Palladium has been losing ground for 8 days Today's positive session could indicate a brief correction amid a broader downtrend, or, the start of a potential reversal. After closing the previous trading day at $1,279, CME Palladium is up to $1,283.5 per troy ounce, which makes for a move of 0.35%/$4.5 today.
With regards to technical trend indicators, chart analysis show that the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is below -100, meaning the market price is unusually low and below its rolling moving average. Technical analysis indicates that a new, strong downtrend could be forthcoming with short positions favored. Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Palladium's lower Bollinger Band® is at $1,259.2, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers.
With market volatility ebbing, the current technical outlook indicates Palladium will remain range-bound for the immediate future.
