�� U.S. Banks Now NET LONG COMEX Silver Futures — THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY ��

In silver, 5 U.S. banks reduced their net short position from 6,797 contracts -- and are now NET LONG silver for the first time in history...by 773 COMEX contracts!

[bambino]

Has the END GAME Actually Arrived for #Silver???��

��For the first time ever, the 5 major US bullion banks have flipped NET LONG silver COMEX futures contracts!��

From around 20,000 contracts net short, the US bullion banks have reduced their total silver short contracts to 17,838, vs 18,611 silver long contracts, a NET 773 contracts LONG! ⚡️

��Have the major 5 US bullion banks ALSO closed out their $TRILLIONS in silver short positions in the derivatives market because they know the final END GAME has arrived, and they are positioning themselves for the coming US dollar collapse? ��

��OR have the US bullion banks closed out their short COMEX futures silver book simply to protect what is left of their physical silver inventory in COMEX vaults as COMEX longs continue to stand for delivery (December has already seen the highest amount of silver longs stand for delivery in the month of December EVER!)? ��

$80 SHFE Silver. �� A $8.13 spread vs COMEX

This isn’t a breakout.
This is a statement.

Chinese SHFE #silver at $80.
COMEX at $71.87.
Spread: $8.13 never seen in history.
That’s not volatility.
That’s paper losing control of physical pricing.

Banksters are cooked.
An $8 spread is nearly impossible to manage.
A true Christmas gift from China. ��

If you own silver this is a MUST read!!!

Here's what nobody is telling you about January 1st, 2026.

Starting New Year's Day, #China is restricting physical silver exports.

Not slowing them. Not taxing them. Restricting them.
And the price action we're seeing right now? It's not a glitch. It's a warning shot.

Let me walk you through what's happening in REAL TIME —because this might be the biggest structural shift in precious metals markets we've seen in a generation.

THE IMPOSSIBLE PRICE GAP:

����Today, on Christmas Eve, Shanghai closed physical silver at $77.89 per ounce.

At the exact same time, #COMEX—the Western "benchmark" for silver—was trading at $72.23.
That's a $5.66 spread.

To put that in perspective: historically, this gap rarely exceeds $2. Why? Because arbitrage traders instantly exploit any difference. Buy cheap in one market, sell high in another. Rinse, repeat. The gap closes in minutes.

But when a $5.66 premium persists for hours—on a half-day trading session no less—something fundamental has broken.

The arbitrage machine is DEAD.

And it's DEAD because the physical metal cannot move the way it used to.

WHAT SHANGHAI'S PRICE ACTUALLY MEANS:

Let me clarify something crucial: China isn't "overpaying" for silver.

Shanghai's $78/oz price reflects what silver costs when you need actual metal delivered to your vault—not a contract, not a promise, not a cash settlement.

The #Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) operates on physical delivery. When Chinese manufacturers need silver for solar panels, EVs, or electronics, they pay Shanghai prices.

That's REAL demand meeting REAL supply.
COMEX? That's a different animal entirely.

COMEX futures are:

��Heavily leveraged paper contracts.
��Mostly cash-settled.
��Rarely result in actual delivery.

When you see $72/oz on COMEX, you're looking at the price of a derivative—a bet on silver's price, not the actual metal itself.

Shanghai's premium isn't irrational exuberance. It's the cost of scarcity.

THE VAULT EXODUS IS ACCELERATING:

While markets were winding down for the holidays, the metal was moving out.

COMEX registered (available for delivery) silver inventories just posted sharp declines:

��Asahi: -1.42 million oz.
��JPMorgan: -597,993 oz.
��CNT Depository: -228,780 oz.

Total registered standing: 127.2 million ounces.

For context, global silver demand runs approximately 1.2 billion ounces annually. COMEX registered represents roughly 10% of annual consumption.

And it's draining.

This isn't volatility. This isn't seasonal adjustment.

This is what a modern bank run looks like—except instead of people lining up outside branches, you've got forklifts loading pallets onto trucks headed East.

WHY JANUARY 1ST CHANGES EVERYTHING:

China's export restrictions don't happen in a vacuum.

China is simultaneously:

��The world's largest silver consumer (industrial demand).
��A major silver producer and refiner.
��Sitting on depleting domestic vault inventories.

By restricting exports starting January 1st, China is essentially declaring: "Whatever silver we produce or refine stays here."

The immediate effect? Western markets lose a critical supply valve.

For years, when COMEX or LBMA needed physical delivery, metal could be sourced globally—including from China.

That safety net is about to disappear.

And the market is pricing this in right now.

THE PREMIUM TELLS THE REAL STORY:

Today, the physical premium in Shanghai exploded to over $8/oz above COMEX.

Eight. Dollars.

This isn't noise. This is structural.

Premiums spike when physical buyers are willing to pay whatever it takes to secure deliverable metal.

It Signals:

��Supply tightness → Vaults are running low.
��Delivery urgency → Industrial users can't wait.
��Import barriers → Getting metal into China is harder/slower.
��Geopolitical hedging → Smart money wants tangible assets.

When physical markets consistently trade above paper markets, history shows one outcome:

Paper prices eventually chase physical reality higher.

Every major commodity breakout starts this way—not with hype, but with fundamental supply-demand dislocations that paper markets can't suppress anymore.

EAST VS. WEST: TWO DIFFERENT MARKETS

Here's the bottom line...

The West prices silver on leverage.

The East prices silver on scarcity.

COMEX reflects speculation, hedging, and paper supply.

It's a derivatives market masquerading as a pricing mechanism. In my view, a SCAM.

Shanghai reflects REAL industrial demand, vault constraints, and physical delivery.

And right now, the gap between these two realities is screaming one message.

Physical silver is separating from paper silver.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:

If you're holding physical silver, understand what's happening:

The metal you own is being repriced in real-time.

Global supply chains are fragmenting.

The "infinite paper supply" narrative is colliding with finite physical inventory.

If you're holding paper contracts, ETFs, or unallocated positions—you might want to ask yourself what you actually own when settlement time comes.

Because when Shanghai is paying $78 and #COMEX is printing $72, one of these prices is outright LYING.

And it's not the one backed by forklifts moving 1,000-ounce bars out of vaults.

THE BREAKOUT IS STARTING:

This isn't the end of silver's move.

This is how breakouts begin.

Not with headlines. Not with retail FOMO.

With structural breaks in the plumbing of global markets.

With premiums that shouldn't exist. With vault inventories that can't be replaced.

China's export restrictions go live in 8 days.

The market is already reacting.

The question isn't whether silver is going higher.

The question is whether you're positioned for what happens when paper markets finally admit what physical markets already know:

There isn't enough metal to go around.

Know what you hold.

�� Silver isn't expensive at $78. It's scarce.

Triple digit #silver is not only IMMINENT, but INEVITABLE.

COOKED��- The LBMA & COMEX are now TRAPPED as Silver SOARS Past $80/oz in China!��

These are what the bullion banks’ options look like to us-

��Banksters’ Option 1:

⚡️Attack silver futures with 2 billion+ oz of paper silver as soon as Globex trading resumes, & attempt to keep Western silver prices capped below $75/oz.⚡️

��Result: CARTEL ABILITY TO MANIPULATE SILVER PRICES ENDS as global funds, central banks, brokerages, and wholesalers accelerate shift away from using London Fix and COMEX close as silver settlement prices.
��LBMA & COMEX whither & die a death of IRRELEVANCE-as the world shifts to using Shanghai’s markets for PHYSICAL SILVER PRICE DISCOVERY.

��Banksters’ Option 2:
Allow silver to gap up $10/oz at the Globex open, to meet China’s silver price discovery.

⚡️⚡️⚡️$500 TRILLION in PM OTC derivatives & swaps IMMEDIATELY DETONATE 17 European bullion banks - off balance sheet reserves, triggering a GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE THAT EVENTUALLY ENDS THE NWO FINANCIAL SYSTEM. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Take your pick boys.
��Option 1: GAME OVER, SILVER WINS.

��Option 2: GAME OVER, BANKSTERS LOSE, FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON.

The Banksters’ END GAME Has Arrived.

Silver has placed the Banksters in ��CHECKMATE��ladies and gentlemen!!!

�� Are the Banks About to Close? What You Need to Know About December 26, 2025

There is growing chatter that banks may not open tomorrow December 26 and the reason has nothing to do with the holidays. Many insiders believe the real cause is tied to an unfolding crisis in the silver market that is spiraling out of control. While mainstream news remains silent, behind the scenes it appears that multiple banks are facing a physical silver shortage they cannot cover.

Eight major financial institutions are reportedly sitting on $891 billion in paper silver shorts. To stay afloat they would need to buy approximately 400 billion ounces of physical silver. That is impossible. Why? Because the total global supply available is estimated to be under 460 million ounces. There is not enough silver on Earth to fulfill these contracts.

This is why many believe the banking system is being cornered and forced to either default or shut down temporarily. But if banks do close tomorrow it will not be publicly blamed on silver. Expect a cover story. They might cite a cyberattack a national security threat or a technical update. These are often used to mask systemic problems and maintain public calm.

If the banks do not close tomorrow that does not mean the crisis is over. It simply means the powers behind the scenes are buying more time. But the damage is already done. The silver market has entered a phase where paper manipulation can no longer suppress true value. Physical silver is being drained at record speed and premiums are rising worldwide.

Those holding silver understand its real energy and spiritual value. Fiat currency is collapsing. When it all flips people will no longer ask what silver is worth in dollars. They will ask what a dollar is worth in silver. That moment is coming fast.

Regardless of what happens tomorrow stay grounded. Trust your instincts. If you see a sudden wave of ATM outages or payment failures do not panic. This may be part of the global reset to transition into a new financial system that honors truth energy and value backed by real assets.

Keep your silver close and your discernment closer. We are moving through the storm into something far greater.

$75. I think we skipped a few beats. The dollar has ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac arrest next.

LINES ARE FORMING
The Great Reset in Action

Japanese citizens are increasingly lining up to purchase physical silver and gold as confidence in fiat currency continues to erode amid the unfolding Great Reset.

With precious metals hitting record highs, individuals are seeking tangible stores of value to protect themselves from:

Monetary debasement
Centralized economic restructuring Mounting global uncertainty.


I just bought some Eagles this morning. $83.75 ea. I started stacking when spot was $11 and you could buy them for $16ea.

Silver cracked $79 today but closed at 88.77. Still a big jump in one day.

How do you “blow up” the world’s entire corrupt financial system?

The “City of London” is no longer the cabal capital of the world’s financial system.

If you are following the SILVER price, it’s telling you that everything has changed.

There are those who thought this could never happen.
They are the same people, who are saying, “nothing is happening” and they also have no clue that everything has changed.

And if you think that Wall Street, will forever remain the cabal “center” of the world’s stock markets, you are mistaken.

A “new” market is opening in Texas and it will transform markets.

Decentralization.

Competition.

Two important safeguards, that are ALREADY being implemented.

Shanghai is competing with London and New York, for one of the most “valuable” and “leveraged” commodities on the planet.

SILVER.

The massive “leveraged paper” SILVER positions are being obliterated.

Derivatives.

They are blowing up the entire system.

Remember this term:

SYSTEMIC RISK.

This is the WEAPON being used to bring down the entire corrupt system.

“A significant portion of the derivatives market operates “outside of the public view.” Most derivatives are traded over-the-counter (OTC) as “private” deals between two parties, rather than on “public exchanges” like the New York Stock Exchange. These OTC contracts are “not publicly traded,” so no market price is available to validate their “theoretical valuation,” making it difficult to assess their true risk and exposure. This “lack of transparency” is a major challenge, as the pricing of OTC derivatives depends heavily on the inputs used, and their results can vary significantly based on assumptions. While exchange-traded derivatives (ETD) offer transparency and real-time pricing, the OTC market remains dominant and “largely unregulated,” contributing to concerns about “systemic risk.”

This UNREGULATED, PRIVATE market in SILVER is based on THEORETICAL VALUATION.

This GAME has been going on for a long time.
A corrupt manipulation of the entire system.

But then some huge things happened.
One after the other.

1) The leaders allied with Trump to destroy the system, began adding massive SILVER purchases, to go along with their massive GOLD purchases through their central banks.
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and India.

2) Trump placed SILVER as a “critical mineral.” That made SILVER a strategic industrial commodity. That prioritized domestic mining production and enabled stockpiling.

3) JPM began dumping ALL of their short positions and for the first time in their history, went fully long on SILVER. As the largest holder of “physical SILVER” in the world (750 million ounces), they are no longer putting a ceiling on the price of SILVER.

4) JPM and other traders started demanding “physical delivery” on the COMEX, instead of cash.
SILVER starts flowing from London to New York.

5) Traders in Shanghai massively bought SILVER on Christmas Eve and Christmas. This completely decouples the physical price of SILVER from the manipulated paper price in the derivatives market.

Immediate PANIC ensues.

Big banks shorting SILVER are likely ALREADY broke.

This massive derivative SILVER market, is the TOOL to bring down the entire centralized and corrupt system.

SILVER is now on a trajectory towards real “price discovery,” as central banks compete with massive tech corporations to secure “physical SILVER” for the future.

That DEMAND from big money entities, is now driving the rush from “paper” into real physical SILVER.

Who knows where it finally tops.

THE CME GROUP JUST PULLED THE RUG ON #SILVER ��

If you watched the price action today, this is a MUST read.

Earlier today, December 26, 2025, the CME Group (COMEX) dropped a bombshell: Advisory #25-393.

Effective Monday, December 29, they are hiking silver margin requirement...AGAIN.

I warned you back on November 27th when they halted the markets for "technical issues":

"The CME Group are scammers. No valid reason why commodity futures trading was halted...Just as #Silver is about to breakout.

Silver is the most manipulated asset on earth because it is the most UNDERVALUED. They can only manipulate the paper prices for so long."

The "technical issues" didn't stop the squeeze.

So now, they’ve moved to their final weapon:

The Margin Hike.

THE "SILVER THURSDAY" PLAYBOOK:

If you’re new to this, you need to understand history.

When Wall Street is about to lose, the "house" LOVES changing the rules.

��1980 (The Hunt Brothers): When the Hunts tried to corner the market, the exchange implemented "Silver Rule 7," jacking up margins until the brothers were forced to liquidate. Silver crashed from nearly $50 to $10 in two months.
��2011 Squeeze: Silver touched $49.50. The CME raised margins five times in nine days. The result? A 30% plunge in weeks as leverage was sucked out.

They are trying to run the same script in 2025.

But this time, it’s different.

WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING: THE LIQUIDITY VACUUM

The CME isn't just raising prices; they are creating a technical "vacuum" designed to force you out of your position.

Here are the receipts:

��The $25,000 Wall (Advisory #25-393): Initial margins for March 2026 contracts have jumped toward $25,000—up from $20,000 just weeks ago.
��The "Whale Trap" (Notice #MSN12-11-25): This refers to Rule 112, which governs "Position Limits." They are literally capping how many contracts one entity can hold to prevent "whales" from demanding physical delivery of metal the COMEX doesn't have.
��The Forced Exit: If you don't have the extra cash in your account by Monday, you’re liquidated. Period.

They aren't protecting the market.

They are protecting the shorts.

SHANGHAI VS. COMEX: THE TRUTH IS IN THE EAST

Even with the CME trying to crush the price, the physical market is exploding.

��Shanghai Price: ~$82.14/oz.
��COMEX Price: ~$79.67/oz.

The spread is still massive.

In a normal market, this gap is pennies.

It’s staying wide because there isn't enough physical metal to move West.

The "Arbitrage" is broken because the vaults are empty.

WHY THIS SQUEEZE IS UNSTOPPABLE

Unlike 1980, this isn't just two brothers. This is Industrial Gravity.

Vault Exodus: In the first four days of December alone, 60% of all registered silver was claimed for delivery.

The Jan 1st Cliff: China is restricting exports in exactly 6 days.

The CME can raise margins to 100%, but that only affects the "Paper" gamblers.

It doesn't create a single new ounce of silver for the manufacturers who are now panicking.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The West prices silver on leverage. The East prices silver on scarcity.

When the "Infinite Paper Supply" hits the "Finite Physical Vault," the price doesn't just go up—it RESETS COMPLETELY.

Triple digit #silver is no longer a "maybe."

In my view, It is a mathematical inevitability.

Know what you hold, but PREPARE for EXTREME volatility.
