David Lee on X came in with his analysis on the price action of silver over the last week. He might have a point:

1. Physical silver is not available for December contract delivery 2. Big Banks were buying what physical is still available forcing price up 3. One Big Bank got caught in wrong position and unable to meet margin requirement, its short positions were liquidated forcing price shot up on Friday and Monday Asian trading 4. After the short covering has completed in early Asian trading on Monday morning, price got push down 5. Buyers come back to buy on the dip, cutting the price drop 6. Unless Big Banks can get enough physical to fulfill their delivery commitment, the demand will stay strong 7. With 4 trading days left of December, the next few days will see significant volatility and a chance of more bad news for Big Banks Below is a list by @mcm_ct_usa of Big Banks which might be "trapped in a Silver (and gold) squeeze" ‼️ >>> THIS IS UNVERIFIED INFORMATION. AS MOST OF US, I DO NOT KNOW WHO OWNS WHAT !!! (but it seems that the market has its doubts as big banks are currently getting sold)
