THEY ARE TRAPPED: Banks Rush to Fed for $17B — Silver Short Positions Explode

The Fed just wired $17 billion to save banks from a silver margin call. This is the pivot. The suppression is over. Here's what happens at $100.

On December 26th, the Federal Reserve's overnight repo facility reported a shocking $17.251 billion liquidity injection—the largest emergency operation since 2019. This wasn't routine year-end positioning. This was a bailout triggered by silver hitting $78.980 and forcing massive margin calls on bullion bank short positions. The timing is undeniable: as silver gapped $5 higher, banks holding hundreds of millions of ounces in short contracts faced technical insolvency. They pawned Treasury collateral to the Fed just to meet clearinghouse demands. Meanwhile, COMEX delivery notices hit 12,707 contracts—63.5 million ounces demanded for physical delivery during a single holiday month. The shorts are capitulating, SLV borrow fees collapsed, and the Fed has effectively placed a put under silver prices by guaranteeing bank liquidity. This changes everything. We're no longer in a supply squeeze—we're in a monetary devaluation event where the Fed must choose between saving banks or saving the dollar. They chose banks. The $100 target is now a policy certainty. Here's your complete road map for navigating the greatest wealth transfer in modern financial history.
