Palladium four-hour chart
On the daily chart, after making the high at $2,882.78 on July 6, XPD/USD has been under constant selling pressure. The descending trendline from the top acts as a strong resistance barrier for the bulls.
Being said, if prices attempt to break intraday high, it could meet the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,640 as the first upside target.
A daily close above the mentioned level will coincide with the breaking of the bearish sloping line adding more optimism for XPD/USD bulls.
Bulls will attempt to recapture the $2,655 horizontal resistance level followed by the high of August 3 at $2,683.29.
Alternatively, if price moves lower, it could retrace back to the $2,610 horizontal support level.
Any downtick in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) would amplify the selling pressure toward the low of August 10 at $2,588.
The next area of support would be the $2,575 horizontal support level.
