Palladium (XPD/USD) edges higher on Friday, bucking the previous session’s momentum. The metal prices opened higher but not able to sustain the momentum.

At the time of writing, XPD/USD is trading at $2,392, up 0.65% for the day.

Palladium daily chart

On the daily chart, after consolidating in a broader trading range of $2,680 and $2,580, XPD/USD fell sharply to test the low of $2,260, after breaking the range on August 17.

The metal took a sharp recovery to the high of $2,457.90 on August 24. However prices started retreating below but held near $2,400.

Being said, prices could move back to the previous day’s high at $2,480.

Next, the bulls will attempt to retest the $2,580 horizontal resistance level followed by the high of August 16 at $2,637.

Alternatively, if price moves lower, it could retrace back to the $2,350 horizontal support level.

Any downtick in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) would amplify the selling pressure toward the $2,300 key psychological levell.

The next area of support would be the low of March 10 at $2,289.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far.

The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.
