Gold blasted through $4K as expected, but I sure as heck didn’t expect silver to lose 2/3rds of its gains. That is some serious B.S.

Recovering some, but always tough when the SM craters.

Always sumptin’

Stocks Tank, Bonds Bid As Trump Threatens “Massive Increase” In Tariffs On Chinese Goods | ZeroHedge

Naz 100 is down 500 and silver is being pushed below $50 in an effort to trigger a waterfall.

Would be nice to see spot silver close the week above $50.

Everything is crossed.

Stocks Tank As Trump Threatens “Massive Increase” In Tariffs On Chinese Goods

But then they are stopped dead…wierd action.

then the metals slip and the shares go straight down…

They are working overtime to keep gold pinched in order to keep silver from exploding. I just get the feeling gold is going to burst.

Then again, could just be digestive issues. 😂

I’m out for awhile. Good luck!

Definite have their thumb on silver. Gold too.

Shares bleeding. I’m betting we retake $50.

I don’t think they’ll be able to cover for the LBMA shortages for too much longer, but we’ll see.

edit: back above $50 but these shares need to confirm this move, and they are struggling.

the price of Gold ( tick by tick) on trading view. Some crazy stuff going on; jumping around by some .40 a tick……

Yeah, it’s weird. Spreads widen, price bounces all over the place. Seems by the time the Crimex opens it goes back to normal.

Back above $50 now, if it holds, I’d expect these shares to make up some ground. Those were some big losses yesterday. Despite being overbought, I think most of the shares are still well under-valued. NEM earnings should be up around $2 a share for Q4, which puts them about a 10 PE.

I’m not sure how you even estimate the silver share earnings. The one good thing is that the cost to dig it up hasn’t been rising with the metal price, yet anyway.

Rates are falling pretty well now. 10 yr down 5 bips. Should be a wind at our backs.

until Crimex realized they made a mistake.

This looks like they’ll close them on round numbers. Hopefully $4K and $50

One decent thing happened yesterday, the HUI’s RSI dropped all the way down to 60, lifting us out of overbought. That being said, the shares look weak to me.

He’s right, how far can AI keep things going for equities when it’s only one small slice of the pie. People are maxing out there credit cards, turning to on line gambling, some turned to drugs for anxiety, I don’t know how well the auto industry is doing, housing is way over priced for the average income. So on and so forth.

Every time the clock ticks 8 am over here, the bids on GLD and SLV start jumping around all over the place.

That is interesting….as I was just wondering last night, if the Algo’s are programmed to kick in at certain times…..and it looks like they are….I also think there are Algo’s trading off the scum…but haven’t realised the scum have quit…..today may show a lot.

Gold’s lost $4K and barely holding a gain. Silver barely hanging onto $50 now.

So weird. Every time the clock ticks 8 am over here, the bids on GLD and SLV start jumping around all over the place.

I didn’t open the link. I’m glad I didn’t now.

My grandmother was involved in the entertainment sector in the days of vaudeville. That didn’t fit in with my grandfathers life style so they parted and she remarried someone in entertainment. That’s when she got to know the Capones, actors like Ronald Regan and politicians go figure. I like comedy and scouts and others were looking at me and Disney too wanted to make a record with me in the days I could also sing. My grandmother did everything possible to keep them away from me. I couldn’t figure out why. But one day when I was about 18 I got a gift from someone in the business. I didn’t even know him. He gave it to my mom to give to me. It was a cup and one.ths cup it said Student Lover”???? These people didn’t even hide their depravity. Then I realized what she was keeping me away from and was mad at my mom.

Al was gone before I was born. Either I .prison or had passed. I’m not sure when he passed away. But his brother Raul don’t know if it is correct spelling was and they were friends. After a divorce he made sure she had food for my mom when young too during the depression years temp hard times. They both moved to Wisconsin in different cities but we’re still friends. She said that when Al and his brother Raul got together they acted like kids pulling pranks on each other like hot foot. Another game they’d play I never asked what it was, was spoons. So now you have a back drop.

She had ironically a lot of safety from the Capone gang in Chicago.

I can’t imagine why !!!!!

Yr back stories continue to astound !!!

as for SNG the never ending conspiracies get tiresome….everything I have seen read on Charlie Kirk, says he was a one off good guy…maybe God did send him….. to do his work…But to besmirch his wife, that way….while he is barely cold is just sick…he should know better.

You know I think the shorts are outnumbered this time. They probably will not stop and fight all the way up. They are slowing the parabolic down but haven’t stopped it yet anyways.

It looks like the bears might have to wear themselves out into early next week then see what happens. Hopefully

someone is caught badly and desperate to break the Bull

That is terrible about your friend. I see the system doesn’t protect either Jewish or Christians from harassment from Muslims. I never thought I’d see where Jewish would have to go underground like my grandmother did through her parents changing her name who was from UK on my mother’s side. She had ironically a lot of safety from the Capone gang in Chicago. There’s pictures of me As a baby being held by different members of the gang when grandma was watching me. I think his brother Raul was good with kids I liked him.

But since they don’t care about any citizen there I guess it wouldn’t matter. They’d have hell to pay here plus you can carry here. Although I’m Christian I am friends with SNG so he is not antisemitic. He’s just pro conspiracy.

The share sellers yesterday are going to have to hit the metals before yr SM opens and hit the shares on the open ……or they are royally screwed

They had many shares down near 8 or 10 %…which looking at this rally is insane…….

Whoa!
Charts tell stories that trade alerts never do.
At first glance a price line looks like noise, but patterns hide in the clutter.
Initially I thought a single on-chain metric would be enough, but then I realized that combining liquidity flow, swap frequency, and price depth gives a clearer — though still imperfect — signal.
My instinct said “watch the lids,” meaning watch where liquidity stalls and then breaks, because that’s where the big swings often originate.

Seriously?
Yes — traders miss a lot by focusing only on candlesticks.
Volume alone lies sometimes, especially on low-cap tokens where a few wallets can fake momentum.
On the other hand, relative depth across pools tells you whether a move is sustainable or just somebody flexing wealth for a tweet.
I’m biased, but the best edge is simple: compare price charts to liquidity behavior, not just to each other.

Here’s the thing.
Price charts give you rhythm.
DEX analytics give you context: who is trading, where liquidity lives, and how fast positions flip.
If you overlay swap distribution and holder concentration on a price chart you can see whether a breakout is retail-driven or whale-propelled, which actually matters for risk management.
I once watched a token print a “breakout” that was entirely one wallet shifting between two pools, and that lesson stuck with me.

Hmm…
Short-term TA feels satisfying, but it often misses the underlying plumbing.
Liquidity pullbacks are what blow setups apart, and they can happen after a benign-looking wick.
So I track not only the aggregated liquidity, but also the rate of change — how fast LP is being removed or added — because speed predicts panic more than absolute numbers do.
This approach isn’t perfect; it just reduces surprise.

Whoa!
There are traps in on-chain chatter.
New token launches attract bots and hype, which makes the early chart look tasty but dangerous.
A smart way to peel back the hype is to check swap activity across time buckets: are trades steady, or are they clustered into short bursts that end as quickly as they began?
If it’s bursts, be skeptical; if it’s steady, there’s at least some organic demand.

Seriously?
Yes again.
I remember a Friday pump that collapsed Sunday night, and the chain data showed liquidity stitched up across multiple chains — a patchwork of shallow pools that couldn’t sustain a retracement.
On one hand, cross-chain liquidity can stabilize price by widening access, though actually it often introduces fragility when bridges and routers are involved, and that fragility shows up on charts as synchronized dumps.
So check routing paths when you analyze price movement.

Whoa!
Tool choice matters.
A chart that shows only price and volume is like reading a map without a compass.
I use price charts for topology and DEX analytics to find the compass bearing: who added liquidity, who pulled, where the biggest swaps happened, and which pairs are acting as price anchors.
This is where dex screener becomes handy for quick forensic reads, because it surfaces the liquidity and swap snapshots I need without heavy setup.

Okay, so check this out—
When I first started, I made the mistake of trusting TVL headlines.
Actually, wait—let me rephrase that: TVL is a headline, not a thesis.
On a price chart, TVL changes can confirm momentum; yet sometimes TVL lags price, and when that happens it’s a red flag for a blow-off top.
I’m not 100% sure of any single metric, but combining them sharpens the picture.

Hmm…
Look for divergence patterns between price and swap count.
A rising price with falling swap frequency often signals concentration — the price is moving because fewer traders are pushing it, which means lower liquidity and higher risk.
On the flip side, rising price with increasing swap count suggests adoption or at least broader participation, which supports sustainable moves.
This is basic, but easily missed when you’re watching the headline chart on autopilot, very very easy to miss.

Whoa!
Order book mentality helps, even in AMMs.
Think of liquidity depth like standing in a grocery line; if a big shopper walks out, the line moves differently.
AMM pools behave similarly: shallow depth equals volatile reactions to large swaps, and price charts amplify those reactions into exaggerated candles.
So normalize price moves by effective depth to filter out noise and to size entries prudently.
That one tweak lowered my stop-outs by a noticeable margin.

Here’s the thing.
Token holder distribution skews everything.
If 10 wallets control 80% of supply, price charts can be manipulated with relatively small capital.
I habitually inspect holder concentration alongside price, because a clustering of supply increases the odds of coordinated sell-offs.
This is especially true for newly minted tokens where vesting schedules are invisible on the chart but painfully obvious when you glance at on-chain holder activity.

Whoa!
On-chain alerts are great, but they need context.
An alert that a big transfer happened is noise unless you know whether it moved into a CEX, into a dead wallet, or into another liquidity pool.
I combine alerts with chart timing so that a transfer aligned with a price wick gets prioritized.
Sometimes somethin’ as small as a 2% transfer right before a dump tells you more than a PR campaign ever will.

Seriously?
Yes, timing matters.
Market makers and bots respond faster than humans, so look for micro-structure on the chart: repeated small wicks, bid-ask collapse, or sudden spreads widening.
These micro signals often precede larger moves because they reflect the internal rebalancing of LP positions.
A human trader can use that lag to enter or exit with better risk control if they watch closely.

Here’s what bugs me about charts—
They can lull you into overconfidence.
A clean breakout on a 4-hour chart feels decisive until you zoom in and see the liquidity that made that move was paper-thin.
So I always cross-check with DEX analytics to find the source pools and the wallet activity that created the move.
This check is quick and prevents a lot of dumb loses, seriously.

Whoa!
Narratives will mislead you.
Token teams craft stories that make charts look inevitable, and retail often buys into the narrative first.
But market structure — levels of liquidity, holder composition, and swap cadence — tells you whether the story will survive price action.
On one hand a good story can attract real users; on the other, it’s very often just marketing until proven by on-chain metrics.

Hmm…
Position sizing is where chart work becomes risk management.
I usually reduce size when on-chain metrics show high concentration or rapid liquidity churn, even if the chart setup looks perfect.
This rule cost me some winners, but it saved me from large crashes more often than not.
I’ll be honest: I still get FOMO sometimes, but my trading log keeps me honest.

Whoa!
Backtests help, but they don’t capture novel behaviors.
Chains evolve, bots adapt, and once-reliable patterns can become crowded strategies overnight.
So I treat backtesting as probabilistic guidance, and I pair it with live DEX analytics that reveal current behavior rather than historical averages.
That blend — historical pattern recognition plus real-time on-chain context — is my practical edge.

Alright, a quick aside (oh, and by the way…)
If you want to start integrating these ideas, begin with a clean checklist: liquidity depth, swap frequency, holder concentration, routing paths, and time-based liquidity changes.
Check the price chart against each line item and ask: would this move survive a large swap?
It sounds obvious, but most traders skip the checklist when they’re excited, and that’s when mistakes happen.
Make the checklist habit and it becomes muscle memory.

Putting It Together With dex screener

Okay, so check this out—tools that surface pool liquidity, swap lists, and holder snapshots all in one place speed up the analysis loop, and I often start there when I’m scanning new tokens.
My instinct said to look for clarity, and dex screener gives it: quick visibility into pool health, recent large swaps, and price/volume trends on a per-pair basis.
Initially I thought I could stitch these views manually, but the time cost made me change my mind, and using a single consolidated view cut decision friction dramatically.
If you integrate that feed into your routine, you’ll notice fewer surprises and better entries, though of course nothing shields you from market-wide shocks.

Interesting. They definitely succeeded in getting prices down.

I see were up over $2 now and above $51, gold right at $4K as well.

Shares are gaining strength, but a long way to go to make up for yesterday. If the metals hold up, up they should fly.

I was thinking last night that was this attack a classic Fall st move, that in the past would have been led by the Scum, or the scum joined in…but they didn’t…the attack is an attempt to break the mkt lower so they can get long. now 4K and 48 are gone……

Or is it to ‘protect’ the acute Silver problem blowing up….

But when I check settlement prices on Crimex, they are running normally…..1 year T,Bills are 3 16/32’s or 3.675 %….Dec 25 to Dec 26 is yielding 4.3 %

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.settlements.html

Shows SLV with a $.40 gap vs. spot. Much worse in AGQ.

The rest of the shares are flat and should be doing better. It is super early though. If it continues for a few more hours, then I suspect today will look like yesterday and they’ll bring silver back down.

Crazy.
