Palladium saw a 93% rally from the August 2018 low to the March 2019 high and with every
big move we can expect to see price become exhausted and form a pullback, reversal or consolidation.
In this case, we saw a period of consolidation which appeared in the form of a cup & handle pattern.
A cup & handle in an uptrend is a strong continuation pattern but only if the neckline is broken.
That did occur on September 19th 2019 and since then we have seen a 13% rally.
The pattern of trends followed by pullbacks continues and we are currently experiencing just that.
The current pullback has moved down 122 points in just 2 days and is currently finding support at the 50sma.
To confirm a continuation to the upside we want to see a break and close
above the October 30th high at $1,823.
If price fails at the current support area then we have the resistance turned support level at $1.615
which is a major support area.
We need to give price some time and space to move and as the overall trend is up,
the bias is for a continuation to the upside.
In the meantime, we have to see if price will follow the momentum and continue trending for some time.
