Having reached exactly 1.80 at the peak of the current correction last week, the analysis Gold/PT ratio is key to the decision to hold Platinum in our portfolio. Platinum subsequently dropped to 1.73 with risk weight dropping equally rapid to just below 50%. This may be indicative of another market attempt to dump PT which then should almost certainly lead to a bearish divergence risk to price sequence.

Weekly already is showing bearish lower risk weight to higher price divergence which will either follow through with a further decline of the ratio or make a second bearish divergence formation keeping a lid on the possiblity for a major new advance for Gold vs Platinum.

Monthly risk weight either develops a new down trend following the sharp rally since April or stall and turn back down once the Medium Weekly risk weight trend drives the ratio price lower.
Either way we should expect the short and meium term picture to lead the long gterm direction as long as Long term haven't made a proper technical bottom, which they historicall almost always do. Exception are V bottoms at very low risk percentages with a running bullish divergence on the shorter term scales.

Quarterly risk weight is stalling since Q2 at around 32% with a fairly strong underlying price correction. This price correction is only the first more serious correction since the ratio peaked in March 2020. A much lower bottom can be expected well into the future and probably in the 5 to 15% risk weight percentage window.

Again, monitoring the technical position of the Platinum Silver ratio helps understanding how Platinum should perform in our portfolio. The broader picture of the individual precious metals versus the USD or Euro or GBP and the ratio's which of course are independent from fiat currency give a fairly complete picture for holding and releasing metals from the portfolio. A generally weak metals picture coupled with a potentially very strong ratio gives more comfort to hold both metals, whereas a weak metals picture with a very neutral ratio would be reason to release a position. The technical picture is simply determined by a set of observations and experience using a number of price tools.
Daily Platinum vs Silver ended last week with the risk trend turning down. This trend is likely to follow through and meet a bullish diverging weekly trend. Essentially a hold for Platinum.

The bullish risk weight to price divergence between the last two bottoms since middle of June with the price ratio now finishing just above 43 signal a potentially longer move. Whilst Daily pushes down the medium term weekly indicators are showing strength. Hold Platinum.

Monthly risk weight and price are up indicating a fairly strong put look for Platinum vs Silver. Whilst Silver should re-attempt a stronger position versus Gold, Platinum is attempting to make up ground versus bot Gold and Silver. If anything Platinum could be the leading overweight metals position, but risk and lower market liquidity make it safer if the position is balanced. If our outlook turns out to be correct the financial reward will suffice. Platinum typically is stronger in a generally strong metals space always preceding Gold (and Silver) by one or two years.

The Quarterly indicator is not very clear besides that what ever happens with this ratio in the next few quarters, we either established the strong bullish divergence in Q2 2020 of we will get another one confirming Platinum is on the rise versus Silver. If Silver were to explode to the upside as some market analysts have been suggesting for a very long time, Platinum is likely to follow. We still s prefer this ration to rally back into long term equiibrium. The 50 year (18,263 days) or Daily closing average Platinum Silver ratio (since August 15 1971) = 73,39. This would be our initial long term target for at least part of the position against last Friday's close of 43.29. Another 70% to go.
