WARNING: The "Ghost Week" Starts Tomorrow | Why Silver Could Gap $5.00

The markets are closed for Christmas, and the price of silver is locked at $71.91. While this silence feels safe, it is actually the calm before the most unpredictable storm of the year. We are entering Ghost Week—the seven days between Christmas and New Year where senior traders leave the building, liquidity vanishes, and algorithms run wild.
In this urgent holiday update, we break down the mechanics of the Liquidity Vacuum. We explain why the "Skeleton Crews" manning the bank desks are powerless to stop volatility, creating a dangerous environment where prices can "teleport" $5.00 in minutes without news. We also analyze the "Santa Claus Rally"—the statistical tendency for asset prices to drift higher on low volume as short sellers close their books for the year.
Most importantly, we reveal the Endgame Roadmap for 2026. We explain the "January Effect," a massive wave of capital inflows from pension funds and asset allocators who will be forced to buy the best-performing asset of 2025 (Silver) to rebalance their portfolios on January 2nd. The "Ghost Week" is the trap; January is the payday.

In this video, we cover:
The Skeleton Crew: Why the absence of market makers during the holidays creates extreme gap risk.
The Liquidity Vacuum: How a thin order book allows small orders to move the price vertically.
The Santa Claus Rally: The historical data behind the "Drift" that occurs when short sellers leave for vacation.
The January Effect: Why pension funds will be forced to allocate billions to silver in the first week of 2026.
The 2026 Outlook: The three major macro events (Debt Ceiling, BRICS Summit, Solar Mandates) that will drive the next leg of the bull run.
