TPLM1! trade ideas
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.
Platinum at key levelPlatinum "broke" its down trend recently, but it had a dramatic 2 day pullback to the base of the breakout. It is unclear whether the recent upswing was just a mildly longer pullback (see figure for pullback amounts) which will result in another drop in price or whether this is profit taking from the recent upswing.
A break below 930 indicates a continuation of the downtrend. A bounce off the 943 level indicates a new uptrend. These are confirmation signals, but what if you want to enter the trade sooner? See below.
What type of trader are you?
1. The 976 level could be a "loose" neckline (it could be drawn lower of course) to a head and shoulders pattern that had an absurdly abbreviated right shoulder (excellent short signal!)
2. Since the breakout coincided with both the 200 day EMA and the previous low of the downtrend, there is expected to be hard resistance and a pullback before a solid breakout (go long!).
