I would really appreciate it if you could go into more detail. I know a decent bit about silver, fiat, central bank shenanigans etc, but I am just now starting to learn about the specifics of commodity speculation shenanigans. I kind of understand the basics, but if you could break it down for those of us who barely understand how long/short/leveraged day trading works, I would really appreciate it.

Just to be clear:
I am not in any way interested in any kind of paper silver, I hold physical, but I would like to understand more about the market manipulation so I can better understand what the fuck is going on when the spot price fluctuates up and down by $4.00 in the middle of the night.
I get that people who put money on a short position are betting that the price will go down, and that people who put money on a long position are betting that the price will go up.
What is the purpose of the banks fucking up both positions one right after the other though?
I guess that since the official open and close are close, that they wouldn't have to deliver much if any. And that the fluctuation fucked up some people's game.
Beyond that though I don't really understand what their game is/was with that maneuver.
Thanks fren!
