Absolute Insanity in SILVER right NowSILVER (US$/OZ)TVC:SILVERrishyrish $4 billion in silver longs get vaporized in 70 minutes. $83.75 to $75.15. Fastest wipeout ever, With current price sitting at $71 American traders panic-dumped at $75, Chinese buyers were paying $90. Ninety. For the same metal. The premium didn’t shrink during the crash—it widened. Let that sink in. This wasn’t a top. This was a heist. China locks silver exports in 72 hours. January 1st. Export licenses only. They control 70% of global supply. COMEX is down 70% on inventory. London’s vaults are bleeding. And Elon Musk just tweeted “this is not good” about the shortage. The gold-silver ratio is 60:1. Historical average is 30. That’s $150 silver just to normalize. Everyone’s calling this 1980. It’s not. The Hunts were speculators playing paper games. This is industrial demand crashing into empty vaults. Solar panels don’t negotiate. AI chips don’t wait. Retail just handed their silver to sovereign wealth funds at a 15% discount. The rumor says a major bank collapsed on a silver margin call at 2:47 AM December 28. I cannot verify that. What I can verify is more interesting. JPMorgan filed an 8K on December 27 disclosing 4.875 billion dollars in unrealized silver losses. They flipped from 200 million ounces short to 750 million ounces long physical. The largest position reversal in the history of the silver market happened in the last 30 days and nobody on financial television said a word. The rumor claims 34 billion in emergency Fed repos. Official data shows routine operations under 7 billion. Either the data is lagged or the rumor is wrong. Why did JPMorgan suddenly need to own three quarters of a billion ounces of physical silver after spending 15 years on the short side. What did they see coming that made them eat a 5 billion dollar loss just to get positioned the other way. The collapse story might be fiction. The position flip is filed with the SEC. One of those facts will matter more in 90 days than the other. Stop chasing the rumor. Start asking why the smartest bank in commodities just switched sides at the worst possible price and seems fine with it.
