– Our trading team witnessed a big drop in Platinum and Palladium prices early this morning while Gold and Silver continued to push moderately higher.\u00a0 We began to question this move and investigate any historical relevance to previous patterns.\u00a0 Our research team pointed out that both Platinum and Palladium rolled lower just 3 to 4 days before the breakdown in the US stock markets on February 24, 2020, while Gold and Silver were reaching recent price peaks.\u00a0 Could the patterns in precious metals be a warning of another potential volatility spike and price decline in the near future?<\/p>\n

ARE METALS PATTERNS PREDICTING A BIG DOWNSIDE PRICE EVENT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our research team created the charts below to help highlight the pattern that we are seeing in Precious Metals right now.\u00a0 First, we highlighted February 24, 2020, with a light blue vertical line to more clearly illustrate where the markets initiated the COVID-19 breakdown event.\u00a0 Next, we drew shaded rectangles around new downside price rotation levels that took place near this peak in the US stock markets.\u00a0 Lastly, we drew a red line that highlights the subsequent price decline that took place in Precious Metals as the markets tanked in late February and early March 2020.<\/p>\n

The current downside price move in Platinum and Palladium are very interesting because it appears Platinum and Palladium both initiated a downside\/contraction price event just 3 to 4 days before Gold and Silver, as well as the rest of the US stock market, began to collapse on February 25, 2020.\u00a0 You can clearly see in the bottom two charts that Platinum and Palladium initiated a downside price correction a few days before both Gold and Silver reached their peak levels and began to move lower.\u00a0 Once this peak rotation took place, all four of the major metals groups moved moderately lower for about 7 days before pausing, then collapsed even further.<\/p>\n

Our researchers believe the current setup in Platinum and Palladium may be mirroring the February 2020 peak rotation and warning that a massive volatility event and downside price contraction event may be setting up and just days away from initiating.<\/p>\n

The breakdown in Precious Metals at a time when the US stock market is crashing is usually a result of margin calls \u2013 where traders experience losses in their trading accounts and much liquidate Precious Metals positions to cover these losses.\u00a0 This time, the downside event in Precious Metals may not be as deep or exaggerated as the February\/March collapse.\u00a0 Skilled traders have already positioned their accounts to avoid margin calls.\u00a0 Only the novice traders may be in a position to experience this type of event in the near future.<\/p>

HOW DEEP WILL IT GO?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our researchers believe any future downside event in precious metals will likely stall near the recent support levels on these charts and immediately rotate back into a bullish trend because fear and greed won\u2019t allow metals to fall too far before greedy traders try to scoop up these positions at discounted price levels. Our Support levels for the four Precious Metals shown are:<\/p>\n

Silver: $19 to $21
\nGold: $1780 to $1820
\nPlatinum: $750 to $850
\nPalladium: $1915 to $2090<\/p>\n

We believe any attempt to reach these levels in any of these four various Precious Metals would present a very strong buying opportunity for skilled technical traders.\u00a0 If it were to happen while a US stock market volatility event was taking place and\/or the US stock market began a new downside price decline, then skilled traders should understand we may be seeing a similar type of price rotation event to the one that took place in February\/March 2020 \u2013 representing a fantastic trading opportunity for those lucky enough to take advantage of the discounted price levels.<\/p>\n

This next chart highlights what we believe may be the downside price event as it potentially takes place over the next 10 to 20+ days. Pay special attention to the differences in how Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Palladium react to the fear event and where real opportunity exists near the end of this potential event.\u00a0 Platinum and Palladium will likely fall 15% to 25% where Gold may fall only 8% and Silver may fall 15% to 20% before bottoming.<\/p>\n

As technical traders, we can\u2019t pass up an opportunity like this when Precious Metals gift us with a potential 15% to 45%+ rotation in price that should be moderately easy to trade given our expectations.\u00a0 If this event takes place as we have described, skilled technical traders could begin to acquire smaller positions near our target levels, then wait to acquire bigger positions as the bottom sets up.\u00a0 Take a look at how Gold and Silver rallied after the February\/March collapse \u2013 Gold rallied back to new highs within 45 days whereas Silver rallied higher over 4+ months, then broke higher just recently on a huge upside breakout move.\u00a0 Platinum and Palladium rotated more diligently throughout a 90-day span \u2013 never really reaching new highs after the peak in February 2020.<\/p>\n

The reality of patterns like this is they are fun and exciting to find at this early stage of the setup.\u00a0 We\u2019re not 100% confident this pattern will play out as we expect yet \u2013 but we believe the probability is high that a volatility event is about to take place and that Precious Metals could react very similarly to the February\/March 2020 price reactions again.<\/p>\n
