Platinum Breaks Out Strongly, Above $1000Platinum has broken out above $1000, in futures and cash trading
during the last week of trading, and is holding support on a retest above that important big number.
Commercials have been net short according to the Commitment of Traders,
so the move above $1000 has forced some big money traders to start covering their bets.
I am long platinum with PPLT, the Platinum Cash ETF,
and would use any declines back towards $1000,
to accumulate additional long position in this very precious metal.
Keep in mind,Platinum moves very quickly,
when size, or big money is added to the trade, in an otherwise thin market.
A breakout above $1016, from the "Base Pattern: building above $1000
could soon move Platinum back towards the January High near $1040

Platinum Jan entries (new strategy compared to old strategy)Trade 1
Target is 2 x the size of the candle (this strategy already appears to be more successful) = 973.8
entry is 1/3 of the size of the candle =958.2
stop order = 956.8
Trade 2
Target = 999.4
entry 983.5
stop order = 975.2
Trade 3
Target = 988.2
entry = 979.2
stop order =973.5
Although the targets are smaller, they are easier to accumulate over the time period, as they have all succeeded. Using pips will also be easier to analyse when it comes to my monthly profit/loss analysis.
---------------------------------------------------------
I stuck to my original strategy. I already appear to be struggling to achieve my target. Perhaps from now on I should stick to a no. of pips based target than a % based target.
Trade 4
Entry = 1002.2
Stop Order =994.1
Target (4%) = 1040.4
The reason why I placed such a high target was that the trend was so bullish, 3% was already achieved by the succeeding candlestick, I therefore increased my target by an extra 1%.
I also indicated other suitable entries. Platinum is certainly an area I will take a great deal of interest in.

Platinum struggles with $1000 levelI've been watching the $1000 level in #platinum since the Sept blow-off. This morning we ticked that level, plus the top of the channel, and we are getting a hard rejection (shooting star candle so far). Big supply area. Needs a hard break above $1000 before next big move. $PL
Lets see what happens with Platinum Commercials were in very heavy short positions. Now we are back to the zone before they got long before. Will this price interest them? Lets see if we can beat them this COT Friday..
IMO.... This is just a small bounce in a longer downtrend. Though this time last year we were very close to 1000. So I am torn.In the meantime- I will surly play the counter trade opportunities.

Platinum: Top investment for the coming years.In our search for solid long term investments in the coming years we have decided to share our long term outlook on Platinum.
Technically it recently broke above a 3 year Falling Wedge turning bullish on the monthly chart an effect that has since receded as it pulled back on the 1,000 mark (RSI = 50.285, MACD = -8.660, ADX = 25.926, Highs/Lows = 11.4571).
If the 1W MA50 holds this pull back and another spike prints a Golden Cross, then we may come across a unique multi year buy opportunity on Platinum as most parameters will be similar to the late 90's Golden Cross pattern when the metal entered a hyper strong Bull Cycle. The target will be 2-3 times the initial value.
We wish to add at this point that Platinum has fairly reliable pointers both on the short and long term and thanks to that most of our latest XPTUSD signals have met their target on high quality patterns. You can get an idea of those below:

Platinum Futures Bounce Off Long Term Level Platinum futures just successfully tested a 33 year old support/resistance level at $650-$800. Price is moving hard now (allegedly on China stimulus news) and a challenge of the ~$1,200 area in the next weeks to months looks highly plausible. Entering a long now isn't optimal, but a pullback towards or below $800 is much better.
Platinum- The rocket you wish you hopped on. After slicing the charts 100x different ways I am extremely bullish. Some of these targets are far out of reality, and don't make sense. By 2025 it will. But for the time being the gains shown are just approximations of where price will be somewhere in time. I did not incorporate how long it would take to get there. This is by no means financial advice, just some thoughts on a PRECIOUS metal thats a SAFE HAVEN, called PRECIOUS METAL, and they are PRECIOUS. For oh SO many reasons.
