Palladium Weekly: More valuable than Gold?
Trading Indicator: Ichimoku Cloud
Resistance: $1560
Support: $1100 - $979 (618 to 786 Fib retracement). This is also confirmed by the Senkou A & B of cloud.
Momentum: Stochastic and RSI heavily overbought. A steep profit taking pullback would not be surprising.
Trade Setup: Wait for a pullback in Palladium before initiating fresh buys. We are in a sub 4 wave count and larger ABC correction.
Fundamentals: Precious metals are taking a step back and Palladium will not be immune in the short-term as Gold takes a break. US/China trade deal could have an opposite impact on Palladium as such a deal would usher in consumer confidence in the two largest economies. Palladium largest use (60% of value) comes from its use in catalytic converters for vehicles. This rare metal makes the pollutants from vehicles much less harmful. Trade deal could spur automobile purchases in China/India and other parts of the world. Such a deal between the two largest economies could delay recession worries, increase consumer confidence/spending on larger purchases like vehicles, and thus, more demand for Palladium.
Cheers,
Bobby
