Platinum bullish breakout 2020Based on the price action, this could be one of the best years for platinum since 2007. A break of the confirmed downtrend line and close above it and 200SMA. For extra confirmation, waiting for the close above the $1000 level.
This could be a great long term trade for 2020, targeting $1700 at 61.8% fib level.
Commodities are very bullish at the moment due to brewing conflict between USA and Iran and there seems to be a real threat of war in the air. Investors will seek commodities as safe havens in case of full military action. Not the best start of the new decade...
Good Luck!
Platinum Top on the Way..Commercial producers in Platinum have been heavy sellers in the NYMEX contract lately. This action typically bodes poorly for Platinum prices shortly thereafter. Once the commercials get down to -50k contracts, this can be a good signal to short. Using this weeks "Eskom Power Shortage" news to open a new short position on the NYMEX PL contract.
In times passed, any news relating to a South African miner's strike or a Eskom Power issue typically results in a 2-3 day price jump which is short lived as the producers come in to sell it back down. Will add additional contracts every $10 higher. Profit target is when the commercials have covered contracts (or have delivered metal) back into the -20k range which likely means the $780 to $800 range.
We hit XPT with 944. What's next?After our successful plan last time and hit even more than we anticipated. So what now? Our short term plan is to have a small correction as low as 915. Then we go up again for the midterm. As Platinum is quite volatile, short term against the main trend is very risky so we refrain from entering it.
With low leverage, it can be tried like this:
Entry: 935
Stop: 944
Final target: 919.
Remember that the bigger time-frames signal us that it will surge but the likelihood of correction before moving up is pretty high.
PLATINUM PLAY WITH PENGUINS TOO ;) XPTUSD 14/12/2019
Hello Traders!

It is easy, all you need to do is to collect the hearts and watch for the pig and thunder signs.
Targets are marked on the chart as a crosshair.
Heart in the box - a place to jump in/out
Sign with exclamation mark - places to be aware of a few different types of reactions from this level
Target sign - the first target to focus on
Thunder sign - spot to react - possible jump to push into reversal
Penguin - expected direction
Have fun with it, and remember - this game is about the patience. Keep yourself cool, whilst not being greedy.

XPT long entryWith the issues in South Africa ongoing, and the generally bullishness in the wider PM market (even if gold and silver are taking a breather here) this may be a good entry.
There has been a habit of lower highs and lower los since September when the initial PM bull run backed off a bit so a conservative target for XPT is around $950, more aggressively the $982 figure is also a possibility.
A stop at $860 or so is generous, but a tighter stop just under the 200 day moving average around $871 is also reasonable.
Platinum (XPTUSD): Bullish Megaphone towards a new Higher High.Platinum posted a strong rebound on the 871.00 October 2nd low and is currently rising on 1D (RSI = 62.934, MACD = 2.660, Highs/Lows = 16.6714) towards a new Higher High. The Higher High is designated by the 1M Megaphone pattern it has been trading within since August 2018. The 1D RSI patterns suggest that a new bullish leg may start without needing to make a Higher Low. Our Target Zone is 1,020 - 1,040.
Keep in mind that XPTUSD has just initiated its new multiyear Bull Cycle, and we consider it a top investment in the coming years, a matter we analyzed on our long term analysis below:
