s not all that JPM owns.

How much “physical” SILVER does JPM own?

“For those of you who do not know, JP Morgan (JPM) is holding the world’s largest stockpile of physical silver, having amassed over 750 million physical ounces.”

“From June to October 1, 2025 JPM sold off its 200-million-ounce paper short position, freeing up funds for physical ounces and leaving the financial institution with zero short contracts. This is the first time in history that JPM has been long in both physical and paper silver. It is also worth noting that JPM’s shift coincided with the U.S. mint saying that they ran out of coins”

https://t.co/wmZoijRHXB

There is a “partnership” happening between JPM and Trump’s Treasury Department.

JPM has always played a key role in suppressing the SILVER price.
Not only by holding the largest physical supply in the world, but also holding hundreds of millions of ounces in “paper” SILVER shorts, to cap the price.

But all that has changed for the “first time.”

JPM is now, no longer “shorting” SILVER.

Can you see the full picture?

The biggest owner of physical SILVER was NOT “shorting” SILVER, as it dropped from its ATH of $120 to around $57 today.

That would have been a massive profit for JPM.

Was that a mistake by JPM, or part of a PLAN?

JPM didn’t just STOP shorting SILVER for the first time, they’ve been doing something else.

INSTITUTIONS SHORTING TO DEATH: TOP EXPERT REVEALS THE HIDDEN COMEX DESPERATION

German-Swiss silver expert Jochen Staiger just laid bare the true cause of silver's savage collapse. The metal fell from a January peak of $115 an ounce all the way to $57 today. That is a brutal 50 percent loss in a matter of months. Yet Staiger insists the fundamentals have never looked stronger and the real story lies in desperate futures market games.

THE MANIPULATION MECHANISM
➡️ Huge institutions have piled into massive short positions on the COMEX silver futures market.
➡️ Open interest now sits above 104,000 contracts which equals more than 500 million ounces on paper.
➡️ The whole COMEX only holds around 326 million ounces with roughly 86 million available for actual trading.
➡️ These players are shorting themselves deeper into trouble just to stay afloat for a little longer.

THE PHYSICAL MARKET THEY CANNOT CONTROL
➡️ The world has suffered through eight straight years of silver deficit that removed 1.3 billion ounces from available stocks.
➡️ Industrial demand continues to surge for solar power, electronics, defense and more.
➡️ New mine supply cannot possibly close the gap fast enough even if everything goes perfectly.
➡️ China has turned into an unstoppable buyer while controlling 70 percent of the world's silver refining capacity.

THE DESPERATE BANK PLAY
➡️ American banks have already racked up 316 billion dollars in unrealized losses this quarter.
➡️ They are using the futures market to manage positions and avoid even bigger disasters.
➡️ Staiger warns this approach is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline and sets the stage for explosive moves.

THE CORRECT RESPONSE RIGHT NOW
➡️ Most retail investors buy at the top in excitement and sell at the bottom in fear.
➡️ The winning move is to buy every dip in smaller tranches and hold physical metal tight.
➡️ Staiger himself keeps adding to his silver stack daily because he sees this drop as a gift.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Silver's plunge is nothing more than a paper market illusion created by institutions fighting for survival while the physical world tightens under relentless demand and Chinese accumulation. The fundamentals scream for much higher prices and the window to buy is wide open.

This is the sound of a manipulated market beginning to crack under its own weight.

#Silver
Back in 2024, a very wealthy friend of mine and I took a close look at silver’s supply and demand fundamentals, focusing purely on the industrial side. Back then, when silver was trading around $25, we both concluded that supply was critically tight relative to growing demand. We decided to go long. One key driver was the surging need for solar power (each panel requires roughly 20 grams of silver).
My friend, however, was bearish on crude oil at the time (around $57–60). When silver surged above $90–$100 while crude remained near $60, he felt silver had become too expensive relative to solar panel economics and turned bearish.
I exited my leveraged silver positions between $92 and $101 (as documented in my feed), not because I turned bearish, but because volatility had spiked dramatically (to $111). In my view, $100+ silver was never “too expensive” relative to solar panel pricing. Moreover, I remain strongly bullish on both gold and silver from a monetary perspective.
Fast forward to today: crude oil is flirting with $100, while silver is trading below $70.
From a pure industrial supply/demand standpoint, ask yourself this: with crude exploding higher, isn’t it logical that demand for solar energy will accelerate significantly? If that happens, higher oil prices should also allow solar panel prices to rise comfortably, giving silver substantial room to move higher.

$2 TRILLION in precious metals erased in 3 hours while futures go green . . . this isn't the market pricing in peace. This is forced liquidation across the board — margin calls are cascading and traders are selling whatever has gains to cover the positions that are bleeding. When gold, silver, AND oil all dump simultaneously during a war, something is breaking behind the scenes that we haven't been told about yet
