The Rally in Metals Is Not Over YetI believe the rally in metals is not over.The upward move could resume from current levels. While we have seen a slight pullback, the metals are holding up strongly. The stop-loss level would be quite wide, but I believe the chances of a continuation significantly outweigh the risks, making it a calculated risk worth taking. The chart shows a continuing uptrend. Metals are set to heat up the market, and at the moment, I like platinum the most.

Bearish Candles Flash Warning: Platinum’s Rally May Be OverPlatinum’s breakneck rally since June looks at risk of reversing, with the last two weekly candles delivering notable topping patterns. A shooting star from above $1,700 was followed by an enormous bearish pin, doubling down on the message. With momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD rolling over but still in overbought territory, selling into rallies is preferred near term, especially if we see another push above $1,650 where bears were active in each of the past three weeks.
Downside targets for shorts include the July high of $1,516, with the February 2021 swing high of $1,350 and $1,300 as other options after that. Risk management is extremely important for anyone looking to act on the bearish price signals given how far the price has run over recent months, so make sure stop placements above entry are aligned with your desired risk-reward ratio from the trade.
Good luck!

$PLATINUM (3-MONTH): WAVE 3, the MONEY WAVE is onCAPITALCOM:PLATINUM , the 3-MONTHLY chart showing all the price action in the XXI century, in case anyone still has any doubts re where precious metals are going next.
One dominant chart pattern, a 12-year-old FALLING WEDGE, text-book breakout during COVID (surpluses of production), retested, a few years of accumulation done (constant shortages since 2022, more demand than supply by roughly 1 Moz a year, on average), and finally a big BREAKOUT above the GOLDEN POCKET ($1063 - $1123) in Q1 to start 2025.
So, a clear WAVE 3, a.k.a the MONEY WAVE. Briefly hit $1737 and now we have got a 7% correction.
I have been in the market for a position in #platinum after missing out on this year's run solely due to engaging my free capital in other metals.
So, two potential long entries:
1) $1575, a 2% pullback from here, fib 0.382 retest and continuation upwards on that money wave.
2) between fib 0.5 ($1350) and a potential WAVE 4 first target ($1385). In case the WAVE 3 is finished, then dip-buying would make sense.
LONG (x10) LIMIT order set at $1575 for now.
The mentioned FALLING WEDGE has got a target at $2.4k. Very doable, it will take some time, but it will HIT👽💙
Platinum- While everyone is chasing Gold’s rally, I’ve got my eyes on Platinum.
- That doesn’t mean Gold is a bad investment, it just means it’s already had its moment.
- Platinum feels “delayed,” but its time is coming.
- Observe closely, this simple graph reveals a tightening triangle.
Remember my first rule: Buy the blood, not the moon.
Stay sharp. Diversify. Never go all in.

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.
XPT/USD: Re-Accumulation or Just Another Trap?🏴☠️ PLATINUM HEIST: The Metal Market Profit Playbook | XPT/USD Swing/Day Trade Setup
📊 Asset Overview
XPT/USD - Platinum vs. U.S. Dollar
Market: Precious Metals
Trading Style: Swing/Day Trade
Strategy: Thief's Layered Entry Method 🎯
🎭 The Setup: Re-Accumulation Zone Confirmed
Bias: BULLISH 🐂
Platinum is currently consolidating in what appears to be a re-accumulation zone – the perfect opportunity for strategic entries before the next potential leg up. The "Thief Strategy" uses multiple limit orders (layering) to build a position across key price levels, minimizing risk while maximizing opportunity.
🎯 Entry Strategy: The Layered Approach
Entry Method: Multi-Layer Limit Orders (Thief's Ladder Style)
Instead of going all-in at one price, we're spreading entries across multiple levels:
Layer 1: $1,600.00
Layer 2: $1,620.00
Layer 3: $1,640.00
You can add more layers based on your capital and risk appetite. This approach averages your entry and reduces timing risk.
Alternative: Market entry at current levels is acceptable if you prefer immediate exposure.
🛑 Risk Management: The Exit Door
Stop Loss: $1,560.00
⚠️ Important Note: Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OGs), this is MY stop loss level based on my analysis and risk tolerance. You should determine your own based on your account size and risk management rules. Trade at your own risk and always protect your capital first!
💰 Target: The Police Barricade Zone
Take Profit Target: $1,760.00
This level represents a confluence of:
Strong resistance (the "police barricade" 🚨)
Potential overbought conditions
Historical reversal zone (the trap)
Profit Potential: ~$160 per ounce from mid-entry point (~10% move)
⚠️ Important Note: Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OGs), this is MY take profit target. You're free to scale out earlier, trail stops, or extend targets based on your trading plan. Secure profits when YOU feel comfortable – it's your hard-earned money!
🔗 Related Markets to Watch (Correlation Play)
Keep an eye on these correlated assets:
GC/USD (Gold) - Platinum typically follows gold trends due to precious metals correlation
DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) - Inverse correlation; weak dollar = stronger platinum
SI/USD (Silver) - Often moves in tandem with platinum in industrial demand cycles
CL/USD (Crude Oil) - Industrial demand correlation (platinum used in catalytic converters)
PA/USD (Palladium) - Sister metal with automotive industry demand overlap
Key Point: A weakening dollar combined with rising gold prices typically supports platinum rallies. Watch the DXY for confirmation of dollar weakness.
📈 Technical Key Points
✅ Re-accumulation phase confirmed
✅ Layered entry reduces timing risk
✅ Risk-reward ratio favorable (~4:1)
✅ Clear invalidation level ($1,560)
✅ Strong resistance identified ($1,760)
⚡ Quick Action Plan

Platinum chartPlatinum is commencing wave E on the monthly chart. The E wave could unfold as a Triangle or Diametric — opening the door for a massive rally. Targets: $5K+ 🚀
The upcoming wave E could evolve as a Triangle or Diametric pattern, potentially fueling a powerful bullish rally.
This suggests the current consolidation is not the end — but the setup for the next explosive leg upward.
BULLISH ANALYSIS OF XPTUSD ( PLATINUM SPOT VS US DOLLAR)As of October 3, 2025, the XPT/USD stands at approximately $1,571 per troy ounce, reflecting a robust year-to-date (YTD) gain of over 58% from early 2025 levels around $992. This surge has propelled platinum out of a decade long consolidation, marking it as one of the top-performing precious metals in 2025. The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) projects an average annual deficit of 620,000–727,000 ounces (koz) from 2025 through 2029, equivalent to 8–9% of average demand. XPT/USD has broken out of a decade-long trading range ($800–$1,100), signaling the start of a new uptrend. While short-term volatility remains a risk, the structural case for platinum's rise is compelling, with forecasts pointing to sustained deficits and prices potentially exceeding $1,700–$2,000 by year-end or into 2026. A buying opportunity presents on the recent bullish breakout on the weekly Timeframe, which was confirmed by above average volume.
PLAT/GOLD ratio: why my stockpick number 4 will start to fly !!Platinum is usually 1 to 2 times more expensiv than Gold historically (between 1.17 and 2.37 times from 1998 until 2008).
After the Great Financial Crisis things went out of wack ! The ratio fell inside a bullish descending wedge until it touched its low point around 0.39 !
At the peak of the Corona Crisis you could buy 2.5 ounces of Platinum with 1 ounce of Gold !
This undervaluation is of factor 3 compared with its average.
This means Platinum could very well outperform Gold by 3 times in the future.
Intresting is that price formed a double bottom with its recent March low and that a bullish divergeance formed between the March 2020 and March 2024 low.
Whereas the March 2020 low was a FALSE breakout of the wedge. The March 2024 is a REAL backtest of the apex of the bullish wedge.
The future price movement of the ratio, and especially the price movement of the PLG (Platinum Group Metals - stock pick number 4/10) should be dramatic !!
Precious Metals: Bullish Momentum IntactThe picture remains unchanged — trading should be done only from the long side.
The trend is still strongly bullish, with all major metals showing solid growth.
The greatest upside potential remains in silver, platinum, and palladium.
The market environment continues to favor buyers, so it makes sense to hold existing long positions or add to longs on pullbacks.

Platinum Trend Still Intact, But Correction Risks Are RisingThe uptrend in metals is not over yet.
Of course, the risks of a correction are increasing. And here I want to emphasize that this view is not based on specific factors or a particular chart setup, but rather on the general understanding that no asset can rise forever — there must be pullback phases.
I keep this in mind, but I don’t let it dominate my analysis. Right now, I like the setup on the chart. I will go long on platinum again with a stop below Tuesday’s low at 1545. The stop is relatively wide, so it’s important to size the position carefully to avoid risking the entire deposited capital in the brokerage account.
Last time, I was stopped out around 1575. That’s the current price, and that’s where I’ll enter again. If I get stopped out once more, I’ll step aside and wait for a correction toward lower levels — somewhere around 1475 or even 1435.
But the bigger picture hasn’t changed. Long-term, I expect platinum to move toward 1715 / 1925 / 2100 / 2200 / 2300 and beyond.
📝Trading Plan
🟢Entry: current level - 1575
🔴Stop: 1545
🎯Target: 1715 / 1925 / 2100 / 2200 / 2300 and beyond
Metals in a Phenomenal Rally: Platinum Takes the SpotlightMetals are showing a phenomenal rally.
Gold is simply skyrocketing.
Silver is just 2% away from historical highs, platinum has more than 40% to go, and palladium still has over 165% to reach its peak.
The commodity supercycle continues — and let’s not forget that commodity market cycles are long!
Right now, platinum looks the most attractive. The hourly chart shows a solid setup with excellent growth potential.
An additional advantage is the tight stop-loss level, just below yesterday’s low at 1585.
I’m entering a long position from the current level.
📝Trading Plan
🟢Entry: current level - 1610
🔴Stop: 1585
🎯Target: 1715 / 2300
PLATINUM IS COMPLETELY UNDERVALUED, BUY NOW!TVC:PLATINUM CAPITALCOM:PLATINUM
Platinum is absolutely undervalued and is currently trading at only $975 USD.
The Gold to Platinum Ratio just hit a new all time high with the Current Ratio being 3,09 even though Platinum has traded since the 1970s till 2016 at a consistent average of 1:1. Gold's all time low against Platinum was at 0,42 in June 2008; AKA the 'Great Financial Crisis'.
Every single indicator shows that right now is the perfect time to buy Platinum especially because the 'Gold rush' is in its absolute final stages.
Keep in mind that Platinum is around 15 times rarer than Gold on Planet Earth.
May fortune favor the bold, and as always - DYOR NFA ! ;)
