Chart Patterns

Cup and Handle

Pattern Description:

The Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. The cup is in the shape of a "U" and the handle has a slight downward drift. The right-hand side of the pattern has low trading volume. It can be as short as seven weeks and as long as 65 weeks. As the stock comes up to test the old highs, the stock will incur selling pressure by the people who bought at or near the old high. This selling pressure will make the stock price trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for four days to four weeks... then it takes off.

Technical Review

Platinum - Is an important market move imminent?

2025-05-21 by Tim Straiton

The current technical outlook could gradually be reflecting the fundamental market situation where the platinum market supply in 2025 is estimated to be the lowest in the last five years.

The current price of platinum is $1042.50 and trading well above the rising 40 week moving average of $966. Recent technical indications seem to suggest that this market is set to break out of its recent trendless state which is reflected in the all-time low in the weekly Bollinger bandwidth reading of 32.00.

 The Gold/Platinum ratio which recently hit an all-time high of 3.56 has since declined sharply and is now trading at 3.16. The 14 week relative strength index on the Platinum/US$ chart has broken above its negative trend and currently is at 62%. Initial upside resistance is seen at $1152, which is the Fibonacci 23.6% retracement for the high based on the entire $1335 to $558 range traded since March 2020.
