***SLV ETF ALERT***
Looks like someone is in panic mode to borrow shares in SLV. The borrowing fee nearly doubled in the last hour of trading. NEW HIGH on the year.
Please repost and help me get this information out to more people.
The plot thickens. Over 5.5 million silver ounces were delivered out of the COMEX registered category this week. Please retweet.....These are the bars that back the futures contracts.
**Silver Alert**
Something strange just happened with the SLV ETF.
The shares available to borrow just collapsed.
This started to occur as SLV shares outstanding went to the lowest level of 2023, last week.
In July there were as much as 8 million shares to borrow each day. In

SLV just added 37 million shares to the trust today. 1150 metric tons of buying in 1 day. This is huge!!! This is equivalent to 25% of all the registered inventory backing the silver Comex future contracts. Please retweet!!!!

Someone or some entity(s) continues to short a truly amazing amount of shares in the SLV ETF. New high for the year as 12,599,986 shares were shorted just today. This is nearly $288 million dollars in one day.
1/Something structural is happening to the Futures markets in Precious Metals. Both the Comex and Nymex are seeing a collapse in open interest. My premise has been, the introduction of Basel 3, leverage (unallocated) is being moved to exchanges and away from bank’s balance sheet
***GLD ETF Alert***
New 2024 high for the borrowing fee rate for the GLD ETF. Fee has just tripled.
Hearing that a new large buyer, not China or India, maybe forming which could be very exciting for physical precious metals moving forward. Will comment when more information
Almost 6% of the entire Silver inventories in the registered category were transferred out. More than 1.7 million ounces. Only 28.1 million ounces left backing all the Comex silver futures contracts.
tick tock, tick tock
Silver's backwardation continues to build more negative. Funds may be pressing shorts at the same time physical demand for 1000 oz bars are picking up....perfect storm brewing......

Something is happening in the Silver market. EFP pulled back sharply yesterday, then went up 50% this morning. Stay tuned. Will have a thread on this subject shortly.
We may be seeing the beginnings of a big short squeeze in silver. The cost to borrow SLV has skyrocketed over the last 2 weeks.
I went through much of this on the spaces event with

These are normally bullish patterns that resolve in higher prices.

Another wave of SLV shares being shorted today. Second highest volume for 2024 next to yesterday as 11,303,038 shares were shorted just today. This is nearly $278 million dollars in one day.
*** Silver COT Report Alert***
The Commitment of Traders report just saw managed money go short Silver. How important is this?
Over the last 2 years these readings have correlated with price bottoms. See the highlighted upper price chart and the lower disaggregated report chart
This has to be the most unloved rally in the precious metals. Many did not believe in October and continue to expect a big pullback even today.
Guess what happens when gold moves up another $50.....every short futures contract will be underwater.
Completed my analysis into Basel 3 and understood how London banks are able to remove the 85% required stable funding ratio for gold? The piece was too lengthy for a thread. Please retweet, this will clarify the implications of Basel 3 for gold.
1.1 million Silver ounces left Comex registered category today. There is $851 million left in Silver at the Comex.

Unbelievable, the third highest short volume of the year along with what maybe the highest aggregate short volume ratio during silver's recent explosive move.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Interesting development on GLD ETF. Massive increase in short volume came in on Friday December 1, 2023. (more than 4x normal volume). Gold's all time high was hit Sunday night with a massive reversal that ensued.
Is it normal to build a massive short position on an asset that
Very strange events happening with GLD ETF. Since the events in Israel began, GLD has seen outflows of over 566,108 ounces. This is over $1 Billion in assets. While the Gold price has moved up $130 per ounce.

What has sparked the rally in the Precious Metals today. Obviously it is the story about China reopening. But here is the reason. Big silver traders in Shanghai have been aggressively shorting the metal recently. The move that started this morning, started in Asia.

I will now compare the 2008 chart and 2023 chart side by side. Look at the similarity or fractal between these charts. I also inserted silver’s chart from 2008-2011 to show the potential move that may be coming if the fractal or repeating pattern comes to fruition.
Seeing premiums rising for silver products today, not for the reason one would expect. Hearing that large players maybe short a lot of product at the moment. Concerns mounting to make good delivery within the 28 day rule. This creates risks for both the dealer and the customer.
1/21 I have been asked by many people if there are any LBMA vault custodian or subcustodian concerns. Upon investigation this is what I found. Auditing responsibilities of LBMA vaults in London may surprise you.
*****BIG NEWS******
US Mint just announced they are doubling allocation/production of Silver American Eagle 1 oz Coins through November.
Premiums have crashed. We are offering $4.25 over spot/oz for 1 oz Silver Eagles by the box. 10,000 or more coins are at $3.95 over spot/oz
massive Platinum withdrawal from Comex registered inventories. This looks like an industrial user by the fact it was coming from JP Morgan. Remember the article I mentioned about a possible force majeure coming from a large German refiner.
Big day for silver. The highlighted arrows are positive divergences between price and relative strength. We saw this pattern before in Feb/March 2023 and again recently in May/June. In both instances, this set up for an explosive break of the down trend line in blue. Can Silver

Silver investors should read the lead story from the Silver Institute newsletter. Especially the highlighted section. This is known in the industry as fundamental analysis.

The short selling continues. Another 5.6 million shares shorted today. 3rd highest short volume of 2024. In addition SLV shares outstanding declines by 2.85 million shares or net 2.6 million ounces has left the building.
Who is shorting all these shares? Enquiring
Over 1.5 million Silver ounces leaves the Eligible Category. These are full Cargo Container size movements. Foreign demand does not appear to be slowing down.
Could be one of the most important charts for silver this year. Commitment of Traders report just released as of March 7. Speculators went net short 3 days before the banking crisis. In fact the only time their short position was larger was at the bottom last September. see
For those who are long SLV in a margin account, move your positions to a cash account. The broker/dealer can would no longer be able to loan your shares.
This would reduce shares available to borrow, as well as, increase the cost to borrow. Shorts may be forced to cover.

Why would a prominent precious metals research firm, who has been the most outspoken about the hundreds of millions of silver ounces in a SUPPLY DEFICIT for the last 3 years, now call for silver prices to drop?
