Amid a sweeping retreat in precious metals, platinum's value teeters at pivotal support levels, spotlighting its volatile spot price dynamics.
Gold remains under pressure as U.S. dollar gains ground against a broad basket of currencies. Rising Treasury yields are also bearish for gold markets.
In case gold declines below the support in the $1900 – $1910 range, and it will gain additional downside momentum and move towards the support at $1860 – $1870.
Silver rebounded from session lows as some traders decided to take profits near the strong support in the $22.15 – $22.35 range.
The nearest resistance level for silver is located at $23.00 – $23.25. A move above $23.25 will push silver towards the resistance at $24.00 – $24.25.
Platinum tested support at $890 – $900 amid a broad pullback in precious metals markets.
If platinum settles below the $890 level, it will head towards the support at $850 – $860. RSI remains in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional downside momentum.
