2026 Lunatic Fringe - Market and Trade Chat

Silver — Prediction — January will be Bullish

For this to work, support at $70.16 must continue to hold. I believe it will. Target by or before end of January 2026: $93.18 - $89.95

It will not go straight up from $71.60, but the rise will be rapid once $83.75 is breached.

Chop is to be expected at prior specified levels: $72.69, $73.54, $76.91, $79.25, $82.08, $83.75

Turbulence during price discovery may occur around $87.74 and $89.95

Once the upper January target is reached, the same levels will act as support for a pullback: $89.95 - $87.74.

When I was in the manufacturing and export business in China, every time when the Chinese government launched new export restrictions and limitations on certain products I get a flood of calls from Chinese export brokers who tell me that they are nothing burgers.

THEY WERE NEVER NOTHING BURGERS.

THE JAN 1 2026 CHINA #SILVER EXPORT LIMITATION/RESTRICTION IS NOT GOING TO BE A NOTHING BURGER.

Anyone who listens to some broker or Western mainstream media and believes this to be a nothing burger has an IQ of less than 50.

Happy New Year and Good Luck.

I agree. Slow and steady wins the race.

Parabolic curves rarely sustain.

I have heard "experts" with differing opinions on this.

One said exporters just have to be registered, no limitations...yet.

Good idea for the new forum! @pmbug

Armstrong hammering home the reasons why the US is the reserve currency of the world.
He's on fire!

Perfect Storm for Debt, Economy, War, Gold & Silver – Martin Armstrong​

Armstrong sees a bull market for gold, silver and other metals for years ahead. One big reason are shortages in the metals. Armstrong says, “I don’t see these shortages going away. The bull market is more likely to go into 2032. It will be volatile, and then you got war coming. Once you get into war, prices are going to go up even more. It’s all a mess. This is a perfect storm.”

Armstrong is a fear monger, his business model depends on it.

He's been right more than wrong.

I find listening to him expands my thought process. Stuff I never considered appears on my radar.
