SILVER CRASHED 31%... THEN CME POURS Gasoline AGAIN!

Shernice軒嬣 2000

CME Group is increasing margins on COMEX On 2 Feb, after market closes.

No escape if you're leveraged long overnight. Expects Forced sells snowball lower.

$iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$

Silver (~$85/oz):

• 5,000 oz contract ≈ $425k

• Margin: 11% → 15%

• Leverage: 9.1x → 6.7x

• Need +~$17k per contract or get liquidated

👉 That’s enough to buy ~200 oz physical silver outright

Gold (~$4,880/oz):

• 100 oz contract ≈ $488k

• Margin: 6% → 8% (+33%)

• Leverage: 16.7x → 12.5x

• Need +~$9.8k per contract

📉 Monday gap-down trap:

Friday’s silver crash (~25–31%) + higher margins = instant losses at open.

Intraday margin calls + new requirements = forced liquidation.

• 1 silver contract → +$17k top-up + gap loss = wipeout risk

• 5 contracts → +$85k (could’ve bought spot instead)

🔥 Platinum +25%, Palladium +14% — whole complex deleveraging.

CME protecting clearing firms after volatility explosion… specs getting squeezed.

🤔 Question now: dump today or wire more cash Monday?

Dead-cat bounce… or forced-sell cascade?

Silver -14%! Continue to Short To $60?

Precious metals sold off sharply in Asia. Spot silver plunged 14%, breaking below $76/oz, while gold slid over 2.5%, falling through $4,840/oz. Easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and U.S.–China relations, combined with resilient U.S. economic data, reduced safe-haven demand. How do you view Silver's plunge? Would it decline further to $60 or $50? Have you taken profits? What price would be adding chance?
