"SOLD OUT, BUT NO BID": The Silver Market Just Broke | Silver broke ATH

The infrastructure of the US silver market has officially snapped. Leaked trade sheets from major "Authorized Purchasers" revealed a terrifying paradox: Wholesalers are "Sold Out" of inventory, yet they are also "No Bid" on buybacks. They have no metal to sell, and they are refusing to buy metal from the public.
In this forensic deep dive, we expose the "Liquidity Crisis" that is destroying the supply chain. We explain the mechanism of the "Suicide Hedge"—how dealers short their own physical inventory on the Comex to stay delta neutral. As silver skyrocketed to $95, these short positions triggered massive margin calls that have eaten up every dollar of available credit. The wholesalers are asset-rich but cash-insolvent.
We analyze the "Credit Freeze" where banks are pulling lines of funding due to extreme volatility, leaving local coin shops (LCS) without an exit strategy. This contagion is forcing a wave of industry consolidation and bankruptcies.
The "Paper Price" is $95, but the market is broken. We discuss the rise of the "Peer-to-Peer" economy, the explosion of street premiums to $130+, and why the death of the middleman is the final signal that silver is re-monetizing. The system has failed. The dealer is closed. You are now the central bank.

Key Data Points Analyzed:
The No Bid Paradox: Why dealers are refusing buybacks despite record demand.
The Suicide Hedge: How shorting inventory caused a liquidity crisis during the rally.
Credit Freeze: Banks reducing "Borrowing Base" and increasing haircuts on collateral.
Industry Wipeout: The contagion spreading from wholesalers to local coin shops.
Peer-to-Peer Future: Why private transactions are the only liquidity left.
