PLATINUM, WHAT IS IT AND WHY THE HECK WOULD I WANT THIS METALWhat is Platinum? Platinum is a chemical element with the symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It belongs to the noble metals group, which also includes palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, and ruthenium. Platinum is characterized by its high density, malleability, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. These unique properties make it an invaluable material for various industrial applications. Where is Platinum Found? While platinum is relatively scarce, it is not as rare as some other precious metals. The majority of the world's platinum supply comes from two main sources: primary production and recycling. South Africa is the leading producer of platinum, contributing significantly to the global supply. Russia, Zimbabwe, and Canada also have substantial platinum deposits. Platinum is often found alongside other minerals, such as nickel and copper, in ore deposits known as platinum group elements (PGE). Extracting platinum from these ores involves complex processes that require advanced mining and refining technologies. Why Would You Want Platinum? Jewelry and Luxury Goods: Platinum's brilliant white sheen and resistance to tarnish make it a popular choice for crafting high-end jewelry. Platinum jewelry is not only exquisite but also durable, making it an ideal choice for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine accessories. Catalytic Converters: The automotive industry extensively uses platinum in catalytic converters, where it plays a crucial role in reducing harmful emissions from vehicles. Its catalytic properties make it an essential component in promoting cleaner air and environmental sustainability. Electronics and Industry: Platinum is a key player in various industrial applications, including electronics, due to its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is used in the production of electrical contacts, laboratory equipment, and in the manufacturing of glass. Investment and Financial Markets: Platinum, like gold and silver, is considered a precious metal and is actively traded in financial markets. Some investors choose to include platinum in their portfolios as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties. Platinum mining is a challenging and complex process. Extracting platinum from the Earth involves several intricate steps, and the scarcity of platinum deposits adds to the difficulty of mining this precious metal. Here is an overview of the key challenges associated with platinum mining: Ore Extraction: Platinum is often found in combination with other metals, forming platinum group elements (PGE) deposits. Extracting platinum from these ores requires advanced mining techniques. The ores are typically low in concentration, making the extraction process more intricate than that of more abundant metals. Depth of Deposits: Many platinum deposits are located deep underground, which adds to the complexity and cost of mining. Deep-level mining requires specialized equipment and poses safety challenges for miners. In some cases, mines may extend kilometers below the Earth's surface. Energy Intensity: The extraction and refining of platinum involve energy-intensive processes. The high temperatures required for smelting and refining contribute to the overall energy consumption of platinum mining operations. Environmental Impact: Mining operations, especially in ecologically sensitive areas, can have significant environmental impacts. Platinum mining may result in habitat disruption, soil erosion, and water pollution. Sustainable mining practices and environmental regulations are essential to mitigate these effects. Labor Intensity: Mining platinum is a labor-intensive process that requires skilled workers. The complexity of the operations, coupled with safety considerations in deep-level mining, makes it essential to have trained personnel. Market Volatility: The platinum market is subject to price fluctuations, influenced by factors such as supply and demand dynamics, economic conditions, and geopolitical events. This volatility can impact the profitability of mining operations and investment decisions in the platinum industry. Technological Challenges: The extraction and processing of platinum ores require advanced technologies. Developing and implementing efficient and environmentally responsible mining technologies is an ongoing challenge for the industry. Despite these challenges, the demand for platinum in various industries, such as jewelry, automotive, and electronics, continues to drive the exploration and extraction of new platinum sources. Innovations in mining technologies and sustainable practices are being explored to address the difficulties associated with platinum mining and ensure its responsible and ethical extraction. THE TECHNICALS Sharp downtrend, weak, although down, it is a support trend. Two strong (one stronger than the other) support trends, IF UNDER, THEN BUY is probably the rule for those. It looks like there is some downside to come, which has been showing. The ideal price targets are thicker, and basically mean, under perfect conditions, I'd exit and enter at these levels, however, nothing is ever perfect. AS far as what the technicals say for price, I'd say there is a good chance it can maintain $800, however, there is a possible dip showing, which takes price down to $700. Again, these are both under or at major trends, and we can say that if price gets to these levels, I have a better than average chance at profit. AND if I'm wrong, I'm backed up by multiple support lines, which means less time in the red. Other scenario is where the bullish momentum keeps moving up at we head up to 1200 or so before hitting that huge dip. However, I tend to see this as the less likely option. RSI is showing the dip, along with various other indicators as coming in the short term and being backed up with support and buying in the longer term, this doesn't include a black swan event, which would theoretically take the price way down, and rocket to all time highs, as platinum will likely hold value. Good luck!! Personal opinion, I'm bullish long term from a fundamental side and technical side.

XPTUSD (Platinum) Trend Reversal ahead!Platinum is a rare but highly interesting metal, well suited for many use-cases. One use-case might be to open a short position. For about a week, OANDA:XPTUSD has formed higher lows on the 4h chart. On the other hand - momentum fell on Wednesday, then rose again but then took another dip. As a result of rising prices and falling momentum, we have a bearish divergence situation. This bearish divergence is an indication of a potential trend reversal. There are two indicators that support the hypothesis of a trend reversal: RSI was overbought and now keeps falling MACD is about to cross the signal line Of course, there's no guarantee but there are at least 3 signs (divergence, RSI oversold, MACD crossover) that usually occur when a trend is about to reverse. The profit target is the weekly pivot at around 903.232

Seasonal Long in PlatinumHey guys, there is an annual seasonal setup in Platinum which begins during the middle of December and extends until February/Early-March timeframe. The meat of the move seems to occur from end-December until mid/end-January though. While last years movement was fairly muted due to the weak capital markets, I am aiming for a $150/oz upside move this year. TP range is $1100-$1125 area. I scale into small longs vs. taking a single large position as the ranges in Platinum, can be quite large. You can also refer to this link for more info on the seasonal setup as well: auctusmetals.com

[MCX] Platinum Investment Idea Note - One of the best forms of Price Action is to not try to predict at all. Instead of that, ACT on the price. So, this chart tells at "where" to act in "what direction. Unless it triggers, like, let's say the candle doesn't break the level which says "Buy if it breaks", You should not buy at all. ======= I use shorthands for my trades. "Positional" - means You can carry these positions and I do not see sharp volatility ahead. (I tally upcoming events and many small kinds of stuff to my own tiny capacity.) "Intraday" -means You must close this position at any cost by the end of the day. "Theta" , "Bounce" , "3BB" or "Entropy" - My own systems. ======= I won't personally follow any rules. If I "think" (It is never gut feel. It is always some reason.) the trade is wrong, I may take reverse trade. I may carry forward an intraday position. What is meant here - You shouldn't follow me because I may miss updating. You should follow the system I share. ======= Like - Always follow a stop loss. In the case of Intraday trades, it is mostly the "Day's High". In the case of Positional trades, it is mostly the previous swings. I do not use Stop Loss most of the time. But I manage my risk with options as I do most of the trades using derivatives. =======

XPTUSD About to test the 1D MA200. Strong buy above it.Platinum (XPTUSD) is going quite well since our October 25 buy call (see chart below) as we caught the bottom and the price is now rebounding: The long term pattern is a Channel Up. At the moment the price is supported by the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) buy restrained below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) where it got rejected on November 28. Even though the bottom of the Channel Up was made and the 1D RSI patterns between the two sequences are similar, we need confirmation for upward extension by a break above the 1D MA200. If you didn't buy lower, you can wait until that level breaks, and then target the +28.55% range at $1100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Is Platinum Ready To Break Out?Looking at the technical picture of EASYMARKETS:XPTUSD on our daily chart, after reversing higher in mid-November, the commodity started forming higher lows. That said, it is struggling to build up higher highs, at the moment. However, that might change, if the price overshoots its key resistance area, roughly between the 944 and 952 levels. Until then, we will take a cautiously bullish stance. A break above the aforementioned resistance area would confirm a forthcoming higher high, potentially clearing the path towards higher hurdles, as more buyers might see this as a good opportunity to step in. We will then target the 989 and the 995 levels, which mark the highest points of August and July respectively. Alternatively, a break below a short-term tentative upside support line, drawn from the lowest point of November, could result in a further price drop, as it might spook some bulls from the field. Our next possible target could be the 890 zone, which is the current lowest point of December.

Decoding Market Trends: Platinum's Dance with AI-Predicted ShiftDear Esteemed TV Members, P latinum has been swaying within a bearish trend. However, insights from Support Vector Machines (SVMs) applied to daily candles suggest a potential weakening of this bearish momentum. This predictive analysis, coupled with a possible rising channel pattern on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicates that the bearish trend might be approaching its conclusion, paving the way for a potential shift towards a bullish scenario. S VMs, a formidable machine learning algorithm, serve a dual purpose in classification and regression tasks. In market analysis, SVMs are invaluable for identifying candlestick patterns, forecasting price momentum, and pinpointing crucial support and resistance levels. As per my SVMs, Platinum's price seems to be on the verge of entering a support zone, marked by the blue rectangle on the chart. This support zone could act as a catalyst, drawing in sufficient demand to instigate a reversal of the trend into a bullish trajectory. V isualizing this potential scenario, I've outlined it with blue arrows and proposed a long position in the chart. However, a word of caution: Should Platinum experience a downturn below the outlined demand zone (as indicated by the purple forecast), it would be prudent to steer clear of the long position. In such a scenario, an alternative bullish outlook may emerge, capitalizing on Platinum's oversold conditions—a phenomenon observed previously on March 19, 2020, and a possibility hinted at in the alternative blue forecast. Happy Trading! A crucial disclaimer accompanies this insight: This is not investment advice, and the responsibility for trading decisions rests solely with the individual. It's imperative to conduct thorough research, exercise caution, and embrace effective risk management strategies. Best regards, Ely

Is platinum planning its Bullrun!? ….Nobody has been talking about platinum… it had been consolidated and stopped in a same area since October 2015… and big drop went nearly below inside 570 area.. but then went back in a same zone again and again and this year again. What if it’s finally find its bottom in all of this time? Is it ready for a bullrun ? Last time it had a bullrun since 2008 and it had been 15 YEARS. 15 YEARS … Is it now time for a big bullrun of it is then highly suggest to buy it now. 2300 is the most recent ATH since 2008 on that bullrun.. if 880 area is the bottom all this time then made a huge dip from 570 area then it looked like could be ready for a bullrun. My profit take is 3500 if this really looks like a bullrun honestly it does to me when I found that upper trend line with that flat support zone in a same area

For sell or On sale??Looking for an entry within the next couple of days, considering that this is a metal, my stop is fairly tight 200 pips stop lol. However, after carefully taking steps to understand how markets fluctuate, at premium zones, I've decided to make my potential last trade of the year on xpt/usd. There are no fundamentals behind this...this is pure technical, lately I've shyed away from technical trading however I couldn't pass up how beautific this pair looked from a monthly stand point, price has retraced to my POI returning back to a monthly demand zone after a ChofC. I will set an buy limit for this zone on my metatrader 4. I'm not a financial advisor, don't not overleverage protect your account fool!!! Good luck!
