⬤ Historic weekly drop: Silver crashed roughly 47% within one week, with the steepest decline happening on the same day Bitcoin also tumbled sharply, prompting traders to question whether this was a coordinated market event rather than an isolated commodity sell-off.
⬤ Leverage unwind theory: Speculation is growing that heavily leveraged traders holding positions in both silver and Bitcoin-related instruments were forced to liquidate when liquidity conditions tightened, triggering automatic sell orders across both markets as margin calls hit.
⬤ Structured selling pattern: The way prices fell seemed methodical rather than chaotic, leading some market watchers to believe this was systematic liquidation driven by margin pressure rather than emotional panic selling, though no official confirmation exists yet.
⬤ Interconnected markets exposed: This event highlights how different asset classes can move in lockstep during periods of excessive leverage, with potential for price stabilization once overleveraged positions are cleared out and normal trading resumes.
