    interresting situation , with huge downward potential!

    Hmmm , the signs of strength fail to unfold in platinum , the high volume at the supportish level, wich holds price
    above it , shows some buying activity , as price stays above the level , yet no one is follwoing price any higher

    the first rally after the high vol. spike at support , stopped at the middle point of the range at 1540

    the second rally failed to make a new high

    the third rally attempt ??? well its still on , so we dont know yet where this halts..

    but at this supportish level with this buying activity we should think that price should start a rally
    but it fails to show the strength ... this pot. strenght wich isnt conformed is actually a sign of weakness!

    however we make no significant downward progress too

    a buying opportunity would only be present if we take out the upper channel line and make a higher low

    however a short woulod be much more interresting if we break support significantly , as all potential longs
    would most likely puke the shit out of it.. which will propell platinum , way down till 800ish! as we have enough space to the downside!


    will be interresting to see how that situation resolves itself!

    Wow. That's a pretty looking short. I don't think gold is going anywhere, but platinum looks compelling.
     
  3. 1) If "this", then maybe "that".... :)
    2) On one hand......but then on the other hand..... :p
    3) Conditional response, hedged response, probabilistic response.... :eek:
    4) Once we're out of the holiday doldrums, the chart might have better "clarity". :D
    5) It's nice to see somebody interested in platinum for a change. :cool:

    not quite there yet...
     
  6. Yes. My time frame is very short. It keeps me better focused and keeps losses smaller compared to when using longer time frames.

    I am a little bothered that my broker requires a call to the trade desk to short PPLT. I wonder why. Perhaps, I will get gouged for the short rate.

    Additionally, My usual sources for short interest information came up with N/A. Except for this site.

    Is short interest ratio meaningful for a commodities ETF? The ETF provider stands ready to buy and sell units on a daily basis.

    A lot of people probably went long from 1400-1440.
