Palladium Price Analysis: Two-month-old support line defends XPD/USD bulls above $2,500

Palladium prices fade bounce off multi-day-long support trend line.
Bearish MACD, failures to cross 21-DMA keep sellers hopeful.
Convergence of 50-DMA, 100-DMA appears tough nut to crack for bears.

Palladium (XPD/USD) retreats to $2,515 while paring the intraday gains ahead of Wednesday’s Asian session.

The precious metal bounced off an upward sloping support line from mid-December 2021 during the last week. However, the following rebound couldn’t even cross the 21-DMA.

That said, bearish MACD signals also favor sellers even if the quote stays 1.30% up intraday as the 50% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of December-March upside, near $2,487, limits the short-term downside.

In a case where the quote drops below $2,487, the aforementioned support line from late 2021, around $2,455 by the press time, will be crucial to watch for the XPD/USD bears as a break of which will direct the quote towards 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of $2,261.

Should palladium bears keep reins past $2,261, a confluence of the 100-DMA and the 200-DMA surrounding $2,160-70, will be on their radar.

Alternatively, recovery moves beyond the 21-DMA level of $2,682 needs validation from the $3,000 round figure to recall the XPD/USD buyers eyeing the monthly top near $3,411.

GBP/USD appears well offered near 1.3160

GBP/USD builds on Tuesday’s losses, although it now manages to pick up some pace and bounce off earlier multi-month troughs near 1.3140. The Greenback’s solid performance and continued political turmoil in the UK are keeping Cable under persistent pressure, with little sign of a meaningful recovery.

EUR/USD trims losses, hovers around 1.1350

EUR/USD now regains some composure and rebounds to the 1.1350 zone on Wednesday, partially reversing the prior pullback to fresh yearly lows near 1.1320. Meanwhile, spot remains on the back foot as the US Dollar continues to draw support from hawkish Fed expectations and uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran peace negotiations.

Gold puts $4,000 to the test, new yearly lows

Gold accelerates its decline and gyrates around the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday, its lowest level since November 2025. In the meantime, tighter-for-longer Fed expectations and a broadly firmer US Dollar continue to weigh on the yellow metal, while uncertainty surrounding a potential US-Iran peace agreement has done little to revive demand for the safe haven space.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP trade under pressure as September Fed rate-hike odds increase

Bitcoin is trading between $62,000 and $63,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday, weighed down by headwinds stemming from macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

5.90% to 5.45%: Why the Pound ignored the bond market’s relief rally

Keir Starmer resigned on Monday, and the Pound barely moved. That near-silence is the tell. Sterling's real driver these past four months has not been the prime minister, nor the left-leaning frontrunner lining up to replace him, but the long end of the gilt curve, which answers to a force no British politician controls.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
