COMEX Silver Continues to Fluctuate, Market Sentiment Remains "Panic"
Source: Gold Investment Network
Today, Thursday (March 12) during the Asian session, COMEX silver is currently trading below the 85.91 level. It opened today at $86.06/oz. As of press time, comex silver is temporarily reported at $85.47/oz, down 0.51%, with a session high of $86.06/oz and a low of $84.06/oz. For now, comex silver shows a short-term bearish tendency in the intraday market.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced on Wednesday (March 11) that its 32 member states will coordinate the release of 400 million barrels of strategic oil reserves, marking the largest emergency release in the agency's history.
However, oil prices rose instead of falling: during Thursday's Asian session, US crude oil prices fluctuated higher, currently trading near $92.80 per barrel, with an intraday increase of about 6.4%. The market is evidently skeptical about the effectiveness of the release, believing it cannot truly offset the supply shock caused by any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
The largest release action in IEA history itself is seen as a strong signal of the severity of the supply crisis. The market views this as an indication that institutions do not believe the US-Iran war will end soon.
Market sentiment remains in "panic mode," with geopolitical uncertainty and supply gap concerns dominating pricing. The IEA's action is seen as a "signal rather than a solution."
Silver is showing greater weakness, with the gold-silver ratio rising to around 60:1, indicating that industrial demand for silver is more evidently squeezed by high oil prices in the short term. On the daily chart, silver prices are currently near the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, which are showing signs of narrowing, suggesting that the forces of bulls and bears are relatively balanced and the market may continue a range-bound movement in the short term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently near 50, also indicating a relatively balanced market. Watch for support at $84.00 or $82.50 below, and resistance at $86.80 or $88.40 above.

Stop Using the Consumer Cycle to Analyze Micron (MU.US)! AI is Redefining NAND Logic, Enterprise SSDs Have Taken Over Pricing Power
Eudaemon Research previously assessed that within Micron's business structure, DRAM is more resilient than NAND, and that NAND prices and demand would return to normal faster. However, Micron's latest Q4 financial data has led them to revise this view: NAND is no longer a homogeneous market, and the supply-demand and pricing dynamics of consumer-grade NAND and enterprise-level data center SSDs are clearly diverging.
Micron's target price is significantly raised by investment banks, with a maximum of 3,000 USD
DA Davidson has raised Micron's target price to $3,000, implying a 176% upside from the current share price. The core logic is that the AI-driven memory supercycle will continue until 2028, with the supply-demand gap widening further. The key variable lies in the shift of demand—buyers are transitioning from smaller, high-default-risk clients to tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Micron has already secured $150 billion in remaining contractual obligations.
