Loading ...Yeah news says close to peace deal then @11:24 .. drone is aimed at Putin’s house?!?!? Zelenski makes a better clown up to no good than a diplomat. Can’t trust anything about that clown and check you pockets before he leaves the room..
An outside down day tape paintjob on silver today …
… they won’t let silver bounce today with the tape painting going on … and maybe we get a correction … as tax deferral traders will be selling in the first week of the New Year … but it won’t last … too many corporates need the physical.
They will be back with a vengeance.
JMHO

They accumulated all that silver for whom?
My guess would be the Pentagon … you need a lot of silver to be a war monger.
That’s if the rumor is true.
Somehow, I doubt it … they are not that smart.

So smart money had to bail out stupid money at the CME.
I wouldn’t be surprised if buyers don’t start looking at these mines after this instead of throwing away good money after bad to these jerks sitting behind computers who see no consequences to their easy money schemes who think they can make up their own rules along the way.

re ukraine……i see the coke head was wearing his best suit……
JPM
Apparently, they accumulated 750 million oz. and covered all their short positions while buying long contracts and taking delivery of 150 million oz. a month in a 5 month period according to the Asian Guy. Almost a year’s worth of supply
The Hunt bros only accumulated 100 million oz. when they were broken.
They’ve positioned themselves as the seller of last resort to industrial buyers. Q1 is going to be interesting to be sure.
Is it possible that JPM and China are colluding?

Russia vows retaliation against alleged drone strike on Putin’s residence, says response is unavoidable
While there is not a great amount of detail on what Putin and Trump discussed over the phone, Russian media are giving a few more lines on what the Kremlin’s foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said.
Ushakov said the Russian side expressed that the claimed attack on Putin’s residence “will not go unanswered,” and that the strike took place “practically immediately after” the talks between Trump and Zelenskyy in the US on Sunday.
He added that the US president was “shocked, literally outraged” over the issue. He went on to say that the two presidents agreed to continue dialogue.
His comments come after Lavrov claimed that Ukraine launched a drone attack on Putin’s residence in the northwestern Novgorod region using 91 long-range strike drones.
Lavrov said Moscow will revise its negotiating position amid ongoing talks for peace in Ukraine due to the attack, but added: “We do not intend to withdraw from the negotiating process with the United States.”

Looks more and more likely this attack is to try and bail out PM share shorts….

Looks like the short day traders are taking profits in silver. If it gets above 72.50 – 73 we may get an acceleration to the upside.

I vote for short term top.
Shares doing a nice job of clawing their way back, even with a weak SM going against them.
“Going to be a volatile week” – probably a good bet.
Captain mentioned March. I mentioned March a couple days ago. It’s the next big delivery month, hopefully the month that Crimex defaults and we get real price discovery.
I’m already looking forward to the Shanghai open. 🙂
First line of support
Metals have reached the first of several moving averages for support.
Markets very often top or bottom around major holidays. Our big question is it a short, intermediate or long term top.
This week will probably be extremely volatile. It sure started out that way.

A simple overbought/oversold indicator, can be created by meauring the Diff between the two Lines on the MACD indicator…..that shows silver on a monthly basis, more O/B than at the top of the Hunt mkt in the 80’s
GDX just trades above opening price…..is this smash to try and get out of share shorts as well……

Right … that wasn’t coincidence the Zelinski dog and pony show was dragged out again over the weekend.
Pathetic liars … the whole shebang
News
News of getting closer to a peace deal with Ukraine that is unless the neocons don’t sabotage it likely did affect gold today.
Maddog @ 10:37
I forgot to say it looks like many of the gamblers migrated over to platinum and palladium based on the drubbings they are taking today. (I guess they thought silver had moved to much)
Suits me fine.
Just keep the physical buyers coming into gold and silver.
Please and thank you

Yeah that’s right! I could use a nice candy bar! 🙂

How come we don’t run into these guys?.
Maddog @ 10:37
If there is a God … this should washout as a breakout test … as Comex open interest (OI) is still under 500k and it should get pounded back down with this selling.
And for silver it’s the same story … OI is low and should see a lot of liquidation today.

The price managers will have a lot tougher time trying to pull off this crap next time as well.
March is the next big delivery month and it will come fast.
If January and February see high delivery levels too … which is very possible considering the rush to secure physical by corporate interests in this challenged delivery environment … The Ides of March could be a replay for the cabal.
I see the shares doing very well in the first quarter (half?) all things considered … especially value-oriented silver stocks … many will be surprised. (JMHO)
Cheers all
These vids crack me up. Most Americans are oblivious.

Yes I head that too. My magic phone says…
Yes, recent financial news and market analysis from late 2025 indicate a significant shift where JP Morgan (JPM) reportedly closed massive short positions and acquired roughly 750 million ounces of physical silver, making them the world’s largest private holder, a move contrasting with their historical role in suppressing prices and sparking speculation about future price surge
