🚨 BREAKOUT CONFIRMED
Silver just hit a new all-time high — $51.47/oz.
This isn’t a rally. It’s a rupture in the system. Mini thread with a big meaning 💥🧵
#Silver #SilverSqueeze
2️⃣
For years they said: “Too heavy to move, too cheap to care.”
Now silver is proving why real money always finds its way out when paper markets run dry. 💥
3️⃣
LBMA spot > COMEX futures.
Borrow rates surging.
Physical premiums exploding.
They’re not “trading silver” anymore — they’re fighting for it. ⚔️
4️⃣
+6.2% in 5 days.
+2.7% today.
But this isn’t just price action — this is the repricing of reality.
5️⃣
Stackers never knelt.
They just waited.
Now the world sees what real scarcity looks like.

🧵 1/
🚨 Silver just broke $50.
Now at $51.40/oz, up +2.2% today — and smashing through every technical ceiling in sight.
This isn’t a rally anymore.
It’s a structural break.
#Silver #SilverSqueeze
2/ LBMA clearing data for August showed +26% jump in silver transfers — fewer transactions, but 43% bigger average size.
That’s not “trading.”
That’s metal moving across oceans.
COMEX → London.
Spot market’s starving for real ounces.
3/ When it takes 18 years to open a new gold mine in Australia, imagine how long it takes to restart a silver supply chain already running dry.
Demand can overwhelm supply fast.

Thread 🧵 | Something big is brewing behind the scenes
1) Nomura: reports $150B in forced selling on Oct 10.
Funds were liquidating, margin calls flying. Somebody had to raise cash — fast.
#Markets #BlackMonday
2) Meanwhile, Trump posts on Truth Social:
“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine.”
When politicians start saying don’t worry, it usually means someone is definitely worried.
3) Within an hour, Bloomberg reports:
“China declined a US phone call after export control announcement.”
Diplomacy freezes. Communication breaks down
🧵 | Why London “needs” COMEX silver
1️⃣
Let’s be clear:
London doesn’t need silver to trade it —
it needs silver to survive its own lie.
#Silver #LBMA #COMEX
2️⃣
LBMA runs on “unallocated” paper promises.
No one actually owns metal — they own a claim on a claim on a claim.
When someone dares to ask for real bars, the vaults suddenly “need a few days.”
Cute.
3️⃣
So what happens when those requests pile up?
They call New York.
COMEX “lends” metal — not sells it — so London can pretend it’s solvent for another week.
Thread 🧵 | David Jensen: The “London Promissory Note Market”
1️⃣
Mining executive & metals analyst David Jensen (@JensenStrategic) says it plainly:
The LBMA isn’t a bullion market — it’s a promissory note factory.
Unallocated paper claims there are orders of magnitude larger than COMEX futures.
#Silver #Gold #LBMA
2️⃣
LBMA’s spot market trades over 300 million oz of silver daily, equal to 3 billion oz turnover —
in a world that mines ~850M oz per year.
That’s not “liquidity.”
That’s leverage on promises.
Meanwhile, COMEX averages just 100–200k contracts daily (~0.5–1B oz).
3️⃣
For gold, London holds ~385M oz in paper claims vs 280M oz in vaults, much of it locked in ETFs or leases.
Translation: the “physical” market is a spreadsheet illusion.
COMEX may set headlines,
but London sets the price — on paper.
🚨 LONDON SQUEEZE: $50+ silver, spot > futures, shorts bleeding. Physical rules the game. #SilverSqueeze
1/ London just flipped the board. Spot in London trades above NY futures, liquidity is vanishing, and shorts are paying eye-watering borrow to survive the roll. This is not a drill.
2/ Overnight borrowing costs have spiked to triple-digit annualized in the tightest moments. That’s what true scarcity smells like: pay up or get out.
3/ Traders are literally booking transatlantic cargo slots. Estimated 15–30 million oz are being lined up to fly/sail from New York to London to capture the premium. Physical arbitrage in real time.
