Platinum Bullish Flag Set to Become a 5-wave CorrectionThe bearish price action in TVC:PLATINUM that started since Feb 2021 has the hallmarks of a bullish flag:
Overlapping waves WXYXZ
No significant price movement compared to the bullish impulse from Mar 2020 to Feb 2021.
It has taken more than 2x the time to retrace 61.8% of the previous impulse move.
Forecast:
Platinum breaking below the previous low ($825), potentially hitting the $700 area near the bottom trendline of the channel
Platinum bottoming at the Z wave
The price bouncing back targeting the upper trendline as the first target and the previous high ($1336) as the second target.
PLATINUM trade ideas
Doctor Platinum Platinum is the bellwether for the Fourth Industrial economy
Green hydrogen is the battery for the storage and transportation of wind and solar energy; and platinum is the chief catalyst for both the generation by electrolysis of green hydrogen from solar and wind energy; and the reverse reaction in the fuel cell.
Here I have a section of the longterm platinum chart in log: comes down to recent PA
We can see it is respecting the longterm geometry perfectly
Since the corona low it has made a high and it now attempting a higher low; the golden pocket should again provide good support
The purple median line should act like a magnet to prevent and further big drops near term- I believe the higher low is in; and I’ll be buying here. A sensible stop would be around the last low. I don’t use stops.

Plat finding supportThe price of platinum has since January 2023 nose-dived by roughly 16% which has seen the metal fall below its 200-day MA price of $947.60 to touch lows around $910 in Feb. The metal is however finding some support on the green 61.8% Fibo retracement level of $922.85 and the longer-term blue 23.6% Fibo.
Technical indicators are supporting a move higher for the metal with a re-test of the 200-day MA looking likely over the near-term. A break above the 200-day MA price will allow the metal to claw its way higher towards the 50-day MA price currently at $1012.03 in my view. The heavily oversold daily RSI and the rolling over of the MACD indicator supports this price action, but for now we need $922.85 to hold its ground.
(I’m not too familiar with the fundamentals regarding precious metal prices, some references or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I mainly watch the price of plat to support my USDZAR views)
XPT/USD is starting to enter Advancing phase of MarketXPT/USD was clearly in bearish trend but it failed to form new Lower Lows and broke the previous Lower High signalling that the trend is now shifting. I would place new buy order above the new formed Higher High. My trade would be:
Buy: 943.13
Stop Loss: 927.80
TP 1: 958.40
TP 2: 973.40
Platinum: Potentially Nearing OversoldThe majority of my research insights are published for clients and occasionally highlighted on this platform. To become a regular recipient of my research, including trade ideas, get in touch with me today for a brief discussion.
Price momentum is down however the indicators point to the commodity nearing oversold conditions
Nearing incline support
Is trading just below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level
Consider the following for today or in the next 2 to 3 sessions: the development of a piercing candle formation i.e. a print below the prior day low and a reclaim of those lows to suggest that buyers have started to step in.
Traders could consider building a small buy/long position on confirmation/improvement in the price action or structure.
Platinum nascent bull market I’m a metals bug but haven’t been convinced of a full blown metals bull market since corona
Now I believe is time
Inflation is now dialled in, but they can’t keep raising ad infinitum else the web of debt financial system will collapse
It may be that endogenous financial ruin is part of the reset- but I don’t believe the comptrollers would risk their own wealth to do this
It will be more subtle
Platinum has the additional fundamental of green hydrogen
I think metals are preparing for a face melting bull run
Ofc this would require general sentiment to be mehish at best, which of course it is
The major downtrend is shown here in orange/brown
It’s had a few goes at breaking this
The corona low was a divergent low
I’ll be surprised if platinum doesn’t have a monster breakout this year

PLATINUM short term long setupSo, we are at the bottom of the descending channel + a very strong support level. We might see one more bounce or 4H hammer candle before going up and to be honest that's the optimal play we look for. The price can actually smash this zone and if it does so, I will shift my bias and will look for pullbacks for short.
Platinum attempting to end its bear market Platinum is attempting to break our of its longterm bear market
I don’t believe the corona low will be revisited
I also think the reversal at the golden pocket was significant
I’d expect it to bottom on this local correction close to 900

Platinum long scenario Oke guys, I'm going to watch this for potential long if price give us second touch of the ATL, it showed good rejection at first touch and now I'm looking for a pullback to POI and if it comes to the marked zone, I will wait for 4H rejection candles and after that I'll consider buys.
Confluences are:
1. Daily 50EMA touch
2. Nice break and retest of S/R zone
3. Bullish trend on 4H, D, W
4. 61.8% fibs
5. initially it showed rejection at the first touch of daily 50EMA
Technically its looking good, but remember that we jump in longs only if we see a good 4H rejection candles at marked zone
Platinum $ spot: corrective wave?A bearish trend is applicable.
Ideal short entry around 1070.
Increase exposure around 1040.
Stop-loss 1090.
Target 1020.
The expectation is that the commodity is busy with wave a which is a corrective wave.
Technical rating: medium.
Time exit around 1 February 2023.
Platinum could rise to 1200 zoneSince the late September low and strong support from 850, Platinum has had a nice rise of around 30%.
On the last trading day of 2022, the price also broke above 1050 resistance and, after confirming this break as a genuine one last week, Friday's candle is a bullish engulfing.
All these are suggesting up continuation and the 1200 zone could be next for Platinum.
Buy dips in the 1070-1080 zone could be a good strategy that also offers 1:2.5 R: R
Platinum is the one to buy and hold for yearsI've been bullish platinum for a long time now, but breakouts from such long-term ranges take time. We've seen similar shapes in crude oil and in copper, both of which have broken out. I started discussing the upcoming crude oil breakout on Twitter in 2019 already, and I've been doing the same for platinum. In time, we will surpass the all-time highs, which isn't strange considering that platinum can be used as an industrial metal to support the electrification trend.
Don't expect this to breakout tomorrow. It could take until 2024, but I'm very confident that it will be a matter of time. In the short term, I am looking for a drop by possibly as much as 3-5%, which is when I will start adding to my existing position. A critical level is $1,040 and it seems likely that we will see a test of that level before we head back to the current levels. On a side note: platinum looks like it will be outperforming gold in the coming years. The gold/platinum chart is an interesting one to look at.
