Palladium Price Analysis: Weekly resistance line probes XPD/USD bulls

  • XPD/USD struggles to keep the previous day’s recovery moves.
  • Bullish MACD, sustained trading beyond the key SMA keeps buyers hopeful.
  • 61.8% FE adds to the upside filters, three-week-old horizontal area offers extra support.

Palladium (XPD/USD) picks up bids from intraday low while flashing $2,965.77 as a quote ahead of Tuesday’s European session. In doing so, the bullion justifies its pullback moves from a short-term resistance line and sustained trading beyond important supports.

Given the MACD flashing bullish signals, Palladium is up for another battle with a downward sloping trend line from May 04, near $2,991.

However, the quote’s further upside will be tested by the $3,000 threshold and then by the monthly peak, also the record top, near $3,020.

In a case where Palladium rallied beyond $3,020, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of its April-May upside, followed by Friday’s pullback, around $3,080 will gain the market’s attention.

Meanwhile, a confluence of 100-SMA and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level near $2,910 could limit the commodity’s short-term downside.

Also challenging the Palladium sellers is a horizontal area comprising multiple highs marked since April 21, around $2,900 round-figure.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair. Meanwhile, hawkish RBA expectations also keep the major underpinned.

USD/JPY holds gains near 158.00 after Japan's weak Household Spending data

USD/JPY clings to gains around 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains depressed as the overnight fall in US bond yields counters a hawkish Fed and geopolitical uncertainties, could cap any downside in the pair.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Gold has given up some ground after an initial bullish attempt to reach weekly highs, returning to below the $4,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The US Dollar’s strong upside momentum, combined with rising US Treasury yields across the curve, seems to keep further gains in the yellow metal under scrutiny.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is
EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
