WARNING: Is Silver About to Flush? $5B Forced Selling Hits Silver

Описание: January 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most technically dangerous periods for silver in years.

Silver is trading near $73 per ounce, but beneath the surface, two powerful mechanical forces are converging that could determine whether silver stabilizes — or faces further downside over the next two weeks.

First, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange raised silver margin requirements twice in one week, lifting initial margins on March 2026 contracts by nearly 50%. That alone forces leveraged traders to either post more capital or liquidate positions.

Second, starting January 9, the Bloomberg Commodity Index begins its annual rebalancing. According to TD Securities, passive funds tracking the index may be forced to sell up to 13% of total COMEX silver open interest — potentially more than $5 billion in futures — regardless of price.

This is not bearish speculation.
This is mechanical, rule-based selling.

In this video, we break down:
Why CME margin hikes trigger forced liquidation
How index rebalancing creates predictable selling windows
Why January liquidity conditions amplify price moves
The real risk levels between $70, $65, and $60 silver
Why physical silver premiums in Asia remain elevated
How China’s new silver export licensing changes the supply picture
The difference between paper selling pressure and physical demand
What history tells us from 2011 and 1980 margin-driven crashes

Despite near-term pressure, the fundamental backdrop remains tight:
Industrial demand continues to hit records
Solar, EVs, and data centers consume more silver each year
The Silver Institute projects long-term deficits
China controls a majority of global refined silver processing
Physical premiums persist even as futures correct

This is not about panic.
It’s about understanding how markets behave under structural stress — and why forced selling often creates opportunity once it exhausts itself.

If you’re holding leveraged positions, physical silver, mining stocks, or sitting in cash waiting for an entry, the next 11 days matter.

📌 Watch closely through January 14, when index rebalancing completes.
