Panic hit the metals pit as silver suffered what David Morgan calls the most violent correction in its history—a 30% waterfall collapse after ripping past $120. The leveraged crowd was obliterated. Paper traders briefly seized control, slamming futures while physical demand overwhelmed bullion dealers scrambling for supply.

Morgan, a veteran of multiple cycles, says his subscribers sold into strength at $107 as spot unraveled. But he argues the rout is temporary. With silver now labeled a critical mineral and Washington potentially forced to backstop supply, he draws parallels to 1980’s Silver Thursday. The physical market, he insists, will reclaim dominance.
