XAGUSD hovering near $60 after that 6% beatdown. How are you playing this level?

Man, silver really got hammered this week. We just watched XAG drop nearly 6% over the last few days, trading right around $60.50 after another red close. Friday's price action was super weird with US yields creeping up and keeping the dollar supported even after that soft jobs report dropped. It definitely feels like the bears are crowding around this $60 handle trying to push it right over the edge.

NGL, I'm trying to figure out if this $60 level is going to act as a strong demand zone or if order flow is about to trigger a massive liquidity flush below it. Looking at the charts, a clean break here could open up the gates for a much deeper pullback, especially with macro yields refusing to back down. On the flip side, we might be setting up for a solid mean-reversion scalp if buyers step in to defend the psychological big figure.

How are you guys reading the tape right now? Are you waiting for a confirmed breakdown below $60 to short, or looking to catch a bounce here?

Playing it? I'm sitting on my hands, honestly. Everyone's acting like silver is some magic inflation hedge, but have you looked at the real yields lately? The Fed isn't done yet, and sticky inflation means higher-for-longer is actually happening. Every time silver tries to catch a bid near these highs, it just gets taken out back and beaten. Not touching this until the macro picture stops looking like a total dumpster fire for commodities.
