Palladium Price Analysis: XPD/USD bulls attack 100-DMA around $2,650

  • Palladium stays mildly bid near eight-day top, rejects Friday’s pullback.
  • RSI recovery, receding bearish bias of MACD backs bounce off five-month-old support.
  • Descending trend line from early May tests buyers.

Palladium (XPD/USD) refreshes intraday top with $2,652, up 0.41% on a day, as European traders brace for the bell.

The precious metal stepped back from the highest since June 17 the previous day as 100-DMA probed the bulls. However, recently improving conditions of RSI and MACD portrays the gradually gaining bullish momentum to back the commodity’s another battle with the key moving average around $2,662.

A daily closing beyond $2,662 becomes necessary for the XPD/USD bulls to aim for May’s low near $2,726. Though, any further upside will be questioned by a downward sloping trend line from early May, near $2,765.

Alternatively, pullback moves may test the $2,600 threshold before highlighting an ascending support line from late January, around $2,505.

It’s worth noting that lows marked during late March highlight $2,520 as an extra barrier before hitting the key support line whereas February’s top around $2,495 becomes an additional filter to the south of $2,505.

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.

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.
