palladium vs PlatinumTechnically speaking, platinum can be due for an uptrend. But could take months for it to show sign of uptrend.
The last great shortage fear-induced panic buying spree in palladium occurred in 2000-2001. (It was only last month when palladium finally took out its 2001 high.) Palladium's great bull market began quietly in 1997 at about $125/oz. Over the next four years, a cumulative 800% gain occurred.
By contrast, from 1997-2000, platinum went nowhere. It began trading at a discount to palladium in 2000.
By the time palladium prices peaked in 2001, platinum was sporting a $400 discount to its sister metal - the same as today.
What is next for platinum could be similar to what was next for it back then. By 2002, platinum prices caught up with palladium's. Platinum proceeded to embark on an epic bull market - from under $500/oz to over $2,200 when prices peaked in 2008.
PLATINUM BUYHi there. Price is in an uptrend. Wait for the price to form a continuation pattern and watch strong price action for buy. Platinum as gold and silver is inversely correlated to dollar, so more the dollar fall, platinum rise.
Don’t take a trade if you don’t see clearly when big guys are in.
XPTUSD: Pull back completed. Resuming the bearish trend.Platinum has nearly completed a 0.382 Fibonacci retracement (860.500) on the 1W chart (1029 Top - 756.500 Bottom) and the price should be technically ready to reverse again lower and follow the long term bearish trend. 4H has already developed a Channel Down (RSI = 43.280, Highs/Lows = -0.2893, B/BP = -3.7820) which may spread to 1D (also on Highs/Lows = -1.3214, B/BP = -2.800). 807.070 is the 1D support that needs to be crossed. Also watch for the Higher Low supporting lines (indicated in red). Short, TP = 792.940 and 756.550 in extension.
XPT/USD - Long Term ReversalXPT/USD has for the first time broken above the 200 EMA since the beginning of the year of 2018.
This is a good sign of long term reversal from a bearish trend to a bullish trend.
***We can expect it to move higher up if the current support above the 50 EMA on the 4 Hour holds strong.
Give it some more time for confirmation, and enter as it confirms its support and strength to move up.
Trade safe :)
Targets hit. New bearish pattern in development. Short.Both TP 878.128 and 852.737 in extension have been hit as the previous Channel Down on 1D even crossed our estimated 793.519 bottom. This break-out maintains our sentiment on a bearish path for Platinum as a new Channel Down is being developed on 1D (RSI = 41.648, MACD = -12.930, Highs/Lows = -6.5407, B/BP = -19.9240) seeking 740.000 as its next Lower Low. Only if 846.20 gets crossed, can we consider the probability of a trend reversal, as it will break the Lower High on the 1W Channel Down. Unless that happens, we will stay short on XPTUSD with new TP = 756.538 and 740.857 in extension.
