Palladium daily chart
On the daily chart, the metal moves in the ascending trend from the lows of $2,260 on August 23. The formation of ‘Spinning Top’ near the high of $2,471 resulted in the price correction back to $2,390.
The metal took shelter near the lower bullish slop line, below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,416.21.
Being said, prices could move back to the $2,430 horizontal resistance level.
Next, the bulls will attempt to retest the $2,475 horizontal resistance level followed by the psychological $2,500 level.
Alternatively, if price sustained below the mentioned ascending trendline, it could test the $2,375 horizontal support level.
Any downtick in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) would amplify the selling pressure toward the $2,350 horizontal support level.
The next area of support would be the key support area around the $2,300 level.
