Platinum (XPT/USD) justifies the upside break of the 50-DMA by renewing the weekly top around $968, close to $965 by the press time of early Tuesday morning in Europe.
In addition to the metal’s ability to cross the key moving average, the recently firmer RSI also keeps XPT/USD bulls hopeful.
That said, a downward sloping resistance line from April 19, close to $980, lures short-term buyers of the bullion.
Following that, a two-month-long descending trend line, close to the $997, quickly followed by the $1,000 threshold, will challenge the platinum bulls.
Meanwhile, pullback moves remain elusive until staying beyond the 50-DMA level surrounding $961.
Also keeping XPT/USD bears away is the monthly support line, close to $937 at the latest.
Overall, platinum prices are ready for short-term advances but a reversal of the bearish trend from early March needs validation from the $1,000 round figure.
Trend: Further upside expected
