Platinum and silver became even cheaper than gold

Platinum and silver continue to fall cheaper than gold. Indeed, yesterday, platinum was threateningly approached the psychological limit of $900 per ounce. Silver tried to test its bottom at $16.15.
And while at this stage both metals are able to hold on to the important support, a breakthrough could initiate extremely massive sales and closing down long positions after triggered stops.
It is quite possible to see spikes in platinum and especially in silver, which is extremely volatile and is traded at relatively weak volumes.
Such a spike can safely take the silver with a dollar, and why not with a dollar and a half down. Recall that there are plenty of holidays in many places around the world, which would further weaken the liquidity.
So, all investors should be extremely careful. Meanwhile, we see how the platinum-gold ratio is already close to its record bottom after it is at a level of 0.6870.
At the same time, the gold-silver ratio is at a level of 80.5, which is also extremely high, according to historical standards.
By comparison, in the long run, this ratio was about 40, as every time when it reached this level, it rebounced above the psychological limit of 80.
