Silver now basically has no monetary attributes and is more like a high-leverage tool that amplifies market sentiment, with prices swinging wildly due to the tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces. The more volatile it gets, the more intense the fluctuations become. Banks and market makers can't handle such sharp swings; hedging becomes difficult, and they are reluctant to quote large amounts. Additionally, since the silver market is small, even a slight fluctuation can significantly reduce liquidity. The more liquidity is needed, the more it is lacking. In comparison, gold remains much more stable, with deep pools of liquidity, broad buying interest, and support from central banks. As the market trend worsens, the gap widens. Simply put, silver no longer follows the monetary metal path; it purely reacts to optimism and fear, with rapid rises and falls, making it very risky.
