Why did the price drop from 80 to 75 in just 2 days?

The answer is not at all mysterious.
Barron's magazine previewed it in advance. 🧨
The headline on January 2nd was very straightforward:
"Silver will soon face significant selling pressure"
The core reason is only one 👇
👉 Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing from January 8–14
According to calculations cited in the article by J.P. Morgan:
👉 This rebalancing will trigger approximately $3.8 billion in silver futures sell-offs
And then you see:
The market, precisely hitting the mark.
What’s more intriguing is the background.
Who is J.P. Morgan?
👉 One of the biggest silver shorts in history
👉 Was fined back then, later became "low-key and cautious"
But you need to pay attention to one sentence:
Not speaking doesn’t mean not doing.
In this round of silver short squeeze,
They happen to be the main opponents of the bulls.
And it’s not just “research reports.”
👉 This week, American clients have already responded:
Brokers proactively called, suggesting to short silver
Reason?
The same: index rebalancing.
This is quite interesting.
On the surface, it looks like:
📉 Passive index rebalancing
But when viewed together, it’s more like:
🧠 Pre-agreed consensus + acting in concert
What is the “east wind”?
The answer is: historical规律.
Looking back, you will find a very strange but recurring pattern 👇
🔹 2010: Silver super bull
→ 2011 January rebalancing:
👉 Fell for a month
👉 Only restarted rising at the end of the month
🔹 1980: The same path
👉 After a strong year
👉 January rebalancing, no exceptions, all down
The conclusion is harsh:
No year, after a strong year, can continue to rise after rebalancing.
It’s like the “Christmas rally”:
✔ Logically plausible
✔ Repeated enough times
✔ Eventually becomes market consensus
Once it becomes consensus,
It turns into—
👉 A pre-placed harvest point.
So what you see is not “sudden bad news,”
But:
📌 Known events
📌 Repeatedly validated historical paths
📌 Time windows pre-emptively occupied by funds
In summary:
👉 It’s not that silver suddenly stopped performing,
But that bulls, facing rebalancing, have been collectively educated.
The last sentence, left for the market:
A cloud-piercing arrow,
Let’s see if this wave can beat the bulls into submission by the end of January.
Do you think this time will
Repeat history once again?
Or,
Will this round of silver truly break the “January curse”?
