Quote: All the afternoon action leaves us firmly in the ~$67 zone today. Silver bursted into the $68 zone today, just out of the blue, before settling into $67 zone before the close. For a second there I thought the war had come to an end, but I checked the news and nothing explained the sudden move. But the move broke just above Friday's peak by about 0.30 cents, you have to look closely to call it a higher peak, but we'll see what happens overnight. Meanwhile Gold has barely moved. And the Dollar is still up. Gold actually has been drifting slightly lower since Friday. So Silver is going rogue? Flying solo now? We're living in strange times.  But don't worry AI will save us, the NASDAQ rallied and hit new highs yesterday, we'll all be rich.. Just like the good old DOT COM days in the early 2000's. And we know how that ended. Midterm elections are 6 weeks away, less than 29 trading days left. If you think the markets are strange now, wait until you see how bizarre they get between November 5th and January.

Once again, overnight the Dollar spiked higher, this time though it kinda sorta went parabolic and just entered "July territory". What is July territory? That's when the Dollar was at 2026 Highs, and Gold and Silver were at 2026 Lows. The Dollar just cracked that Zone last night. There's always been a correlation between the Dollar and Metal's so when the Dollar is Up and Metal's are also Up you have to ask which of them is Lying

"The night crew" reminds me of when I thought the tooth ferry was the one actually leaving the cash under the pillow at night and not my poor hard working parent's.  No,no but seriously, I hate to break it to you but it's the Dollar and interest rates that decided that Silver needs to be not at $65 but probably at $60-$62 if my math is right. It's just that Mr. Market or The Dukes you know the Dukes are the 2 old men in that movie Trading Places about trading commodities... Well the Dukes decided they were going to dump Silver on the general public in the high $60's for as long as possible before letting it go down to the low $60's because the Dukes never lose.

Okay so in my own words then, The silver market is easier to manipulate than gold because its a smaller market and has lower liquidity. Smaller trading volume means lower amount of capital or futures positions can trigger larger price swings. It is harder to move the gold market because its market size and trading liquidity are significantly larger than silver's.. Gold can absorb large capital flows with much less price impact. Additionally, gold's demand is heavily anchored by Central Banks and institutional reserve holders, whereas silver's smaller market and high industrial exposure leave it far more vulnerable to speculative retail swings.  And so I always say Watch Gold (and US Dollar) to see where Silver is or should be going.

Quote: No hate. You always give it to me straight! Quote: Good points. Thanks Jbuck  Much respect to you as always  It's just this is the crummy hand that we're being dealt right now unfortunately. And you know me by now, I call it when I see it. Or if something doesn't look right. Do I think metal's are going higher eventually, yes. And so do many others. Why? Because the current U.S. and global economic system is on it's way down the toilet. But it's not happening today. So with everything that's happening right now, a pull back to $62 for Silver and $4250 for Gold would be the next buying opportunity and a place to wait until the October 28 Fed FOMC meeting.
