Is Silver Ready To Hit $50 - 1/29/2026: Will It Hit $130? - Previous Milestones In First Post

According to APMEX:

Paper trading is taking out the leveraged buyers. This week will be a wild volatility ride. China has an export ban going on the books Jan 1, 2026. Will be a quite a rollercoaster ride, but the industrial users still need actual delivery.

Is $70 the floor? Dipping below $71 now.

A correction or a struggle between players and the industries that actually need silver?

Started a silver etf long position 8.6% back of last Fridays close. Tried buying physical but it is annoyingly difficult, the premiums are sky high and I don't want to break my back loading it onto my truck when who knows what people with what intentions are watching me. Paper market is it for me. At least for now. I don't expect to eat or pay my bills using silver.

i don't think the bankers (and other various big players) were enjoying the squeeze or $80 silver. this seems more than a bit of a correction. will retail silver prices reflect that drop? doubtful. now we have to re-cheer for $80 on the way back up toward $90. it'll still get there. they haven't done anything except delay the inevitable, just like what they've been doing since at least 2008. they probably have dozens and dozens of ways throughout their schemes & scams to monkeyhammer & manipulate the prices while they make millions and billions of dollars instantly and we have just one way to approach our metal 'investment': buy and hold for as long as possible as our real money ekes-out small, incremental gains... and wait, and wait, and wait... weeks and weeks and months...




heh... you cheeky devil!... I thought the same thing. I scrolled back on a chart to see when it was that silver crossed the $70-mark. it's only been several days.

still, look at where silver was at the beginning of the year. even if silver ends 2025 at $70, or even $60, that is still a hefty gain for the year. patience pays. the 'volatility' is going to be unrelenting.

speaking of that, while we're waiting for $80 again, on the way back up toward $90, a word of caution- a public service announcement, if you like- from your friends at First Pink Savings re: the preponderance of silver videos on you tube, most notably the 'asian guy' videos. they've exploded in number. you know the ones, I think it's been mentioned in another thread, or maybe it was here several pages ago. silver is really being pumped hard, which is concerning. I don't watch them. I don't get my silver info from those videos nor do I make decisions based on what I heard from those videos, or any others. they make a lot of bold claims that are simply not true. you can tell by the graphics on the thumbnail, even if you don't immediately see the A.I.-generated asian guy's face, that the video is going to present you with the A.I-generated asian guy with the A.I.-generated caucasian-sounding narrator not synched-up to the A.I.-generated asian guy's mouth movements, along with the crappy A.I.-generated background 'art', which somewhat resembles expressionist/impressionist-era artwork. if you listen to that voice long enough, and carefully examine that art & those pictures, you'll see through it. it's propaganda garbage, designed to lull you into a false sense of security & 'sound advice'. they might spit out some facts, but they'll just as quickly lead you out into the weeds & bramble. the non-chalance, the easy-going attitude-- it's all fake. it's also reminiscent of early covid-era presidential declarations like 'we're not worried' or 'it's contained'. there are literally dozens and dozens- or even hundreds at this point- of channels with differing names pushing the same format. that's not you tube looking to empower you with knowledge; it's an all-out push to manipulate your thinking. you're not being given insider info; you're being targeted for manipulation. one claimed recently that JP Morgan had collapsed. many of them claim 'something just broke' in the silver market. none of those claims are true. don't bother with those videos or channels. you're much better off reading elsewhere instead of being spoon-fed false direction on you tube. that's you tube preying on lazy viewers with poor critical thinking skills. heck, you're actually better off right here! I get more from members' single comments than from a dozen 'asian guy' videos (not that I've watched a dozen of them... it only took a few several-minute-long views/listens to peg those frauds). you tube is mostly junk food for the eyes and mind. it's visual pap and it's bad for you. not entirely, just mostly. don't be fooled.

sorry for the babble, but this one has been welling-up for weeks. I thought it prudent to kick my Two Cents in.

back to our silver rollercoaster ride. so china's gonna shut the door on silver exports january 2, or similar... hmm, just in time for the weekend. curious timing. why don't they just shut that door immediately, like today? nothing to see here, move along, units.

$90 silver is coming whether anyone likes it or not.

Youtube is for two things: music and propaganda, so if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing.
