Over the past week, Bitcoin (BTC) has slipped around 7.5%, and Ethereum has dropped roughly 12% this month. Naturally, folks started asking if this was the beginning of another “crypto winter.”
My answer? Not even close.
That was a weak-hand shakeout. You had a bunch of companies using leverage, got hit with liquidations… and BOOM, down we went.
But the fundamentals haven’t changed.
Bitcoin still doubled last year. It’s still the alpha of digital assets. And I believe it’s on its way to $125,000 (or more), after pulling back and bouncing off its latest support levels. Today alone, it climbed 5% off that low.
Same story with Ethereum (ETH)… It hit one of our key buy zones last week, bounced, and now it’s backing off again.
But that’s all part of the pattern. This rally is still on.
So, the real story I want to talk about today is one you might not be expecting: SILVER.
It’s not getting nearly the attention that Bitcoin or even gold is right now — and that’s exactly why it’s so interesting.
Although we’ve been talking about it all year, silver’s been flying under the radar on the financial news networks.
And that’s despite some seriously impressive gains…
Silver’s up around 75% year-to-date and more than 50% over the past 12 months. It recently surged past $50 an ounce, powered by a weaker U.S. dollar and growing concerns over the broader economy.
As of now, the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is trading around $46, which is just a hair higher than the levels we saw last week—when we released a trade.
That trade? It’s already DOUBLED.
The SLV Trade That’s Already Up Over 100%+
Here’s the setup we gave Monday: the SLV December 19, 2025, $42/$47 call spread.
- Total risk? About $155.
- Max reward? Around $345.
- That’s a 220% potential return.
And just days later… we’re already up 100%.
Why? Because silver hit our buy zone and lined up with our seasonal trading cycle. The same setup we’ve used to win on 26 of our last 27 metals trades.
That’s what happens when you combine rules-based patterns with options-based leverage. It’s not guesswork… it’s not luck… it’s precision.
And today, at 3pm ET, I’m going live again for Day 2 of my Crypto & Commodities Cash Course, where we’ll dive even deeper into these setups.
I’m not talking about just silver, gold, or Bitcoin, either… I’ve added 65+ other tickers to our trading pool, including rare earths and even miners. That’s a universe of high-liquidity, optionable trades you can target with clarity and confidence.
