Is 4th Time The Charm For Today's Slam-Silver-Surge-Stocks Algo?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Silver just got monkey-hammered below $18 - on no news catalyst - as for the 4th time today, it appears the triangle of doom between precious metals, USDJPY, and US equities is initiated to ensure Greek fears do not harm wealth creation... Today's weapon of choice in the levitation is "most shorted" stocks - which have been squeezed up over 1% since the open, dragging the indices higher with them...

 

Silver slammed...

 

4th time the charm?

 

as "Most shorted" gets the nut-squeeze treatment...

Silver is getting slammed like Ben Finkenbinder's backdoor at an Obama 'golf' outing.

Sickening to watch these past 4 years.

The sickening part is this is nothin' but paper that was printed by the banks out of thin air for use to manipulate market prices.  It was the Wealth Watchman that first pointed out that raids like this the paper-to-physical many times exceeds 200,000:1.  In case you didn't get that number its two-hundred-thousand ounces of paper for every one oz of real metal being sold during the raid. 

To put that in perspective, if these were houses, they just sold an entire city of homes where the population would be around 400,000 to 500,000 which is about the size of a Tucson, AZ or Longbeach, CA.  However, actually only one home was sold and it was occupied by 2 people.  This is beyond incredible and has entered the land of the psychotic.

Its still a highly leveraged, fraudulent paper market folks, no surprises here...

Mon, 01/26/2015 - 12:22 | 5706477 Alea Iactaest

And according to said highly leveraged, fraudulent paper market a retrace to $17.19 or so would represent a healthy 38.2% retracement.

The run since November has been powerful and it's just time to let the charts catch up. The volume traded in Au and Ag since mid-November is a clear indication that plenty of people have been watching the metals to time purchases, and they've decided the time is now.

Recent events have only generated additional buying and a few knock-downs won't be enough to convince people that staying in fiat to risk NIRP, currency devaluation and bail-ins is a better alternative.

It's also been interesting to watch the battle at £12. Today Ag lost that level. Seems significant given price action over the last two weeks or so.

 

Edit: Seems the price in GBP is important given the "L" in LBMA.

It feels better when Silver is green +5% but any day to day moves are insignificant given what we all hold our stacks for - INSURANCE.

You could see this one coming with the opening of spot market trading last night. AU and AG should have popped higher at 6PM EST but traded basically flat most of the night.

The more dire the situation, they harder they have to pound down on the PM's to keep the price action in check. Actually, they are just giving us more time to stack up at discounted prices. Thank you JPM for "buying" me extra time to grow my stacks you fucks.

So, you advise taking the bankster's refinancing loan, buying a shitload of silver, repudiating the loan (Jubilee!) and minting a new Real Drachma from silver rather than copper-nickel, is that it ???

Might work.

Now, whose picture should be on the coin ?

Algo weapon of choice aside (metal vs. energy vs. currencies, etc.), IMO what we’re seeing today is, perhaps due to smaller trading firms boarding up for the storm, a case in which those trading from longer term charts, daily bars, often well-capitalized primary dealers, have overpowered those trading mid-term (hourly, 15m);  thus, we saw SPY and IWM roughly come back to touch the key 20 DMAs, then absolutely rocket forward, making a mockery of Mr. Wilder’s normally reliable DMI to completely traverse shorter-term volatility envelopes like a shooting star.  ‘Twas a planned ambush, absolutely, abetted by a VIX/RVX slam-o-rama.

If I’m correct, look for the evil hexadecimal bastards to challenge 2015 highs on the aforementioned indices, but if they close early and we roll over, afternoon plunges are not out of the question.  Looks like an odd day, in any case …

It took over 850,000 contracts algoed back and forth in 20 minutes to beat silver down 25 cents.

If this were phyzz it would amount to 4.2 years' production. In 20 minutes.  Because it might snow? 

Have they no shame at all? When do the muppets turn on the muppetteers?

Stay tuned.

An affliction known only among gentlemen, apparently.

I set the chart for 'weeks' and the volume traded since last October is incredible, it's astronomical. There is a silver shark circling the squid.  He makes Jaws look like a sick guppy.  He's a hungry bastard, I hope I'm watching when he tears them to pieces.

@ Explosivo- If the drive bys and beatdowns of the last 3+ years had never happened?  That is not possible to calculate.

A good guess might be a GSR of 32/1 with gold at about 3000, so...

The Survey SAID- $94

Yeah, that would feel right.
