Dave Erfle – Massive Swings In Gold & Silver: Navigating the Correction and Rebound

Cory
February 3, 2026

 

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we are joined by Dave Erfle, founder and editor of the Junior Miner Junky, to break down one of the most volatile weeks in recent precious metals history. After a parabolic run in January, the sector faced a massive Friday washout that left many investors questioning the trend. Dave provides his insights on risk management, technical support levels, and why this “gentleman’s entry” might be the reset the market needed before the next leg higher.

 

Key Discussion Points:

  • Market Volatility and Technical Corrections: Dave analyzes the massive volume spikes in GDX and GDXJ, explaining why a 20% correction in gold and a 40% move in silver are actually healthy resets within a broader bull market.
  • Silver Stocks and Leverage Dynamics: A look at the SIL and SILJ ratios to silver itself reveal that silver miners have lagged behind the metal, and we discuss why the upcoming Q4 earnings season could trigger a massive sector re-rating.
  • M&A Trends and Copper’s Growing Role: From Eldorado Gold’s acquisition of Foran Mining to Zijin Mining’s move on Allied Gold, we explore why major producers are aggressively hunting for base and precious metal assets.

    In 3 months Microsoft has lost $764 billion, still a fair amount of money. They say Microsoft is the beginning of the coming tech crash. Nvidia is my favorite stock to watch but it only lost a paltry $147 billion today. It has to do a lot better than that. LOL! DT

    My silver miner portfolio ended the day up more than silver by about 1.5%, so I was whining about nothing earlier today.

    That being said, with silver up 7.5% they should have been up even more. hahahaha
