Platinum: Breaking the Supply Barrier?I'm adding a second Platinum position. Price has hit a strong weekly supply area, also a significant monthly supply zone. I'm anticipating a reversal here, as non-commercial holdings are decreasing, and seasonal patterns suggest a potential trend change. To further capitalize on potential upside, I've placed a pending order above the primary supply zone, at a slightly higher, but still relevant. These are older, established and fresh supply zones. (Note: Reducing the chart size may help to better visualize the long-term significance of these overlapping areas.) ✅ Please share your thoughts about PL1! in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis. Don't forget to FOLLOW ME; you will help us a lot with this small contribution.

Gold Market Update and Recommended Strategy bulls/bears📉 Gold Holds Steady ~$3,354/oz Moderate USD strength and tariff-driven safe‑haven buying have kept gold anchored in the $3,330–$3,360 zone. 🤝 Trade & Tariff Influence Tariff headlines—from Canada’s 35% rate to broader threats—have supported gold by boosting safe‑haven demand heading into U.S. CPI. 📊 Technical Watch Testing resistance at $3,360; full breakout above $3,342–$3,360 opens path to $3,400–$3,500. Support sits at $3,330–$3,322 (20‑day EMA); breach risks pickup in short‑term bearish momentum. 💼 U.S. Macro & Fed Cues Inflation data (June CPI due July 15) and Fedspeak ahead of the July blackout window are set to define next directional moves. 🌍 Central Bank Insight World central banks are stockpiling gold at record rates, creating a bullish backdrop. ⚖ Range‑Bound Outlook Expect gold to drift between $3,330–$3,360 near‑term, with upside if tariff/CPI triggers materialize. 📉 Short‑Term Bias Neutral‑to‑bullish; momentum indicators are calm but could shift quickly on macro surprises. 📈 Med‑Term Outlook Bullish Ongoing central bank demand, trade dynamics, and macro fundamentals still favor a gradual move toward $3,500+. ⭐ Updated Strategy Recommendations Accumulate on dips near $3,330–$3,320. Watch resistance at $3,360–$3,400 for profit‑taking or breakout buying opportunities. Bears may focus on selling rallies near the upper range.

XPTUSD 1W:While Everyone Watches Gold, Platinum Quietly Wakes UpGold gets the headlines — but platinum just broke two years of silence with a clean, high-volume breakout from a symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart. And this isn’t noise — this is the structural shift traders wait for. Price has been coiled inside a compressing wedge since early 2022. Equal highs. Equal lows. Stop hunts both ways. The classic “shake out before take off.” Now? The breakout is in. And the weekly candle closed above resistance with volume confirmation. Oh, and while we're at it — the 50MA just crossed above the 200MA, signaling a long-term trend reversal. Target? Measure the triangle height: ~398 points. That projects a breakout target of 1440 USD, which aligns perfectly with previous institutional rejection zones. But this isn’t just about the chart. 🔹 South Africa, the top global supplier, is struggling with energy and production cuts; 🔹 The Fed is pausing rate hikes — the dollar weakens, metals rally; 🔹 Demand from hydrogen tech, clean energy, and industrial catalysts is on the rise. Translation? Smart money has been accumulating. The move from 965–1070 was just the ignition. The drive hasn’t started yet. So while everyone fights over gold highs, platinum sits at the base of a move no one's prepared for — except those who know how accumulation ends. 🧭 Key support: 965–985 📍 Resistance zone: 1150–1180 🎯 Measured target: 1440+

Gold Market Update: Bulls Will target 3750 USD after 3500 USD🏆 Gold Market Mid-Term Update (June 19, 2025) 📊 Price & Technical Outlook Current Spot Price: ~$3,365 Technical Setup Inverted H&S pattern forming/completed on higher timeframes — confirms bullish reversal structure. Reload (buy) zone: $3,250–$3,275 (ideal accumulation range for bulls if price pulls back). Swing trade setup: Entry: $3,250–$3,275 (reload zone) Take Profit (TP): $3,750 Support: Major at $3,250–$3,275 (break below = reassess bullish bias). Resistance: $3,450–$3,500 ; next major resistance: $3,600, then $3,750. Price consolidating above $3,250–$3,350 is technically healthy — maintaining bullish structure. 🏆 Bull Market Overview The pullback appears complete; uptrend resumes amid strong macro/geopolitical drivers (inflation, rates, safe haven flows). Key Levels: $3,000 (macro support), $3,250 (bulls must defend), $3,500 (breakout zone), $3,750 (swing TP). Short-term dips = buying opportunities — “Buy the Dip” remains favored as long as support holds. Upside targets: Immediate: $3,600 Swing target: $3,750 Summary: Gold remains in a bullish mid-term structure, with the inverted H&S pattern pointing to higher prices ahead. Bulls look to reload at $3,250–$3,275, targeting $3,750 for swing trades. As long as $3,180–$3,200 holds, buying dips is the play. A sustained breakout above $3,400–$3,600 opens the door for new all-time highs.

Update of the Bullish/Bearish Catalysts for Gold prices________________________________________ ⚡️ Gold’s Pullback: A Reset, Not the End After peaking above $3,500/oz in April, gold’s slide back toward $3,210 marks a sharp—but not unusual—correction. What’s changed in the gold narrative? The rapid unwinding of panic bids as the Fed stays hawkish, the dollar flexes, and risk appetite returns. But beneath the surface, multiple structural drivers—old and new—are shaping gold’s next act. ________________________________________ 1. Fed “Higher for Longer” Policy Bias (9/10) Still the #1 driver. With inflation sticky and the U.S. labor market robust, the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to cut rates (4.25–4.50%) is pinning real yields near multi-year highs. This erodes the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold, particularly for Western investors. 🦅 Watch for any dovish shift—a single Fed pivot could reignite gold fast. ________________________________________ 2. U.S. Dollar Resilience (8.5/10) The DXY recently surged above 101, buoyed by relative U.S. growth outperformance and ongoing EM weakness. Since gold is dollar-priced, a strong greenback makes gold more expensive for non-dollar buyers, crimping global demand. 💵 Sustained dollar strength could push gold closer to $3,100 unless countered by inflation or new geopolitical stress. ________________________________________ 3. Central Bank Buying & “De-Dollarization” Flows (8/10) This is the new wild card. Countries like China, India, Turkey, and Russia are accelerating gold reserves accumulation—partly to hedge against dollar-centric sanctions and diversify away from U.S. Treasuries. Q2 2025 data shows a 35% jump in net central bank purchases year-on-year. 🏦 This bid underpins the gold market even when ETFs and retail are sellers. ________________________________________ 4. U.S.–China Trade Normalization (7.5/10) The May 2025 Geneva agreement was a big de-risking event. While tariffs haven’t vanished, steady progress on tech and agriculture reduces tail risk for global trade, putting downward pressure on gold’s safe-haven premium. 🌏 Any breakdown or tariff surprise could quickly reverse this. ________________________________________ 5. Algorithmic & Quant Trading Flows (7/10) Gold’s volatility is now heavily influenced by systematic funds. CTA (commodity trading advisor) and quant-driven selling accelerated the recent drop once $3,300 was breached. This non-fundamental selling creates overshoots—but also sharp reversals on technical bounces. 🤖 Expect snapbacks when positioning reaches extremes. ________________________________________ 6. U.S.–U.K. & EU Trade Deals (6.5/10) Both deals have reduced the global uncertainty premium. While the economic impact is moderate, improved global relations have pushed capital into equities and away from gold. 🇬🇧 Keep an eye on political risk, especially if new tariffs or Brexit-related shocks re-emerge. ________________________________________ 7. India–Pakistan and Middle East Geopolitical Risks (6.5/10) Tensions have cooled, but remain a latent driver. The India–Pakistan border saw restraint in May; Iran–U.S. talks are “cautiously positive.” Any surprise flare-up, especially involving oil, can quickly restore gold’s safe-haven bid. 🕊️ Event-driven spikes likely, but not sustained unless escalation persists. ________________________________________ 8. ETF Flows, Retail & Institutional Demand (6/10) ETF inflows have slowed sharply in 2025, but central bank and Asian buying partly offset this. U.S. retail interest has faded due to higher Treasury yields, but any sign of real rates rolling over could spark new inflows. 📈 ETF demand is now more a symptom than a cause of price moves. ________________________________________ 9. Technological Demand & Jewelry Trends (5.5/10) Longer-term, gold’s use in electronics, EVs, and green tech is rising modestly (up ~3% YoY). Indian and Chinese jewelry demand—seasonally soft now—could rebound late 2025 if income and sentiment recover. 📿 Not a short-term driver, but a steady tailwind in the background. ________________________________________ 10. Fiscal Risk & U.S. Debt Sustainability (5.5/10) Rising concerns about the U.S. debt trajectory, especially if deficits widen or the U.S. nears a shutdown or downgrade, can trigger flight-to-quality bids for gold. This is not the main driver now, but is a key “black swan” risk if Treasury auctions stumble. 💣 Could move up the list rapidly on negative headlines. ________________________________________ 🌐 Other Catalysts to Watch: • Israel – Iran tensions in the Middle East – limited impact on gold prices. • Crypto Market Volatility (5/10): Periods of sharp crypto drawdowns have triggered some rotation into gold, but the correlation is inconsistent. • Chinese Real Estate Stress (5/10): Signs of further slowdown or crisis (e.g., major developer defaults) could boost gold as a defensive play in Asia. • Physical Supply Disruptions (4/10): Mine strikes, export restrictions, or transport bottlenecks can create localized price spikes, but rarely move the global market for long. ________________________________________ 🏆 2025 Gold Catalyst Rankings (with Impact Scores) Rank Catalyst Strength/10 Current Impact Direction Notes 1 Fed “Higher for Longer” Policy 9.0 Very High Bearish Key yield driver 2 U.S. Dollar Resilience 8.5 Very High Bearish Hurts non-USD demand 3 Central Bank & “De-Dollarization” Buying 8.0 High Bullish Structural support 4 U.S.–China Trade Normalization 7.5 High Bearish De-risks global trade 5 Algorithmic/Quant Trading Flows 7.0 High Bearish Magnifies volatility 6 U.S.–U.K./EU Trade Deals 6.5 Moderate Bearish Risk appetite rising 7 India–Pakistan/Mideast Geopolitics 6.5 Moderate Neutral Event risk 8 ETF, Retail & Institutional Flows 6.0 Moderate Bearish Trend follower 9 Tech/Jewelry Physical Demand 5.5 Low Bullish Seasonal uptick possible 10 U.S. Debt/Fiscal Sustainability 5.5 Low Bullish Potential tail risk 11 Crypto Market Volatility 5.0 Low Bullish Risk-off flows (sometimes) 12 China Property Crisis 5.0 Low Bullish Asian safe-haven buying 13 Physical Supply Disruptions 4.0 Very Low Bullish Rare but possible ________________________________________ 🚦Where Next for Gold? • Current price: ~$3,210/oz • Key support: $3,150/oz • Key upside triggers: A dovish Fed surprise, sharp dollar reversal, sudden geopolitical event, or central bank “buying spree.” • Risks: Extended strong dollar, yield spike, no escalation of global risks. ________________________________________ Summary Table: 2025 Gold Price Catalysts Comparison Catalyst 2024 Score 2025 Score Change Impact Direction (2025) Commentary Fed Rate Policy 9 9 – Bearish Unchanged, still dominant U.S. Dollar 8 8.5 ↑ Bearish Gained in strength Central Bank Buying 7 8 ↑ Bullish Grown in importance, especially in Asia U.S.-China Trade 7.5 7.5 – Bearish Still relevant, deal holding for now Algorithmic/Quant Flows 6 7 ↑ Bearish Systematic trading influence is rising Geopolitics (excl. Russia/Ukraine) 6 6.5 ↑ Neutral Slight increase, mostly latent risks ETF/Institutional Flows 5 6 ↑ Bearish Slower, but still influential Jewelry/Tech Demand 4.5 5.5 ↑ Bullish Tech/jewelry more important now U.S. Debt/Fiscal Risk 5 5.5 ↑ Bullish Gaining attention with deficit concerns Crypto Market Volatility 4 5 ↑ Bullish Correlation growing, but inconsistent China Property Risk N/A 5 NEW Bullish Added due to emerging Asian risk Physical Supply Disruption 3.5 4 ↑ Bullish Minor, only spikes on rare events ________________________________________ 🥇 Bottom Line: Gold’s retreat reflects a rebalancing of risk and yield, but the stage is set for sudden moves—especially if the Fed blinks, the dollar falters, or new shocks emerge. The top three catalysts (Fed, Dollar, Central Bank buying) are especially worth watching as we head into the second half of 2025.

Despite ongoing supply restrictions PPLT trendsAs uncertainty in US equity and job future rises a trend appears in precious metals and bonds. The demand for natural resources continues to grow despite tariff concerns. Trumps PGM policies threatened to shake the market, however, majority of platinum is mined in countries with less strict tariff restrictions and even in the US.; infact, South Africa is the largest producer of platinum with Zimbabwe holding significant reserves, Russia is also a leading force. In addition to Canada- where an independent researcher Jayanth Chennamangalam is exploring the legalities of an exploration to mine platinum in space from craters on the moon. Both PPLT and PLTM have seen resent up growth, trying to push back to their highs of the early 2020s. I have taken the mean of 7 angles representing our highest and lowest points at approx 50°or greater and attached it to our new low- the cross section of this angle and the resistance point drawn from our all time high estimate we are ahead of schedule for reaching our all time high in Sept 2025. "Within our updated palladium forecasts to 2029f, we expect market deficits to last until 2027f (previously 2025f) before market surpluses gradually build from 2028f. Given ongoing uncertainties, this report does not fully capture the impact of Trump’s policies on PGM demand, but we do not expect them to be of sufficient magnitude to materially change the platinum and palladium deficits laid out herein. " (platinuminvestment.com) We could have anticipated this upcoming growth by paying close attention to the K line cross and divergence on our Stochastic oscillator (14,3,3).

Platinum 10 years accumulation 2 000 USD Overview of Catalysts Here’s a detailed look at the top 10 key catalysts influencing platinum prices—and how they stack up on a 0–10 impact scale 🎯. 1. Supply Deficits (Mining Shortfalls) ⛏️ Trend: Persistent structural deficits—the largest since 2013—with a projected deficit of \~598 koz in 2024. Drivers: Declining output in South Africa and Russia, underinvestment, and aging mines. Impact Score: 10/10 – Direct upward pressure on price. 2. Industrial Demand & Green-Energy Growth 🏭 Trend: Industrial consumption is booming, with strong growth in sectors like wind turbines, glass, and electronics. Support: This broad demand fuels a large part of the supply deficit, and goes well beyond automotive use. Impact Score: 9/10 – Strong structural support. 3. Auto Catalyst Substitution (Pd → Pt) 🔄 Trend: Cost-effective substitution as platinum approaches price parity with palladium; significant volume was substituted in 2023, with more projected for 2024. Significance: Boosts automotive demand in an area previously dominated by palladium. Impact Score: 8/10. 4. Electric Vehicle Adoption (EVs) ⚡ Trend: EVs don’t use platinum in catalytic converters, which is a structural hit to demand as EV growth continues. Significance: Long-term downside pressure. Impact Score: 7/10. 5. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Demand 💧 Trend: Hydrogen vehicles use platinum, with projected demand growth toward 2030. Limitations: Growth remains slower than battery EVs. Impact Score: 6/10. 6. Recycling Constraints 🔄 Trend: Recycling, which provides about a quarter of supply, is falling due to fewer end-of-life vehicles and glass, reducing the supply buffer. Market Effect: This amplifies supply tightness. Impact Score: 6/10. 7. Chinese Emission Policies 🏭 Trend: China’s tightening emissions regulations are supporting demand, with end uses well protected against a slowdown. Importance: China is the largest platinum user; policy gives stability. Impact Score: 7/10. 8. Jewellery & Investment Trends 💍 Trend: Jewellery demand remains steady, and investment demand is rising. Note: This is a smaller demand segment, but it is supportive. Impact Score: 5/10. 9. Macroeconomic & Auto Production Outlook 📉 Trend: Weak global auto production is lowering platinum use, but recovery in auto could lift demand. Aftermath: Economic rebound could support prices. Impact Score:** 5/10. 10. Speculative Sentiment & Positioning 📈 Trend: Inventories are depleted; investors are waiting for a breakout. Tipping Point: A price surge could spark momentum-driven demand. Impact Score:** 4/10. | Rank | Catalyst | Score (/10) | | ---- | ---------------------------------- | ----------- | | 1 | Supply Deficit | 10 | | 2 | Industrial / Green-Energy Demand | 9 | | 3 | Auto Catalyst Pd → Pt Substitution | 8 | | 4 | EV Adoption (Negative Impact) | 7 | | 5 | Chinese Emission Policies | 7 | | 6 | Hydrogen Fuel Cell Growth | 6 | | 7 | Recycling Constraints | 6 | | 8 | Jewellery & Investment Demand | 5 | | 9 | Macro Slowdowns / Auto Production | 5 | | 10 | Speculative Positioning | 4 | 📌 Key Insights & Outlook * Tight supply and diversified demand—especially from green energy and industrial sectors—are the strongest bullish forces for platinum. * Auto-driven substitution offers further upside, while EV growth and recycling limitations act as constraints. * Chinese regulations add resilience; hydrogen offers potential if growth accelerates. * Jewellery and investment flows remain minor but supportive. * Much depends on auto sector recovery and investor psychology—momentum effects could amplify gains if technical levels break. 🔮 Final Take Platinum remains positioned for medium-term strength, thanks to severe supply tightness and robust non-auto demand drivers. For investors, key areas to watch are further deficits, industrial trends, and catalytic substitution. Be mindful of potential headwinds from EV adoption and macroeconomic softness, but the structural case remains compelling.

Platinum's Quiet Ascent: What Drives Its New Value?Platinum, often operating in the shadow of gold, has recently experienced a significant surge in value, reaching multi-year highs and capturing considerable investor attention. This resurgence is not arbitrary; it stems from a complex interplay of industrial demand, tightening supply, evolving geopolitical dynamics, and a notable shift in investment sentiment. Understanding these underlying forces becomes crucial for investors seeking to decipher the trajectory of this vital industrial precious metal. A primary catalyst for platinum's price rally is its strong industrial utility, particularly within the automotive sector, where it remains indispensable for catalytic converters. While the rise of battery electric vehicles presents a long-term shift, the robust growth in hybrid vehicle production continues to sustain demand. Critically, the market faces persistent physical deficits, with supply consistently falling short of demand for the past two years, a trend projected to continue into 2025. Mine output struggles due to disruptions in key producing regions, such as South Africa and Zimbabwe, and secondary supply from recycling has proven insufficient to bridge the growing gap. Geopolitics and strategic investment further amplify platinum's upward trajectory. China has emerged as a pivotal market, with a sharp rebound in demand as consumers increasingly favor platinum for both jewelry and investment amidst record gold prices. This strategic pivot by the world's largest consumer market is reshaping global platinum price discovery, supported by China's initiatives to develop new trading ecosystems and futures contracts. Concurrently, renewed investor confidence is evident in growing inflows into platinum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and robust physical buying, with anticipated lower borrowing costs also enhancing its appeal. In essence, platinum's current rally reflects a powerful combination of tightening supply and resilient industrial demand, underscored by strategic shifts in major consumer markets and renewed investor interest. As above-ground stocks gradually deplete and the market anticipates continued deficits, platinum is poised for a sustained period of relevance, offering compelling prospects for those who recognize its multifaceted value proposition.

Bitcoin Breaks below $102,500 Support : Watch For RejectionIf you have been following my research on Bitcoin, you already know I published a prediction of a Double-Top pattern and a potential breakdown in Bitcoin on May 20, 2025. TradingView selected this video as an Editor's Pick and it received thousands of views. Thank you for all the great comments and questions from everyone. Now, after about 3+ Weeks, we are starting to see BTCUSD move below my $102,500 support level (my breakdown level) and this could be the start of a broad downward price phase for BTCUSD and US/Global assets. If you have followed any of my longer-term research, you'll quickly understand why I believe the US markets will struggle through most of 2025 as the world attempts to adjust to Trump leadership. This uncertainty will likely result in a sideways-consolidation phase in many global markets and a disruption of hard and soft assets. In this regard, you can read the content of my original post (May 20). Right now, I want to warn you that an immediate price rejection of the breakdown move is likely - possibly targeting $105k or higher. This type of rejection is very common before price makes a much bigger move. So, be prepared for BTCUSD to attempt to reject and move back above $105k, then stall and break downward very hard - trying to move below $80k in an initial downward price phase. It's going to be very interesting to see how this plays out with my broad cycle research. I'm still expecting a July 2025 and October 2025 MAJOR LOW cycle phase to play out. Buckle up.

Platinum: The New Gold for the Next Decade?For centuries, Gold has been the ultimate store of value, a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty. However, as Gold potentially enters a multi-year distribution phase, investors may need to look elsewhere for the next big opportunity. Enter Platinum, a metal that is rarer, more versatile, and increasingly relevant in the modern industrial landscape. Gold’s Distribution Phase and Bitcoin’s Speculative Nature Gold has historically been a hedge against inflation and economic downturns, but recent trends suggest it may be topping out. Central banks have been stockpiling Gold, yet its price movements indicate a possible stagnation. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, once hailed as "digital gold," has shown extreme volatility, largely driven by speculation and relentless social media hype. Unlike Gold, Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value, and its future remains uncertain as institutional interest fluctuates. Why Platinum Stands Out Platinum is 30 times rarer than gold and has been in an accumulation phase since 2015. Unlike Palladium, which is highly volatile, Platinum maintains a more stable price structure. Its industrial applications make it indispensable in sectors such as: Automotive Industry : Used in catalytic converters to reduce emissions. Clean Energy & Hydrogen Economy : Essential in fuel cells for green energy. Cloud Computing & Electronics : Platinum’s conductivity makes it valuable in advanced computing. Space Exploration & Aerospace : Its resistance to extreme temperatures makes it ideal for high-tech applications. Medical & Biomedical Uses : Found in cancer treatments and medical implants. The Future of Platinum With global trends shifting toward industrialization and sustainability, platinum’s demand is set to rise. Supply constraints, primarily due to limited mining operations in South Africa, further add to its scarcity. As gold enters a distribution phase, platinum is positioned to take off, potentially becoming a new standard for wealth preservation and industrial utility.

Why Palladium Is the Smart Play Right NowGold is hitting record highs, and silver is riding the wave—but smart investors know that diversification is key. While everyone is chasing gold, Palladium and Platinum are quietly setting up for a massive opportunity. 🔹 Palladium’s Market Position ✅ Palladium is rarer than gold—annual production is significantly lower. ✅ Industrial demand is surging, especially in automotive catalytic converters. ✅ Supply constraints due to geopolitical factors and mining limitations. 🔹 Palladium’s Role in the Green Revolution 🌍 Palladium is critical for reducing vehicle emissions—used in catalytic converters to meet stricter environmental regulations. ⚡ Hydrogen fuel cells and clean energy tech are increasing demand for Palladium. 🔋 Electronics & semiconductor industries rely on Palladium for conductivity and durability. 🔹 Gold Is at the Top—Time to Rotate? 📈 Gold is at all-time highs, making it expensive for new investors. 📉 Palladium has corrected from its highs, creating a buying opportunity. 💡 Diversifying into Palladium & Platinum now could be a strategic hedge against gold’s potential pullback. 🔹 Palladium’s Supply Crunch ⛏️ Russia & South Africa control most of the world’s Palladium supply—geopolitical risks could tighten availability. 📉 Mining output is declining, while demand remains strong. 💰 Lower supply + rising demand = price surge potential. 🔹 Platinum: The Underrated Hedge 💎 Platinum is historically undervalued compared to gold & Palladium. 🚗 EV & hydrogen fuel cell adoption could drive Platinum demand higher. 📊 Platinum-to-Gold ratio suggests Platinum is deeply discounted. 🔹 Final Thoughts Gold is great, but smart investors look ahead. Palladium and Platinum are positioned for growth, with strong industrial demand, supply constraints, and undervaluation compared to gold. 📢 Now is the time to accumulate Palladium & Platinum before the market catches on.

Is Platinum About to Explode? Imminent Rally!Platinum (PL1!) is currently in a technically and macroeconomically compelling setup. After a prolonged consolidation between 872–921, price has reacted strongly, forming a clear accumulation pattern supported by institutional positioning and favorable seasonality. 📈 1. Technical Analysis: Accumulation and Potential Breakout The weekly chart shows a strong demand zone that has been defended multiple times over the past year. Following a deep pullback in April, price has formed a harmonic compression structure and broke to the upside with conviction. The area between 1010 and 1040 stands out as the first major historical supply zone — previously rejected but now looking increasingly vulnerable. 📉 2. COT Report: Institutions Repositioning Long The COT data as of April 22 shows a clear increase in long positions from commercial traders (+1,177 contracts), while non-commercials maintain a net long bias. Total open interest rose by over 1,500 contracts — a strong sign of renewed speculative interest in Platinum. ✅ Conclusion Platinum is showing strong confluence across technicals, institutional positioning, and historical seasonal behavior. The probability of a bullish extension in Q2 2025 is high. This is a setup worth watching closely in the coming days.
