On a recent X post, technical analyst Rafael discovered a new technical formation in Sibanye Stillwater stock. The company produces platinum and palladium.

The stock also regained the resistance at around $16.56, as indicated in the chart. This was a price-capped level in the earlier recovery period. Recapturing this area was an indication of a positive upward trend. The analyst observed that the structure could be indicative of a distribution phase followed by the next move. The more prolonged trend was stuck along the platinum and palladium strength.

Sibanye Stillwater Recovery Exhibits Good Price Structure

In the stock chart, there was a past peak of around $23.00 to $24.00. This area has become the second stronghold. The level of price will have to exceed this point in order to maintain itself. The other resistance level is close to the psychological zone of $20.00. This level was also a predecessor consolidation area.

The levels of support are still well defined on the chart format. The first support is close to $10.50, where it remained during the last rally. The greater structural support can be found at around $6.50. The major bottom is $5.73, where there was capitulation. The cycle projections also indicate that there is a potential reversal to the downside to $6.00 to $7.00.

Momentum indicators verified better balanced situations. The RSI value was close to 55.11, and the signal line of the RSI was close to 51.61. This was a positive momentum move reading that did not exhibit overbought. Increasing volume in the rally indicated a good accumulation of interest.

Also, the Elliott Wave pattern indicated long-term optimism of values as high as $38.00 to $40.00. This was level in line with the long-term upper trendline. The estimated target indicated the forecast of better platinum and palladium markets.

Platinum Holds Stably Above Major Support of $2,000

Additionally, Trading Economics revealed that platinum has increased by $55.4 and was trading at $2,077.1 per ounce. This was a rise of 2.74%/day. The chart depicted that platinum was beginning at around $950 to $1,000 previously. Later, prices steadily increased to above $1,200 and hit the mark of $1,500.

The rally continued to pick up pace towards the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. Platinum surged to overcome the psychological level of $2,000. The prices jumped fast to reach almost $2,200 and further to $2,600. The rally was at its peak of close to $2,800 to $2,900 and then reversed.

After the peak, platinum has corrected sharply. Prices went down to less than $2,500 and later down to less than $2,300. The market stabilized at an average of $2,050 to $2,100. The possession of over $2,000 maintained the greater upward framework.

The levels of resistance have become close to $2,200 and $2,400. Resistance is measured at a stronger level of resistance—$2,600. To the upside, the support is solid at $2000 and further, though more precisely, it is around $1800 to $1900.

Technicals Indicate Consolidation Following Severe Correction

On the other hand, the metal trading at TradingView was recorded as $2,063.44 per ounce. Metal appreciated by $64.87 in the session. Platinum opened at $1,998.22 and temporarily fell to $1,993.05. The prices then went on to stabilize and rebound to $2,096.84.

The rebound indicated that the interest among buyers was high towards the $2,000 support level. This area was still critical following the previous redress of $2,700. There was active demand above this level.

Weaker trend strength was indicated by momentum indicators. The MACD was negative, and the MACD line was at -51.99. The signal line was 0.04, and the histogram was not positive. This affirmed further conditions of a consolidation.

The RSI was 43.94, and it remained below the neutral 50 level. This was a weakened purchasing power. The opposition was close to $2,100, then to $2,200 and $2,400. The support stood at a good level of $2,000 and risks going to $1,900 when breached.

Platinum group metals interest was manifested in the platinum recovery and Sibanye Stillwater rally. The market participants were still observing major support and resistance levels.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
