Silver crashes 8%, not panic, but "the inevitable path of leverage liquidation"

If gold is the "old veteran," then silver is the "emotional youth." Last night's 8% drop in silver looks frightening, but from the perspective of historical volatility—it's not surprising at all.
Silver's problem has never been logic, but volatility. It both benefits from safe-haven demand and industrial expectations; it acts like a precious metal and like a risk asset. Once global assets undergo a synchronized correction, silver is often the "furthest thrown away."
But this precisely indicates one thing:
The real risk is not in the decline itself, but in whether you are using leverage or not.
From a medium-term perspective, around $108 is the upper boundary of the previous acceleration zone, a position where "emotional premium has been squeezed out." There has been no trend-level breakdown. However, in the short term, silver needs time to digest the panic selling.
My approach at Gate TradFi is very clear:
* Only test with small positions in silver
* Never chase rebounds
* Focus more on "oscillating within ranges" rather than one-sided trends
Silver is not meant for "full position faith," but as a tool to enhance portfolio resilience.
In the current environment, I would rather miss a rebound than make emotional moves on the most volatile assets. #贵金属行情下跌
