and when they took off when gold was shooting up. Probably the 1980 spike. There was a lag of 9 months or so before the shares reacted, and the reaction was quite violent. and they all went, producers, explorers the lot. Anything with ‘gold’ in the name including a couple of companies with nothing to do with gold!

NFGC – spiked on heavy volume in the last couple minutes of trading and then continued up another 6% in the AH’s where it is now.

I don’t see any news. Anyone?

You’re right, there’s zero sense of urgency to jump into the silver shares. They’re basically trading par with the metals. I don’t know why, maybe they think a big correction is coming. It would have to be big, because it seems to me these things are trading as if silver is $45 or so. Maybe after the first of the year the funds will be forced to get long.

Okay, so check this out—finding promising tokens on decentralized exchanges feels a lot like prospecting. You poke at a map, you read the soil, you taste the water. Sometimes you strike gold. Sometimes you get a mouthful of mud. Seriously, it’s messy and fast. My instinct said: focus on volume and liquidity first. Then the rest follows.

When I started trading on DEXs, I chased charts and FOMO. Big mistake. Pretty quickly I learned that raw price moves mean very little without context. On one hand a sharp pump can be a coordinated rug pull; on the other hand, sometimes it’s an early valid run. Initially I thought volume spikes were always bullish, but then realized that washed liquidity or tiny LPs can produce fake volume—so I had to dig deeper. Hmm… it’s a pattern recognition game, with a side of patience.

Here’s the short version: use a token screener to surface candidates, cross-check volume and liquidity trends, inspect token and LP ownership, and watch for on-chain red flags. Wow! That’s the map. But the devil is in the details, so let me walk you through my process—what I actually do, why, and the little things that hurt me before I learned them.

Step one: screen wide, then narrow. I run broad filters first. Look for tokens with increasing 24h volume, a minimum liquidity threshold, and recent token creations that aren’t seven minutes old. Medium volumes can be fine—20k to 200k across pairs can indicate organic interest if liquidity is decent. Low-liquidity projects with huge percentage moves? Be skeptical. They can be toy pumps. Also, I prefer tokens that trade on multiple DEXs and show cross-pair interest—it’s a sign real traders are involved.

Volume alone lies. Really. It lies like a politician. You must parse on-chain mechanics. Is the volume coming from many unique wallets, or from one wallet doing repeated buys and sells? Is the liquidity pool being topped up, or is someone adding and removing LP tokens? Those patterns tell stories.

Tooling matters. I use a mix of public screeners and manual chain checks. One place I recommend for quick triage is this resource here: https://sites.google.com/cryptowalletuk.com/dexscreener-official-site/. It’s useful for spotting sudden volume changes, token creations, and basic on-chain metadata without leaving your browser. That said, don’t stop there—treat it as the first read, not the whole book.

Reading the Volume Signal

Volume spikes are signals, not certainties. A genuine breakout usually shows: rising taker-side volume, expanding liquidity, and interaction from multiple wallet types (retail, small whales, and sometimes a recognizable market maker). If you see a 10x volume spike but liquidity stayed flat or decreased, my alarm goes off. That pattern often means buy pressure is coming from an unbacked buyer who intends to sell into the next bid.

Look at order patterns too. Several consecutive big buys followed by wash trades is different from steady buys across a period. Also, keep an eye on block timestamps—some manipulators split trades to look organic. That’s crafty, and it fooled me early on. I’m biased toward patience now; I’d rather miss a fast 2x than get rekt by a rug.

Watch for “silent” token moves. Sometimes volume increases on a token paired to a less popular chain or stablecoin while the main pair stays quiet. That can be intentional routing to confuse screeners. On the bright side, multi-pair interest tends to validate genuine demand.

Liquidity: The Unsung Hero

Liquidity tells you whether a move can be sustained. When LP depth grows alongside volume, it’s often a positive. But growth can be fake too—project teams can add and remove liquidity in ways that simulate health. So I always check LP token ownership and lock status. If a large percent of LP tokens belong to one wallet, that’s risky. If LP tokens are locked in a timelock contract with an independent auditor, that’s a plus.

Quick rule: prefer tokens with at least a moderate, decentralized LP base and clear lock/vesting details. Don’t be dazzled by shiny charts when liquidity structure is opaque. Somethin’ about vague contracts always bugs me.

On-Chain Forensics I Run Every Time

1) Token creator and deployer wallet—who owns it? 2) Holder distribution—top 10 holders share? 3) LP token holders—who controls the pool? 4) Contract source—verified and readable? 5) Transfer and minting events—any late minting or hidden mint functions? These checks take five to ten minutes but are worth hours of avoided pain.

For example, once I found a token with a decent volume trend and what looked like steady LP growth. I was about to buy when a quick holder check showed a single wallet had 60% of tokens and had been moving them around. I stepped back. Minutes later, the owner executed a dump. Oof. Lesson: trust, but verify.

Using Alerts and Watchlists

Don’t try to watch everything manually. Set alerts for sudden volume multipliers, token creations in specified chains, and LP additions above a threshold. Alerts let you triage fast, though you’ll still need to do the deep checks before deploying capital. I like to triage with a screener, then go deep on-chain via explorer tools and transaction histories.

Also, cultivate a small trusted list of projects and teams you’ve vetted. That network effect matters—mentions from knowledgeable traders can spotlight real opportunities, but always do your own on-chain vetting. Relying on opinions alone will bite you.

I’ll be honest: this is as much art as it is science. You build intuition by doing, failing, and adjusting. On one hand you want speed; on the other hand you need skepticism. Balance is the skill. My suggestion—start small, automate the triage, and always verify live on-chain activity before sending funds. There are no guarantees, but disciplined volume and liquidity analysis tilt the odds in your favor.

So go out there, keep the guard up, and pay attention to the little tells. You’ll get better. And hey—if somethin’ looks too perfect, it probably is. Stay curious, but stay cautious.

What other country is adverse as ours. It’s a scam. There’s only a few I can think of that assimilate and number one is the Japanese and didn’t come with their hand out either even when their country was war torn. Philippines as far as housing but will try to stick together and get connections to hook up job.

Point is this is it’s not diversity, they group together and these Somali and others group together and create organized crime where insiders must be inside demo criminals because they seem to be versed in how to funnel billions of our tax dollars fraudulently to transient migrant groups and were quite busy during Biden’s term.  This is not diversity,  they group together and then have no motivation to speak or read in English less they have to or assimilate to America culture and laws. Theres nothing diverse about it.

They’re also using us to funnel the money back to their country and some of which goes to terrorist groups.

There goes any hope to save UK or EU. Another problem with AI. Trump has been addressing the invasion of your borders and attacks on free speech. When Starmer and Zelenski got sent back home because of Zelenski acting like a thug thinking he could just demand things the VP Vance also confronted Starmer on treatment of the people and jailing people exercising free speech and Starmer lied and denied it. Vance looked like he wanted to kick him out of here. .

Checking to see if Trump offered to send any advisors to secure your border I couldn’t find any unfortunately but I found it more pathetically dire. When Trump suggested to use military to protect the borders Starmer told him they were using the military to help them in. Lol  Then mentioned returning some illegals to France they don’t belong either instead of where they came, I guess the people will have to do what it takes before the financial breakdown and chaos and no guns but somehow they can find their way into the hands of their enemies.

The UK government, under Prime Minister Starmer, later rejected the suggestion of using the military in this capacity, clarifying that military involvement under the previous government was limited to expertise in rescuing and picking up boats, not “pushback” tactics. Starmer emphasized that his government was taking the issue seriously through cooperation with other countries, such as a migrant return deal with France. 

I am not seeing any excitement in the shares (especially silver) considering the sh*t kicking SLV option writers are taking today. In the past they would have used the futures market to knock silver lower … and they have been trying with the futures trading lower than cash … so it’s not working … and is in fact very bullish.

So you would think traders would be looking at this and bidding the shares higher … and more liquid shares are well bid … but still not reflective of any hurry to get involved.

But then many juniors are comatose … with top calling and blatant shorting widespread.

They better hope silver doesn’t pull a ‘crazy Ivan’ on Sunday night / Monday and surge higher yet again.

I am trying to see the bearish case right now and I just don’t see it.

These guys must have deep pockets and no respect for risk (because they are using other people’s money).

Cheers all

That’s a kick in the yarbles! The German economy has plenty of troubles without that.

re EU borrowing…look what it has done to German rates

Was talking to a mate who is a serious car dealer…..and wheeler dealer…I asked him if he had heard about the new batteries, no he said, so I told him what I had heard……especially about the Silver…..AAAh he said, that might explain why another contact of his, had said to him last week…..there is no silver anywhere…you can’t get it….

If my mates can’t get any, there ain’t any……this would be scrap as well as bars.

EU Folds On Russian Asset ‘Reparations’, Commits $105BN Loan To Ukraine

Europe has folded rather quickly on EU leaders’ controversial plan to confiscate Russian assets held in Belgium’s depository Euroclear to use as a reparations loan for Ukraine.

On Friday it became clear in the two day Brussels summit the EU was unable to agree on the plan, but instead has opted to raise €90 billion ($105 billion) in joint borrowing, with Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia choosing not to take part.

re yr 6.38

That is AI bollox….please be careful what u post ……

They still want $4340 to be a block wall for some reason. Maybe if $4340 falls, the floodgates open to $5K

Bear Creek as well

Finally?

I’m glad we broke up out of the sideways over the last week. Hopefully this is THE breakout that gets us a 50% move in the HUI.

A good time for it to happen going into the New Year if it sticks.

Two mergers ( in the silver space), in the last few weeks……(Highlander/Bear Creek, and DVS and Contango). Seems to be potentially a “shift of gears” ( instead of a takeover which always produces a massive hit to the stocks).

Thoughts on this merger?

Because there is no justice in the justice system. Corrupt judges, prosecutors, Congress people. Corrupt government, period. There are two tiers of justice, that’s the way they like it.

This is why total collapse isn’t too far off. JMHO.

……is just a sliver of ACCOUNTABILITY!

Why does nothing happen to all of these individuals breaking the law! Omar should be in jail ( or at least thrown out of this country). The list is endless. Beyond frustrating!

Trump is taking over and is going to destroy Starmer. He demands  to send our border specialist to close the borders and empty the hotels. The people have to still  get the incompetent traitors  out of office stop their censorship, two tier weaponized justice and mass deport and harder sentences and deportation on migrant crime and deport non essential free loaders  and end WEF net zero as Charles political and disastrous political following of wef globalist is unconstitutional.  Don’t let the next in try to pick up where Starmer left off and list your demands. Starmer and cronies should be in prison and release the political prisoners.
