Volatile Consolidation and Upside Potential
Precious metals continue to trade in a highly volatile consolidation phase.
After this consolidation, I expect a continuation of the primary trend, meaning further upside.
Among all metals, platinum looks the most attractive to me at the moment.
Palladium is also interesting, but it is less liquid, and good entry and exit opportunities are not always available.
At this stage, I see a favorable opportunity to enter or increase positions in precious metals.

XPT stands at the cusp of a multi-year bull cycle
We all saw what the shiny boomer rocks did in 2025. Gold and silver massively outperformed crypto, driven by inflation hedging, macro uncertainty and positioning resets.
Whether that exact dynamic repeats in 2026 is less clear. Gold is already up ~80% from the prev YTD levels, silver nearly 190%, so a lot of the easy upside has likely been pulled forward. But when you move down the beta curve of precious metals, one thing stands out clearly: platinum (XPT) still hasn’t broken out of its multi-decade accumulation range.
Price opened 2026 just below all-time highs, after spending years compressing beneath them. We're talking about almost two decades since the 2008 highs. From a technical perspective, this structure looks like classic long-term absorption resolving to the upside.
Fundamentally, the setup is equally compelling. Platinum sits at the intersection of a deepening structural supply-demand imbalance, accelerating industrial demand tied to clean energy and emissions technologies plus some supportive macro tailwinds. Short-term volatility from policy shifts or inventory adjustments could still produce pullbacks, including potential retests of yearly open or prior acceptance zones, but those would likely be corrective (absorped quickly) rather than trend-breaking.
The core driver is supply
The platinum market has now run persistent deficits for three consecutive years, with global demand exceeding supply by roughly 850k to 1M ounces annually. According to the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), these deficits are expected to persist or even widen into 2026, pushing above-ground inventories toward levels not seen since 2015.
This supply rigidity creates sustained upward pressure over time. Unlike gold,
