Chart Patterns

Double Top

Pattern Description:

The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. The pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between. As illustrated below, a double top consists of two well-defined, sharp peaks at approximately the same price level. A double top occurs when prices are in an uptrend. Prices rise to a resistance level, retreat, return to the resistance level again before declining. The two peaks should be distinct and sharp. The pattern is complete when prices decline below the lowest low in the formation. The lowest low is called the confirmation point.

The Pin Bar Candlestick Pattern

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.
