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

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 Squeeze Looms: Would Delivery Shock Hits?

Silver is flashing extreme stress signals. The metal has logged four straight weeks of 10%+ gains. Silver is now up 154% YTD, prompting UBS to warn that recent moves in precious and industrial metals look “out of control.” COMEX has already seen 40 million ounces stand for delivery in January—far above the typical 1–2 million. With the March delivery month approaching, demand could reach 70–80 million ounces, threatening to drain much of COMEX’s 110–120 million ounces of registered inventory. With delivery demand spiking, is silver heading into a true physical squeeze?
