Analysis

  • Having shot higher to $1,717.75, palladium consolidated by pulling back to $1,595.75.
  • Prices have now started higher again and have punched through the top of the bull flag in the process, which looks bullish. 
  • The stochastics are striving higher too and, although the MACD has crossed lower, downward momentum has not increased so it could easily turn higher again. 

Conclusion

The market looks robust - the dip was well supported and another uptrend seems to be gathering steam again.
