The CME Lost Control of Silver — $120.56 ATH After 5 Margin Hikes

Описание: If you feel like the silver market no longer makes sense, you’re not imagining it. In just weeks, silver has ripped through multiple resistance levels, survived five consecutive margin hikes, and still exploded to a new all-time high of $120.56. This is no longer normal price discovery—this is what happens when the CME loses control of the paper market.

In this critical market breakdown, we expose how repeated margin hikes—normally used to crush momentum—failed to stop silver’s advance, signaling a structural breakdown in the futures complex. Instead of cooling speculation, these hikes accelerated a paper-to-physical disconnect, forcing shorts into a violent unwind. This was not a rally driven by retail hype—this was a forced repricing event.

We dissect how the CME’s risk controls backfired, why liquidity vanished at the worst possible moment, and how physical demand overwhelmed synthetic supply. While paper contracts were being repriced in real time, physical silver inventories tightened, premiums surged, and delivery stress escalated behind the scenes. The result: an uncontrollable upside move the system was never designed to handle.

This video breaks down the anatomy of silver’s breakout, explains why margin hikes stopped working, and outlines what this loss of control means for price discovery going forward. When the rulebook fails, markets don’t slow down—they reset higher.
