The Fuse Is Lit in the Dark: What the Spread Surge Foretells

Luke Lovett
June 09, 2025

📍 Note: On June 6th, we identified $36.405 as the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level from the post-2020 Wave V frame ($11.64 → $49.80).

That level marked the transition point from Wave IV correction to potential Wave V ignition.
As of 6:14AM ET, June 9th, silver is trading at $36.455, and has been hovering near this pivot level for hours—validating its structural importance.

📡 Primary Signals to Watch

Signal	Status	Interpretation
$36.405 (0.786 retracement)	Retested & Holding	✅ Fibonacci ignition level validated
$38.65 (Next level trigger)	Approaching	🚪 Threshold for Wave V expansion
+10,308 Spread Contracts	+39.1% week-over-week	🧬 Hidden signal—volatility pre-positioning
117,234 Commercial Shorts	+8,906 this week	⚠ Defensive engagement—but not overwhelming
COMEX Registered: ~159M oz	Ample	🧊 Physical markets remain quiet—for now
Gold/Silver Ratio: ~91.77	Elevated	🪙 No monetary confirmation yet—gold still leads
Total Open Interest +19,330	Rising	🧲 Capital inflow accelerating—not peaking

⚔️ Compression Before the Break

Silver closed last week at $36.139, piercing the critical $36.405 retracement level from the 2020–2021 Wave V Fibonacci frame ($11.64 → $49.80).

This morning, price spiked to $36.597 before pulling back to hover around $36.417 at 5:36 AM ET—just above the ignition line.

This is not a failed breakout—it’s a technical retest.
But what matters most now is not what you see on the chart...
It’s what moved beneath it.

🧬The Pulse Beneath the Surface: +39% Spread Surge as Structural Signal

The June 6 COT report wasn’t loud. It was surgical.

+10,308 new large spec spreads
+39.1% increase in a single week
Largest relative move across the entire derivatives structure.

This isn’t random positioning.
It’s capital responding to something unspoken—yet visible in flow.

🧨What Are Spreads Really Signaling?

Spreads are not momentum plays.
They’re timing instruments, volatility detectors, curve arbitrage tools.

They say: “A break is coming. Not everyone sees it yet—but we’re already there.”

This kind of spread build doesn’t chase price—it front-loads rupture.

And it happened exactly as silver cleared and retested $36.405, the 0.786 Fibonacci level of the Wave V arc.

That’s not a trade.
That’s foresight.

🧪What Does This Mean at the Core?

Volatility is being priced in—not after the move, but before it.
These spreads are the synthetic lungs of the market—they expand before liftoff.
Capital isn’t asking ‘if’—it’s preparing for ‘how explosively.’
This is the cheapest, stealthiest way to get positioned before a structural breach.
This isn’t a directional moonshot.
It’s a bet on timing compression—the kind that precedes verticality.

It’s structure watching structure—and flinching.

🔍What the Candles Can’t Show You

Price looks calm.
COMEX looks supplied.
GSR remains wide.
Retail is unaware.

But beneath that surface, a 39.1% explosion in spreads just told you something different:

"This isn’t price stability.
It’s preparatory stillness—an inhale before ignition."

No headline captured it.
No RSI blinked.
But the derivatives knew.

♟Why This Signal Hits Different Right Now

We’re in a fragile alignment:

No obvious delivery stress
No monetary GSR confirmation
No technical fireworks… yet

And yet the smartest desks on the curve are building exposure that only pays when everything changes fast.

This is the kind of signal:

That leads the headlines
That whispers before shouting
That moves like shadow capital seeing around the bend

You’re not watching retail.
You’re not watching fear.
You’re watching internal coordination that knows something’s coming.🧬

📊Silver Probability Zones

(Elliott Wave & Fibonacci Framework: Wave V from $11.64 → $49.80)

Price Zone	Tier	Probability	Wave Interpretation
Below $34.80	Tier -1 ⚫	Low (but rising if breached)	Complex correction risk. If silver breaks and confirms below $34.80, Wave IV may not be complete. Could imply a flat, triangle, or W–X–Y structure still in development.
$36.00–$36.41	Tier 1 🟢	High	0.786 retracement of $11.64 → $49.80 = $36.405. Holding this level suggests Wave IV is complete and Wave V has begun. Silver recently retested this zone and is currently holding above it. Spread surge (+10,308 contracts, +39.1%) confirms capital is preparing for verticality.
$36.41–$38.65	Tier 2 🟡	Elevated	Wave V substructure forming. This range likely contains Wave (i) and (ii) of V. Compression building. Volatility is being priced in via spreads while commercials engage defensively.
$38.65–$41.20	Tier 3 🟠	Moderate	Breakout confirmation zone. A close above $38.65 confirms Wave iii of V acceleration. Low resistance profile. Confirmation strengthened by GSR compression and rising volume.
$41.20–$44.75	Tier 4 🔴	Conditional	Measured Wave v of V target zone. Requires structural follow-through. Confirmation likely from falling GSR (currently ~91.77), physical pressure (COMEX drawdown), or macro shock.
Above $44.75	Tier 5 🟣	Speculative	Super-extension or regime shift. Suggests Wave V is extending beyond traditional Fib symmetry or a higher-degree wave (e.g. Supercycle Wave III) is now unfolding. Calls for narrative re-rating or macro revaluation event.

🏁Final Word

Silver’s pulse is strong—but it’s not visible on the surface.
Not in price.
Not in inventory.
Not in sentiment.

But spreads surged 39%.
And price is still holding ignition.
And open interest is rising into resistance—not falling.

This is how capital moves when something big is coming… and few are watching.

No squeeze.
No headlines.
Just quiet structure and a pulse beneath the metal.

You’re not late. You’re early.
Because you know where to listen.

🛡️Gold and Silver Just Make Sense.

There’s something different about holding the real thing.

No passwords. No counterparty. No second layer of trust.

Just weight. Purity. Silence that speaks louder when the system gets noisy.

Gold and silver have seen everything—empires rise and fall, currencies printed into abstraction, promises made and broken.

And still they stand.
