don't fight the trend dude, short squeeze going on with silver
as I've stated with exchange not being able to deliver physical
silver on futures contracts held - which shows you how fragile that
market is - confirms long held beliefs that there's not enough
physical to match the derivatives
then the 'Son of QE' now, printing presses, and also falling
Dollar, that's all super bullish again for the metals
I wouldn't chase anything precious metal right now personally
... I'm long some stuff and ETF and mostly trailing stops up on
what I have , but I'm not adding ...
Platinum has been lagging silver but Platinum is entering into a
period of good seasonality from now until early Feb. If it
breaks 1500 then that wouldn't be good (because that was a multi
year downtrend breakout), but imo if I were to enter into the PMs
right now I would take a shot at Platinum for the next month or so.
This is the seasonal chart for January from TradingView along
with a blurb from an article I saw on the internet.
Platinum (and Palladium) doing well this morning maybe related
to combustion engine
news coming out
of EU. Spot platinum closed at 1703 on 12/11/25 when I posted
this. Very logical target at least $1900 on the channel but
it would be interesting to see if the favorable seasonality on
Platinum turns out to be true again and where it will be at by end
of January. According to that article, also, "Car
manufacturers typically begin ramping up production planning in Q1,
driving forward orders for platinum-rich autocatalysts —
particularly in diesel and hybrid segments where platinum loadings
remain high".
Revisiting my channel on Platinum, I thought it would cool off
(I was wrong) but w/that channel break to the upside it went crazy.
And that's usually the case with channel breaks from my
personal experience. But the rotation into Platinum since
12/11/25 (see previous post in this thread) because of seasonality
did play out.
you really think I'm this suicidal ? lol ... showing
this for fun ... shorting anything in this market is a
looser game anyway ... and I sure ain't fighting the
fed either ...
you're not? ah man. yeah DUST can't go to zero,
what those inverse ETF's do that degrade constantly simply reverse
split endlessly to bring price back up LOL
so much for VIX/VVIX. Its been the same story since April -
selloffs dont even last a day. big overnight down moves get gobbled
up. the panic remains to the upside. cant stop. wont stop.

also w/Silver, it broke that boogeyman level of $50 similar to what gold did with $2000 (look at what gold did after breaking $2000) and here we are

Agreed. I trimmed some SLV, PAAS, NGD & ASM and raised my stops. Thanks to whoever pointed out NGD by the way.

Spot Platinum hit $1951 and is now around $1900, top of the channel, might back off from here short-term.
