Summary:

- Paper silver crashed down 22% this week.

- Costco limiting transaction limits on silver purchases. (rationing silver)

- The Perth mint suspended sales.

- The US mint suspended sales.

- The UK Royal Mint ran out of stock.

- Indian silver dealers defaulted.

- China drained 27 metric tons of silver in a single day from the total 455 metric tons of silver it's holding in it's vaults.

- Silver lease rates hit 39% an all time high.

- Each day, the west dumps it's prices on it's paper silver contracts whilst Asia and Middle East goes and buys up the physical silver.

One of the above is a lie and doesn't follow reality.

One side is playing a video game.

LOL

Let's hope China jumps in and buys the ar5e out of the COMEX March 2026 contracts at $82 or below.

Cheap Silver. CRIMEX might have to buy from FRES or it's shares.

LMAO if they do this.

Now COMEX Silver March 2026 contract at £78.06 .

Looks like they're trying to margin call other weak hands out by pushing Silver prices further down..

No shame in their actions on the silver paper contracts as they're looking at every way to reduce the physical delivery of silver exposure in late March\April 2026.

The after market trades between 16:35pn to 16:47pm today:

7 trades valued at £987k brought into FRES at £37.02 between 16:36pm to 16:38pm.

1 trade valued at £554k brought into FRES at £36.84 at 16:47pm.

SUMMARY TOTAL: £1.54m Buys in FRES from 8 Trades after market hours.

Looks like someone was bottom fishing cheap FRES shares and paying above the FRES closing day SP.

Gold and silver in the west is like that shell game. Keep you thinking there's no issue whilst moving the silver around to scam you.

Canada 'Carney' and UK 'Starmer' both middle countries visited China for trade deals.

USA 'Trump' will plan to visit China in April so what for. Hint: Please China Buy more of our microchips and soya beans.

If China is printing money like the rest of the west then and has an annual trade surplus of $1.2 trillion, then that sure does sweeten their economic predicament. Also, what do you do with all that fiat foreign reserves? Keep it in China to cause internal inflation or use it to by other foreign assets and lend it out to the world as cheap loans.

As for USA, the $1.5 Trillion budget and rebranding of the Department of War only means one thing during Trump's presidency.

As for the Fed nomination, they're all cut from the same cloth and controlled and represent the wishes of a small country in the Middle East. Nothing good or bad will change, yet you do know who's hold the cards here and the direction of play.

JMAX.

"The collapse of the Fiat system is by design."

Exactly..... $1 for $0.85 (applies to whatever western currency) CBDC within a 50 days so moving away from paper FIAT money to a digital FIAT money.

Will there be an escape goat for the potential March 2026 flare up and force majeure by COMEX and western metals exchanges?

As you see again the exchange rules changed and caused the crash in Silver! Hmm... a bit like before.

The Historical Context: The Hunt Brothers' Silver Corner

This case is a famous chapter in financial history:

What They Did: In the late 1970s, the Hunt brothers used their vast oil wealth to amass a huge position in physical silver and silver futures contracts, aiming to drive up the price. At one point, they controlled an estimated one-third of the world's privately held silver.

The Collapse ("Silver Thursday"): The scheme unravelled on March 27, 1980 (known as "Silver Thursday"), when silver prices crashed after exchange rules changed and they could not meet massive margin calls.

Aftermath: The brothers lost over a billion dollars, were sued by investors, and eventually filed for personal bankruptcy in 1988 before reaching the mentioned settlement with regulators. Fine $10m each and $130m in civil damages.

For those that leveraged to buy silver COMEX contracts, COMEX just turned the screw in January 2026 to flush away the under-capitalised which has probably rippled out and affected FRES rally. That Asian AI avatar has some sense in what it's saying.

COMEX: The rising of margin requirements in Jan 2026:

a) 13th Jan 2026: Structural Change: Switched from fixed dollar amounts to a percentage-of-notional system. Initial rate for Silver set at 9%.

https://www.cmegroup.com/notices/clearing/2026/01/26-019.html

b) 30th Jan 2026: Margin Rate Hike: Increased the margin percentage from 9% to 11% (and heightened-risk margins from 9.9% to 12.1%)

The COMEX Silver futures contract for March 2026 is set to expire on March 27, 2026. The evidence strongly supports the claim that COMEX’s ability to physically deliver all requested silver after the March 2026 expiry is under significant pressure. The low inventory coverage, rapid withdrawals, and unusual market behaviour all point to a market where physical supply is struggling to meet paper claims.

https://www.investing.com/analysis/silver-how-structural-deficits-are-setting-up-a-onceinageneration-move-200674048

"Today, the March 2026 futures contract alone represents 528 million ounces of exposure (105,683 contracts × 5,000 oz) against only 113 million ounces of registered silver. That is more than 4x the deliverable supply concentrated in a single contract month."

I've put a small EOD limit buy at £36 on FRES to see if it's going to revisit that SP.

I brought some FRES on the way down but really like it to fall further.

Brought £37 = 17% fall from the ATH

That FRES spike before 16:00pm from £38.10 to £41.50, LSE halting trading and resuming 3-4 mins afterwards . WTF was that? The bouncer (LSE) letting in the elites in to buy FRES on the cheap?

My Broker that does OTC trades got it's kn1ckers in a twist from LSE and the FRES SP volatility.

Unable to buy at £38.11. Will try buying near market close should it dip.

Its' okay now!

FRES has stopped trading a £38.10 SP.

The London Stock Exchange has put the breaks into trading this share 10 minutes ago.

My Broker sent me a message that the London Stock Exchange just halted trades in FRES.

I didn't buy.

I'm always waiting for the two step fall in FRES SP after the ATH. Step 1 fall over 250, step 2 fall over 100, step 3 Is it near a support level if yes then Buy into FRES.

this manipulation of fres yesterday has been going on for the last year. **** me off i can't see the true price discovery on fres between buyers and sellers.

at 16:29pm and 59 seconds a small sell trade in fres denote closing price at £41.50. yet wtf happen to the fres share price to close at £41.16 on the day? yes they took a unknown trade valued at £122.6k at 16:35pm as it's closing share price of £41.16. this was an after-market trade just to knock the fres sp down on the day - 29-01-2026.

i hate all these after market filler trades as well as the error trades of zero or tiny values just to mask (push down) the big trades which are disclosed after-market.

CaptainSwag,

Something is odd with how FRES have been traded today. How is it this £58m total of 4 unknown trades at 10:30am for 30 minutes not even accounted for in the London Stock Exchange SETS system and nor is it registered in FRES daily buy or sell volumes?

Spoofing is not allowed in trading and is considered an illegal form of market manipulation in major financial markets worldwide, including in the UK and the US. Maybe, that's what some big institution player was doing to push down the FRES SP and then maybe to buy FRES shares up sub £40 prices. Whatever, happened today in FRES SP movement was absolutely weird as if they've rigging the whole silver arena and including big silver miners too.

I get the feeling the big banks, crimex, LSEG SETS are all working together to rigging the game to shorten the price variance between Shanghai metal exchange silver prices versus the western beliefs that what silver prices should be on the silver futures paper contracts. This involves a holistic approach to gain critical mass from the little investors too in following the direction the big players want us to go and do.

I looked at the FRES after markets data and:

- Between 10:30am to 10:58am in that half an hour, there were 4 unknown ordinary trades totalling of £58m buying or selling the FRES SP at £42.98.

- If you look at the FRES chart the SP movement during the day, it only moved within a trading range of £41.24 to £41.56 in that 28 mins. No spikes up or down.

- The trade information of these 4 trades wasn't disclosed until market closed. (Now masked\pushed away from these wave of zero or tiny unknown trades)

Summary: Hard to tell if it was a Big seller or Big buyer... All I know is there's a big catfish swimming with the small fish in the same pond and stirring up the mud to sneakily do something of which I do not know.
