Hey, Ross here:

Welcome back to a new trading week.

Now that January is over, I was planning to talk about how stocks have performed over the month in today’s newsletter.

But I’m moving that to tomorrow’s newsletter…

Because today, we need to talk about the $10 trillion wipeout that happened in the precious metals markets on Friday.

Chart of the Day

That’s silver dropping 30% in a single day – and 46% in a matter of two days.

Gold also saw double-digit selloffs – alongside other metals like platinum and copper.

This rout wiped out $10 trillion in market value in a matter of hours…

And it was the worst day for gold and silver since 1980.

One of the biggest “reasons” the news is giving for this plunge is the nomination of Kevin Warsh by Trump for the new Fed Chair.

This was viewed as Trump respecting Fed independence – reducing market risk…

And in turn reducing demand for safe haven assets like precious metals.

This reason “seems” to make sense, and I’m sure it played a factor in the massive selloff.

But let me give you the trader’s perspective.

Just look again at this parabolic price action, this time over a longer timeframe.

There was no proper “base”...

No steady buildup of buyers slowly absorbing supply and sellers getting exhausted.

Instead what we got was a rabid horde of buyers rushing in due to FOMO.

And the moment people started selling, those who came in at the highs immediately started dumping their positions out of fear too…

Amplifying the magnitude of the selloff.

9 times out of 10, these parabolic price moves never last – and for good reason.

But if we take a step back, we can see that the bull case for silver is still strong.

It’s still significantly up…

And the underlying factors – growing industrial demand amid a structural supply deficit – are still there.

But no matter the underlying factors…

These kinds of parabolic surges rarely last – and silver just proved it.

And that brings us to a critical insight that’s even more important in today’s headline-driven market.

I explain below.

Insight of the Day

Rapid price surges can actually be the most dangerous kind of price action.

Yes, we want to see more buyers than sellers.

But when buyers start flooding in just because they see the price of an asset rapidly increasing…

It’s actually some of the most dangerous price action there is.

Because it naturally leads to FOMO – which can be very difficult to resist, even for experienced traders…

And it can lure you in – causing you to buy at the top and sell after a big drop as early buyers take profit.

In today’s headline-driven market, these kinds of rapid price surges catch more attention than ever…

Which also means they’re more dangerous than ever.

The final part of silver’s parabolic move was likely driven by retail flows…

While the initial base was driven by the institutional flows – the “smart money”.

In short, we likely saw the “smart money” dumping their bags on the retail traders coming in at the top…

A tale as old as time.

Learn from the mistakes of those “late to the party” FOMO silver investors.

What we want to do instead is come in at the same time as the “smart money”...

And tomorrow, Tuesday February 3, at 11 a.m. Eastern…

I’m going LIVE to show you my top strategy for tracking these smart money footprints…

Long before the FOMO crowd comes rushing in.

This will allow you to take the “smart” side of the trade – and take advantage of the FOMO crowd (instead of joining them).

Just look at some of the trades this strategy could have allowed you to take.
