Long Position in Platinum from a well tested supportI am initiating a long position in Platinum futures at current prices which are well supported over the last several years. I think a long term bottom may form as the Platinum price is mainly driven by automobile industry and it is doing quite well recenlty. The position is taken with Reward to Risk ratio of 2.50 and can be kept even further!

Platinum Futures. Watching and Waiting to go LongPlatinum, along with gold and silver, have been in a decline for the past month (20 bars) with no reprieve in sight. We will be looking at previous S/R zone of 890-900 for entry points. Bottoming is usually a process and we never look to "pick the bottom". We've learned over the decades that that's a losing game with a negative ROI. We are merely examining which spots give us the highest probability and then use prudent risk/reward management to entry and exit trades with predefined stops and targets. Let's keep it simple.
Platinum - LongAlthough platinum is considered a safe haven, it also thrives in a productive economy.
This gives it a great chance to do well during 2017, as people will turn to precious metals during times of uncertainty (which there will be a lot of in 2017), and with Trump wanting to spend like crazy on industrials (emissions control amongst other uses), this could propel platinum.
We also received a bullish car sales report today, as an increase in car sales means more catalytic converters will need to be built, which requires platinum.
There is also bearish divergence in the RSI.
