Platinum Price Forecast – Is Platinum Ready for a Breakout After Ceasefire Extension?
By:
Key Points:
- Platinum remains constructive after rebounding from a key support zone, but bulls still need a decisive breakout to confirm the next rally.
- Platinum remains supported by a market deficit, but softer demand is reducing the strength of that support.
- The broader platinum outlook stays constructive because supply remains tight, even as the market loses some momentum.
Platinum (XPL) prices show constructive price action after finding strong support at the $1,700 zone. The extension of the ceasefire has eased some of the pressure from the oil prices, the US dollar and the inflation fears. In my view, this creates room for platinum to push higher. But the market still needs clear break above $2,300 to confirm the next move. This article presents the macro backdrop, the platinum market dynamics and the technical structures that could shape the next move.
