What’s Up, What’s Down: A Buy Signal for Platinum

Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Monday’s Price Action
METALS:
Lower closes Monday for copper, gold, silver and platinum. Silver, gold and platinum all broke out of their bear triangles in the wrong direction with the former two metals giving me SELL SIGNALS, while platinum was hurt by today’s action. I must point out though, that similar gold and silver patterns in August and September previously led to new highs and that silver is at the beginning of a support area at this time.
