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.
