đ„ SILVER HITS $120 â HISTORY ECHOES 1980! đ„
Silver is trading near $120/oz today, and history is starting to rhymeâŠ
Back in 1980, billionaires Nelson Bunker Hunt & William Herbert Hunt nearly broke the silver market:
Bought massive physical silver
Hoarded futures
Controlled ~100M oz â 1/3 of global supply
Price jumped $2 â ~$50
đ„ Then the system snapped:
COMEX introduced Silver Rule 7
Margin trading restricted
Banks cut lending
Margin calls destroyed positions
Result: Silver collapsed 50% in a single day â Silver Thursday, March 27, 1980
đ Todayâs Differences:
Silver breaks $100+
Industrial demand booming (solar, EVs, tech)
Supply chains stressed
â Key: No single player can corner the market anymore
â But volatility remains extreme
Takeaway:
Silver moves violently. History doesnât repeat⊠but it echoes.
