XPTUSD
Platinum about to lift off? These two markets look interesting together because of the similar price action. Notice how rice was in a descending triangle followed by a breakout. These are typically bearish patterns, but not always, clearly. I believe platinum is in the same consolidation phase before it breaks out. Notice it took rice approximately two years to break out from its established support. Platinum seems like it's on the verge of doing the same. I've seen some traders present shorting opportunities in platinum. I think that's a big mistake.
Other than that, what does platinum have to do with rice? I'd say nothing. There is no inverse or positive correlation whatsoever. Perhaps there is something more between the two, but that is not the point of the analysis.

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.
And now palladiumAfter travelling on the overbought region for some time, it seems XPDUSD is now ready to retrace. We just touched the 0,618 angle of the fib speed resistance and already heading south. First target on 0,5 angle around 620's coinciding with last peak, and secondary on the 0,382 on the 600's. Wait for your signal and enjoy the short.
All precious metals are on this same trend. Check my idea on XPTUSD and watch how XAUUSD will follow this week.
Platinum shortlooking for confirmation on a 3rd higher low of 3 in the XPTUSD bull run. Stop out level is higher than the first highest high as well as near R1 stop for monthly level. 1000 area has proven to be strong resistance. I would suggest a averaging in price of 995, ranging maybe from 990 to 1000 area for asks. I think the white triangle should play out to allow the 50 and 200 ema to get very close or maybe cross for a fakeout before at least more ranging if not a larger drop down.
