In the Silver options market, we're seeing a flurry of activity centered around the June 25 expiration series, particularly at the 35th strike. This activity is primarily resales, with the options being sold at a higher price than their original purchase. The uptick in silver prices is driving this buying interest, with round numbers like 35, 40, and 45 being popular in commodity markets. However, there are a couple of interesting points to note:
1/The previous owners are locking in profits due to the rising value of the options, 35 days before expiration. In other words, they're not banking on further growth and are eager to sell to interested buyers.
2/ he nature of these new purchases suggests that they're mostly being made by small-scale speculators.
In conclusion, the high activity in the options market suggests that a correction in Silver prices might be on the horizon. It might be wise to hold off on going long, as it could be a case of "better late than never."
