There’s a common misconception that I’m going to clear up for you today.
When a new coin launches, and you see a percentage increase based on the low of the first candle and the current price, like $VANA being up 2400%, many people believe that some individuals bought it at $1 and others at $25.70.
Here’s the truth: When Binance adds a new coin, they must provide three prices before trading begins:
1. Opening price
2. High of the day
3. Low of the day
For example, #VANA had a low of $1, a high of $25.70 on the first candle, and an opening price around $21.79. The low price is typically based on the coin's ICO or launchpad price, while the high is either random or based on CoinMarketCap if the coin is already trading on other exchanges. Sometimes, both the low and high are arbitrary numbers, depending on the market cap at the time of launch.
The percentage you see is simply the difference between the ICO/launchpad price and the current market price. It reflects the returns made by ICO or seed investors.
As I mentioned, Binance has to set those three prices before trading starts, so there’s no way anyone bought it at $1 or $25.70 when trading began. Everyone buys at the price where trading starts.
Don’t be impressed by these numbers. Understand how things actually work—it’s important.

🚨OVER $12 TRILLION WAS ERASED FROM GLOBAL MARKETS IN JUST 48 HOURS. 🤯🤯
But why ? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
This was not a normal volatility. This was a structural unwind across metals and equities happening at the same time.
First, look at the scale of the damage.
Precious metals collapse: • Gold: −16.36%, wiping out $6.38 TRILLION • Silver: −38.9%, wiping out $2.6 TRILLION • Platinum: −29.5%, wiping out $235B • Palladium: −25%, wiping out $110B
Equities: • S&P 500: −1.88%, wiping out $1.3T • Nasdaq: −3.15%, wiping out $1.38T • Russell 2000: wiping out $100B
In total, well over $12 trillion vanished, which is more than the GDP of Germany, Japan, and India combined.
Here is what actually broke the market.
METALS WERE AT HISTORIC HIGHS
Silver had just printed 9 consecutive green monthly candles. That has never happened before.
The previous record was 8 green months, and that marked major cycle tops.
Silver had already delivered over a 3x return in 12 months. For a $5–$6 trillion asset, that is extreme.
At the peak, silver was up 65–70% YTD.
Gold was also deeply stretched after a parabolic run driven by easing expectations. At those levels, profit-taking was inevitable.
MOMENTUM PULLED IN LATE RETAIL AND LEVERAGE
The vertical rally sucked in a large wave of late buyers rotating out of crypto and equities. Most of this money did not go into physical metal.
It went into leveraged futures and paper contracts.
The dominant narrative was simple: Silver to $150–$200. That encouraged oversized long positions right at the top. When the price rolled over, liquidation started immediately.
LONG LIQUIDATION CASCADE TOOK OVER
Once silver dropped: • Margin calls triggered • Longs were forced out • Price dropped more • More liquidations followed
This is why silver collapsed over 35% in just 1 day. It was not sellers choosing to exit. It was forced selling.
PAPER MARKET STRESS VS PHYSICAL REALITY
The silver market is heavily paper-driven. Estimated paper-to-physical ratio: 300–350:1. That means hundreds of paper claims exist for every real ounce.
During the crash: • COMEX silver fell sharply • Physical markets stayed elevated
At one point, US silver was trading at $85–$90, and Shanghai silver was trading at $136. That gap exposed stress between paper pricing and real demand.
Paper markets unwind fast. Physical markets move slower.
MARGIN HIKES POURED FUEL ON THE FIRE
As prices were already falling, exchanges raised margins aggressively.
Effective Feb 2, 2026: • Silver: 11% to 15% • Platinum: 12% to 15%
Then a second hike in just 3 days: • Gold futures: +33% • Silver futures: +36% • Platinum: +25% • Palladium: +14%
Margin hikes force traders to post more collateral immediately. In a falling market, this means automatic liquidations. That is why the move felt violent and one-directional.
FED CHAIR CLARITY REMOVED A KEY BULLISH PILLAR
For months, markets were positioned around uncertainty over who would lead the Fed.
That uncertainty supported gold and silver, since hard assets tend to benefit when policy direction is unclear.
When Kevin Warsh’s probability of becoming Fed Chair surged, that uncertainty trade ended.
Warsh is not a new name. He served on the Fed during the 2008 crisis and has a long record criticizing aggressive QE, excess liquidity, and prolonged balance sheet expansion.
Markets had been priced for a more extreme outcome: fast rate cuts plus heavy liquidity injections. Warsh getting nominated signaled rate cuts with balance sheet discipline.
That shift removed a major support for gold and silver and triggered capital outflows.
On its own, this would not have caused a crash, but combined with extreme leverage and crowded positioning, it accelerated.

🎯 Your Kitco screenshot shows what smart money already knows: we’re witnessing a historic wealth transfer into hard assets. But here’s what 97% of investors are missing about the next 7 days. THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER RIGHT NOW Gold: $4,662 (+$66/+1.44%) Silver: $93.54 (+$3.50/+3.89%) Platinum: $2,363 (+$26/+1.11%) Palladium: $1,778 (−$9/−0.50%) WHY THIS WEEK CHANGES EVERYTHING Three forces are colliding simultaneously. Central banks are dumping dollars faster than any time since Bretton Woods collapsed. In 2025, gold surged 65%, palladium 95%, platinum 150%, and silver exploded 170% from end of 2024 . Government deficits are spiraling while geopolitical chaos accelerates worldwide. The supply shock nobody’s talking about? Silver market deficits in 2023 and 2024, with World Platinum Investment Council projecting another 848,000 ounce deficit in 2025 . Solar panels and EVs are eating physical inventory alive. THE 7 DAY FORECAST 🥇 GOLD: Consolidation mode. If support holds in the previously broken resistance zone, the broader bullish structure remains intact with potential push toward $4,670 and $5,000 . Trading range: $4,600 to $4,700. 🥈 SILVER: The rocket ship. A sustained break above $90.90 opens the door toward $94.60–95.81 and $98.74–99.46, with longer-term target near $101.15 . This thing’s testing triple digits within days. Key support at 81.51, resistance at 87.54, 92.68, 96.94, and 101.64 . ⚪ PLATINUM: The sleeping giant. Back in 2007 when platinum hit record highs, it was nearly 2.5x as expensive as gold. As of early January, gold is close to 2x as expensive as platinum . Nobody’s watching the most asymmetric trade of 2026. 🔘 PALLADIUM: Structural rot. Market surplus may widen as battery electric vehicles reduce demand for auto catalysts . Rotate out immediately. WHAT PHYSICAL STACKERS MUST DO THIS WEEK The game theory here is brutal. When the value of gold mining output exceeds that of platinum and palladium by around 35x, even if a small portion of gold investors diversify into platinum, their investment decisions could drive prices in U.S. dollars and price ratios relative to gold higher . Translation? The herd’s chasing silver and gold while platinum sits 48% below most analyst targets. Priority 1: PLATINUM (50% of new capital) Most analysts expect platinum prices to rise to $3,502 by end of 2026 . You’re buying at $2,363. That’s not a trade. That’s mathematical certainty wrapped in market ignorance. The platinum market is expected to remain in deficit in 2026, with lease rates expected to remain elevated . Priority 2: SILVER (40% of new capital) Bank of America forecasts silver could top out between $135 and $309 . Industrial demand from solar alone is consuming supply faster than mines can produce. Buy every dip below $90. Don’t wait for perfection. Priority 3: GOLD (10% of new capital) Portfolio anchor only. Add on significant dips toward $4,500. Already up 65% means limited upside versus the white metals. THE CONTRARIAN TRUTH Silver may stay elevated in 2026, but extending the rally sharply will likely require either renewed supply stress or a clear dovish shift from central banks . Meanwhile platinum’s reversion to historical norms doesn’t require anything except time and math. Here’s what keeps me up at night: After such strong price increases in 2025, a period of resetting and consolidation is likely, especially in the first part of 2026 . But persistent economic and geopolitical uncertainties continue to support portfolio diversification, with U.S. tariff uncertainty and favorable underlying fundamentals likely to provide additional boost to prices . THE POSITIONING PLAY Smart money’s already rotating. This forecast favors patience, buying meaningful dips rather than chasing prices higher . But understand the regime shift: fiscal dominance, dollar weaponization, central bank diversification. This isn’t 2008. This isn’t even 2020. When platinum was 2.5x gold’s price in 2007, nobody thought it was expensive. Now it’s trading at half gold’s price and everyone’s ignoring it. That’s your edge. What are you seeing in your local coin shops? Are premiums spiking yet? #BTC100kNext? #MarketRebound #StrategyBTCPurchase #Binance #CryptoMarketAnalysis
Stocks and crypto are about to face one of the most dangerous combinations of news we’ve seen in months. Two huge events are hitting at the same time: 1) New Trump tariffs on Europe 2) A Supreme Court ruling on tariffs Both land together when markets reopen. That is a recipe for extreme volatility. Over the weekend, Trump announced a fresh 10% tariff on the EU. This is the first major tariff escalation in almost three months. The last time we got a big tariff shock, on October 10: - The S&P 500 dumped hard - Crypto saw its biggest crash in five years This is not small news, as these EU tariffs threaten trade flows worth nearly $1.5 trillion. And here's why it could get worse. There is now serious talk that Europe could retaliate. If the EU starts building trade deals with countries that the US is also sanctioning, the US risks being pushed out of key trade routes. That would be: - Bearish for US stocks - Bearish for the dollar - Bearish for global risk sentiment Now add the second bomb. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether Trump’s tariffs are legally valid. They have already delayed it twice, but now a ruling is expected. Markets currently believe there is a strong chance the Court rules against him. That creates two dangerous paths: If the Court rules AGAINST Trump: - It means his tariffs are legally weak - It breaks confidence in policy stability - The stock market has been rallying on tariff optimism - That optimism could collapse fast - A violent sell-off becomes very likely If the Court rules IN FAVOR of Trump: - Then markets must fully price the damage of the EU tariffs - Trade disruption becomes real - Growth risk increases - Stocks and crypto still face heavy pressure Both are bad for risk assets. This is why next week is so dangerous. Markets are walking into: - A major tariff shock - A legal ruling that can change policy credibility And you need to be prepared for some insane volatility
