This is like Reading it on the Internet and Now Asking the Internet... Must be True.

Well there you have it.

"Even AI admits it:

The manipulation of silver prices is primarily conducted by major bullion banks such as JPMorgan Chase, UBS, HSBC, and Goldman Sachs. These banks manipulate silver prices mainly during the U.S. trading session on the COMEX market between 8:30 AM and 11 AM EST. This timeframe is when they aggressively "slam" the price down to prevent it from breaking key technical or psychological levels, thereby suppressing silver prices almost daily for decades.

They perform this manipulation by flooding the market with large quantities of "paper" silver (mostly futures contracts unbacked by physical metal) and by using tactics like spoofing (placing large sell orders with no intention to execute to create price ceilings). This keeps silver prices artificially low to avoid triggering a bull market that could undermine the confidence in paper currencies like the U.S. dollar.

Regarding at what silver price point these banks are in trouble: they hold massive net short positions, equivalent to hundreds of millions of ounces of silver, largely as naked short sales. For every $1 increase in silver's price, these banks stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. Once silver breaks above key resistance levels—historically around $32 to $33 per ounce and recently with breakouts around $35 to $39 per ounce—these banks risk a "short squeeze" where they must buy back physical silver at much higher prices to cover their positions. This could create a runaway rally with prices potentially soaring far above current levels, putting these banks in serious financial distress."
