Platinum DAILY PRICE CHART (APR 9, 2019 – JUn 26, 2019) Zoomed In
Platinum DAILY PRICE CHART (DEC 7, 2017 – JUn 26, 2019) Zoomed OUT
Looking at the daily chart we notice on June 5 Platinum moved to the lower trading zone $780.0 - $817.0. Since then the price has stuck in a sideways pattern and failed in four different times to close above the higher end of this trading zone.
Therefore, any close above the higher end, may lead Platinum to test the double bottom neckline residing at $833.3. It’s worth noting that if the price breaks and remains above the neck line it might trade even higher towards $877.0. However, the weekly resistance zone and levels underlined on the chart need to be watched closely.
A close below $788.5 would negate the double bottom formation and could see the price trading towards the weekly support zone at $780.0 – $778.7. See the chart to find out more about the significant weekly supports the sellers would encounter below $778.7.
