🐈 What Drove the Silver Drop

Silver sold off sharply after an extreme rally, and the move was driven by market mechanics rather than a sudden change in fundamentals.

Prices had reached nearly $84 per ounce, up more than 160% on the year. The advance went vertical in a very short period of time. Moves like this often end the same way, with leverage becoming the main driver instead of real buying.

When volatility spikes that hard, exchanges typically raise margin requirements. This forces traders to put up more cash to keep positions open. Those who are overleveraged and cannot meet the new requirements are pushed to sell immediately.

That selling triggers liquidations across futures markets. As positions are closed automatically, price drops accelerate and turn into a cascade. The roughly 12% decline in under two hours fits this pattern almost perfectly.

This type of move is known as a liquidation break. It reflects positioning stress after an extreme run, not a breakdown in silver supply, demand, or long-term fundamentals.

Stories about a JP Morgan margin call and a secret Federal Reserve bailout should be treated with skepticism. Large banks use the repo market daily to manage liquidity, and seeing large overnight flows there is standard operating procedure, not evidence of a hidden collapse.

This was leverage being flushed out after a parabolic move. The price action looks violent, but the cause is mechanical, not systemic.

If you’re about to quit trading because you’re broken by it.

STOP

Before you walk away, do this once.
Write your rules.
Every rule you keep breaking.
Every rule you know you should follow.

Then trade that exact plan for 90 days.

No changes.
No exceptions.
Don’t try to win.
Don’t try to recover.
Just execute.

If you still want to quit after that, walk away clean.

But you won’t.
Because the problem was never the market.

It was the version of you that wouldn’t stay still long enough to let consistency work.
