Platinum (XPT/USD) fails to recover from the biggest daily slump in two months despite posting 1.10% daily gains around $957 heading into Friday’s European session.
That said, the precious metal portrays a “double top” bearish chart pattern in the four-hour play. However, an upward sloping trend line from April 27 has recently probed bears.
Given the bearish MACD signals and the metal’s failure to rise past the 200-SMA, the XPT/USD prices are likely to drop back towards a fortnight-old support line, at $946 by the press time.
It should, however, be noted that the quote needs to conquer the $932 horizontal support, after breaking $946, to confirm the aforementioned bearish formation, which in turn could recall $860 on the chart.
Alternatively, a clear upside break of the 200-SMA, around 968, will challenge the “double tops” surrounding $1,000.
Also acting as the short-term key upside filter is the late April swing high close to $1,025.
Trend: Further weakness expected
