#PLATINUM #XPT in a Perfect long-term Channel with 2 extremes
Platinum got rejected two weeks ago on the 'war candle' on the 1W time-frame and is on the 3rd straight red week since. The importance of that rejection, is that the candle closed within the metal's long-term (almost 4 year) Channel Up that started half-way through 2018. As you see XPTUSD tends to trade exclusively within this Channel Up structure, unless a 1W candles closes outside (either above or below) the pattern.
In almost 4 years we had two such 'extreme' cases, one was the March 2020 market crash due to the COVID pandemic, which was the bearish extreme that reached as low as (marginally breaking) the -1.0 Fibonacci extension level and the other the Q1 2021 bullish extreme that reached as high as (marginally breaking) the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level. Notice who both distances are symmetrical on the extremes and that in both cases the candles, despite breaking marginally below/ above, they managed to close back inside the Fibonacci extensions.
