41,000 traders got liquidated overnight — not because they were wrong… but because the rules changed while they slept.
In this video, I break down the real reason silver crashed from the $88 area to the mid-$70s: a sudden COMEX margin requirement hike that triggered forced selling, margin calls, and a liquidation cascade across leveraged futures positions.
This wasn’t supply & demand.
This was market structure — and it can happen in any futures market.
What you’ll learn in this breakdown:
How margin hikes work and why they cause “overnight” liquidations
Why a 13–14% margin increase can force traders out instantly
How forced selling creates a cascade (liquidations → stops → more liquidations)
Why shorts often benefit during these “rule-change” events
The “danger zone” around options strike levels and why exchanges watch them
What a delivery squeeze is and why it matters when open interest piles up
The key risk most traders ignore: regulatory/exchange risk
5 defensive rules to prevent forced liquidation in any leveraged market
