What's Behind SILVER's 37% PLUNGE on Jan 30 2026

Описание: On January 30, 2026, silver crashed 37% in one day—wiping out over $1 billion in leveraged positions and marking the largest single-day drop in recorded history. This video breaks down exactly what happened when President Trump's surprise Fed Chair nomination collided with extreme speculation, margin hikes, and vanishing liquidity.
We analyze how Kevin Warsh's hawkish nomination reversed dovish rate-cut expectations, sent the U.S. dollar spiking, and triggered a cascade of forced liquidations across COMEX silver futures, SLV, and AGQ. Silver had rallied 170% year-to-date and hit $121 per ounce just one day before—but parabolic positioning, thin order books, and algorithmic selling turned a macro shock into a full-blown meltdown.
You'll learn why CME margin hikes forced mass liquidations, how stop-loss orders and algorithms created a death spiral, and what happens when liquidity disappears in leveraged commodity markets. We cover the technical breakdown, institutional losses, and whether this historic silver crash represents a buying opportunity or a warning about the dangers of chasing parabolic rallies with borrowed money.
Key topics: silver crash January 2026, COMEX silver futures liquidation, Kevin Warsh Fed Chair nomination impact, leveraged silver ETF losses, commodity market liquidity crisis, algorithmic trading cascade, CME margin hike effects, and lessons for precious metals investors.
