Just looked back at what happened on January 26 - the silver price absolutely exploded that day. London silver jumped to $113.48/ounce, up over 8% in one session, and Shanghai silver futures went even crazier with a 9.33% daily gain. The whole thing was driven by three things hitting at once: Fed rate cut expectations bringing down real yields, a massive 5200-ton global supply-demand gap widening even more, and speculative money pouring in like crazy. I saw CFTC data showing non-commercial net longs up 150% just that month, and the iShares Silver ETF added 1200 tons in a single day. The futures market went bonkers too - volume up 40%, open interest climbing 50k contracts. Even the spot market had 60% higher trading. But honestly, looking at the technicals, that january 26 move was excessive. RSI was deep in overbought territory, fund premiums hit crazy levels (over 50% above net value), and regulators started tightening position limits the next day. The whole thing felt like a classic bubble setup. For anyone thinking about chasing it now, I'd say watch more, trade less - wait for this silver price volatility to settle down before making any real moves.
