XPTUSD1! trade ideas
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!).

With all the guaranteed advice for buy by proffesional analysts over the internet right now... I would rather wait with buying for couples of weeks from now...
PlatinumConvincing looking bounce off the 50% retrace. Am watching to see if this retakes the failed double bottom around $10.47 and 100DMA for confirmation of a long back to $11+
Platinum Double Bottom ?Likes W shapes and double bottoms. Looks like we might have another which would give a long trade to around $1160 from here.

1206 : 2nd Target
1265 : 3rd Target
938 : Invalidation Stop
Warning : Trading involves risks. Be careful to trade only a small amount of your capital on each trade.
Platinum Longfollow up to post from a few days ago. First target of $11.07 hit. Long now to $11.81 to retest the long-term resistance. I suspect it will form an inverse H&S upon hitting that resistance to build strength for potential higher move still.
Platinum LongHeld the 100DMA support (just). Closed well above it however on Friday, stochastic RSI floored but turning nicely. I'd go long here to the Fib at $11.07. Pop a stop on just below the 100DMA just to be safe.
Platinum - Head over ShouldersDear Community,
today we have a quite interesting setup concerning Platinum. It is actually more a possible- than an expected setup but still worth mentioning.
As you can see in the chart we are expecting the formation of a SHOULDER - HEAD - SHOULDER formation, highlighted in red semi-circles. If this scenario kicks in, we could easily dip deep into the intermediate target zone at around $960. However, there is a very good chance that, if all clicks into place, it will fall through the intermediate zone, following our optimal scenario and therefore primary target ay $811.
If you follow us on our premium analysis you will know that we have opened a short position a few days back, aiming for the intermediate and hopefully the primary target. It looks good so far but we need to keep an eye on it for sure.
Good luck.
Platinum Futures Weekly Continuation ChartI like the inverse head and shoulders in the weekly continuation chart in platinum, of all the metals, this one looks to be the most promising going forward. Good support around 1100-1105. A break of 1200 could set the next target at 1300
Platinum. Retrace Complete.Retraced all the way back to H&S neckline. Assuming this continues to hold then long pattern sustained.
