On the Charts

 

  • As we can observe on the Palladium Weekly Chart, the metal after the big downward movements it finally reached the remarkable price level of $1,615
  • That point consists the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (From 842 to 2883) and a previous inside support level
  • As expected, the price reacted on the $1,615 price level, moved to the upside, and now it is testing the 50 weeks Moving Average, the blue upward trendline and a previous resistance point at $1,818
  • The momentum remains Bearish, since both Rate of Change 6 and 13 periods are below 0
  • If the price finally returns, closes below the upward trendline, and breaks the $1,615 level then we may potentially see the price moving lower to the $1,270 level
  • Otherwise, if the price closes above the upward trendline there is a possibility that we might see the price moving higher to the next resistance level, at $2,250 level
