Platinum trade idea, for the trade war ($XPT)The idea is that platinum would move between the two-blue line (these are recent daily support and resistance lines). It looks like Platinum founds its bottom and is ready to move up, to the price level of 1020 (which might be a recent resistance line of the weekly) , even do the RSI has not yet curved up it is clearly oversold on the daily.
But last Friday candle shows a bullish sign.
When the situation comes that coming week, the price will fall, there is are strong resistance zone between 893.7 (the weekly support line) and 901,37 (the daily support line). (If this break, it hits my stop loss).
I assume, because of the coming trade war, commodities like gold and platinum will be a save heaven for investors.
My targets are:
1: 1020
2: 1092
3: 1159
Stop loss, below the 890
****This is not an investment advice, this is just a random thought and want to test my own hypothesis of the coming trade war, feel free to comment and join this trade, but remember never invest more than you can lose*****

XPT/USD - 500 Pips ShortXPT/USD is currently in a bearish free falling trend.
No retaliation has yet been met. We can expect it to continue further below until a strong support and consolidation is undergoing which would mark it's reversal point.
Risk management is an important pillar of trading succesfully.
Wish you all the best!
King of the MetalsI have published previously on the silver/gold ratio. Silver is bound to outperform gold over time. The question is whether platinum will outperform silver and gold, or underperform both metals. Watch the dotted line for a breakout. If anyone has interesting research on platinum please post in comments below or pm me (fundamental or historical is preferred).
954 is technical resistance in platinum. Watch current level.
PLATINUM/XPTUSD - D - LONG - TDII've always liked minerals and raw materials. Maybe I will focus more on commodities in the future.
I believe this is a good setup for PLatinum. We have a SL below latest low, that is not too far. We had a breakout on 4H, that should slow down a bit but not so much and then we can go to the sky.

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.
Platinum setting up for new move up on weeklyWeekly Platinum is consolidating setting up for a breakout to the upside. Looking at current support at 886.8xx. If support holds at this area, price should continue up based on rhythm of TRIX and TSI.
Monthly TSI and TRIX are turning up. A breakout of price from current weekly consolidation looks to be to upside.

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.
