Gold and silver displayed hugely significant technical bullishness on the charts today. January platinum held firm on spillover buying. What perhaps should have been a setback to the $1600 level was stopped in its tracks. If this is the best the bears can muster in terms a correction their hand is very weak. The short term resistance is still at $1650, only about $10 away from today’s close at $1640.70.

October platinum met some technical resistance at the $1640 level and closed at $1632.90. I say $1650 here we come. With gold and silver making new highs by the minute and the S&P 500 still trading above a three month consolidation, technical resistance probably won’t mean much.

October platinum closed at $1621.80, above the June and August highs, although not decisively as it faded from the high of the day of $1630.70. The next possible stopping point is $1640. Without a market sector itching to sell it may not be long before platinum regains its 2010 high of $1760. When considering the thinness of the platinum market there may be explosive, volatile moves ahead especially if auto demand stays firm.
