Thus far, nothing has changed regarding the setup we have been discussing in the monetary metals. Gold and silver seem to be finding support in the area expected to provide.

Dollar strength is once again waning after hitting the top end of the channel we have been presenting for weeks. Note, however, that this time, the dollar RSI is showing a negative divergence against the price on the weekly timeframe; this is another sign that a reversal in the index is near. A softening USD should coincide with a move up in gold, silver, platinum, and US stocks (which have been forming a base of their own).

The below platinum chart goes back a decade. The symmetry is clear. Platinum is also heavily oversold at the moment, with sentiment in the dump along with gold and silver. Platinum may currently be priced at less than what it costs for miners and refiners to sustainably produce.

Thanks and have a great day

Jonathan Da Silva developed a passion for hard money and economics from a young age having been influenced by family who sought to teach me that "nothing is free", and the importance of intrinsic value early on. My interest in markets grew keener during the great financial crisis of 2008; leaning on family with vast trading experience, I began to self-educate on technical analysis and economics- drawing inspiration from the works of individuals like W.D. Gann and Adam Smith. I have been a proud member of the Kitco team since 2017 and hope that my writing inspires readers to consider an objective view of the metals, and the greater financial markets.
