Looking at the recent surge in trading activity—we're witnessing volume levels that haven't been seen since 2021. That's the kind of spike that gets traders' attention.
What's fueling this move? Primarily call option buying, which suggests bullish bets are heating up. But that's only part of the story. ETF inflows have also picked up momentum, indicating retail participation is ramping alongside institutional positioning.
Here's the thing though: when you stack speculative positioning on top of fund accumulation, you've got a potential warning signal. Not to say this necessarily tanks tomorrow, but complacency isn't warranted. The short-term risk/reward setup looks asymmetric right now. Worth keeping an eye on before things get ahead of fundamentals. ⚠️

Trading volume in 2021, are we doing it again? I think retail and institutional investors are joining together, which is a signal of a potential sell-off.

Is silver about to surge again? Honestly, I'm a bit hesitant.

Silver is playing with fire again, and this time it's really getting hard to hold on.
Since 2021, the trading volume has been driven by retail investors bottom-fishing and institutions accumulating. This combination isn't very good.
The risks are not proportional; beware of a crash.

This wave of silver is indeed a bit risky; retail investors following the trend to buy this could lead to a major event.

Silver is going crazy again, and this time it really feels a bit risky.
Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are also rushing in. It looks lively, but the risks are piling up quickly.
That wave in 2021 is still vivid in my memory... Being cautious is definitely the right move.

Is silver going crazy again? I lost out during that wave in 2021.
White metal mania signals are flashing red.
