Platinum
PLATINUM BIG BULLISH POTENTIAL FOR A 300$ RISE!As usual the chart tells the story.
In 2016 we had a 5 wave impulsive move higher from a multiyear low @ 810$. Signalling that this low is important and solid for now.
Since august platin prices have been in a 5 wave downmove the lows of wave 5 touched 890$.
It then took the market 2 months to form a decent bottom around the 900$ handle.
Now in the recent days market made an impulsive move higher towards the 1000$ mark. This impuls is for me a signal to look for longs. I am personally waiting for a good correction of this recent move towards 920$/930$ and i will look at lower timeframes for a good entry spot.
What also speaks in the favor of this idea, are seasonal developments, historically seen, platinum has the best price development from january till the end of april, so this might be the timeframe needed for this idea to play out.
Targets can be defined quite easily there are two major falling trendlines on the weekly and monthly charts. The first one is around 1100$ and the second one around 1250$. My trading style personally says to trail a position as long as it looks good to me and to take off partial profits along the way on important resistance zones.
This idea has a potential Risk:Reward of 1:5 and 1:10. Keep an eye on this potential AB=CD formation that might be playing out along the way.
Please use proper risk management, and dont risk too much of your capital on one single trade.
Best of luck.
Platinum - LongAlthough platinum is considered a safe haven, it also thrives in a productive economy.
This gives it a great chance to do well during 2017, as people will turn to precious metals during times of uncertainty (which there will be a lot of in 2017), and with Trump wanting to spend like crazy on industrials (emissions control amongst other uses), this could propel platinum.
We also received a bullish car sales report today, as an increase in car sales means more catalytic converters will need to be built, which requires platinum.
There is also bearish divergence in the RSI.

The triangle's borders are marked with the yellow lines. The cyan line is my potential entry level. The green line denotes my take-profit level.

New Bull Starting in Platinum?A few interesting points about XPTUSD and why it might be time to look at long positions:
1. 7-Year cycle in XPTUSD is bottoming out right now.
2. We are seeing a backtest of the initial breakout similar to what happened in 2000-2001
3. XPTUSD production is going to see major cutbacks moving forward from South Africa
4. Above ground stocks are winding down which has put extreme pressure on prices for the last 4 years
5. Should the DYX fail to breakout decisively over 102 before the end of 2016, then the ZARUSD could strengthen.
Platinum Makes UptrendPlatinum has been pretty wild for the past few days. True, it is still lower than heck on the daily, but notice how the hourly has started an uptrend. This could be a chance in on the ground floor before a large move upward if the support line holds. Price action is yet to confirm.
