Silver today experienced an extreme market move: the initial rally was fierce, with prices soaring over 5% at one point, approaching the historic level of $84 per ounce, and investor sentiment was high. But the good times didn't last long—then came a dramatic reversal, with prices plunging and breaking through the $80 level multiple times, dropping as low as $73, with intraday volatility reaching an astonishing 13%.

This is a classic long and short trap.

Amidst this turbulent market, an important signal emerged: a certain globally systemic important bank is suspected to have faced a liquidation risk in silver short positions. It is rumored that the Federal Reserve subsequently launched an emergency liquidity injection, amounting to as much as $34 billion.

The sharp fluctuations in the commodities market often reflect deep-seated pressures within the financial system. Behind this "bungee jump" in silver, there may be more complex risk transfers and liquidity battles at play.

Silver's move this time is truly incredible; I was still dreaming this morning when I was suddenly awakened. It's the same old trick again—banks collapsing and the Federal Reserve stepping in to rescue the market. We've seen this script too many times. A 13% fluctuation is outrageous; retail investors simply don't have enough time to react.

Silver's 13% fluctuation is really a live demonstration of how to cut leeks; both bulls and bears have been harvested once. The bank's liquidation of 34 billion in liquidity injection, the story behind it is not simple. Those chasing the high are all trapped; I'm just here eating popcorn on the side. This wave of operation is a standard shakeout tactic; continue to observe tomorrow. Damn, the speed of this price plunge is unbearable for my heart. Is big capital again dumping the market? Feels like this White Bank situation is becoming more and more bizarre. A 13% intraday fluctuation, ordinary people playing this is really gambling. Emergency injection of 34 billion USD, feels like a financial crisis is about to happen. I’d better just be honest and go to work; this market is too intense. Long and short both killed, is that all? I’ve been used to being harvested long ago. Could the bank liquidation incident trigger a chain reaction? Looking at this operation logic, playing with rich people is indeed unaffordable.

It's the same old trick again, those who bought at high prices must be crying. The bank defaults and the Federal Reserve steps in to rescue, where's the promised market freedom? This wave of market movement is outrageous, a 13% fluctuation is playing with our hearts. Spending 34 billion still only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Wait, is there an even bigger trap behind all this?

This move in silver is incredible; those who bought at high levels got caught, and the $34 billion infusion indicates it's a big deal. Bank liquidations are nothing new to retail investors; it's just unknown who will foot the bill this time. A 13% fluctuation—this isn't just a market move, it's a slaughter. The Federal Reserve's move seems a bit rushed; it feels like there's more to come. Bull and bear traps are routine; the key is who can survive until the end.
