Palladium: Is it indeed going for a bubble burst?By Andria Pichidi Palladium, Daily & Weekly Spot palladium tumbled by more than 17% from record highs at $1,609.85 at the end of March, with the main catalyst of this drift possibly being the closing of positions as the end the month and the end of quarter (i.e. end of the contract) came. The plummet was the biggest drop seen in the past 2 years, raising concerns regarding a possible bubble burst of the $1,116 rally since 2016. This amounts to a 234% rise. As Commerzbank stated: “In our opinion, a correction of the palladium price was long overdue. It is not yet possible to say whether yesterday’s plunge was the bursting of a bubble; for this to be the case, the price would need to fall even more sharply or further.” Indeed, technically speaking, we cannot claim that the bubble has burst, as the precious metal has retraced less than 23.6% of 3-year gains and less than 38.2% of 2018 gains. Meanwhile, it holds above the 20-week SMA, which has been providing a strong Support area for the asset the past three quarters. Theoretically speaking however, Palladium is strongly positive correlated with the car industry as it finds 80% of its demand from gasoline autocars. The source of Palladium’s performance the last decade, though, was and still is the global supply deficit, fired by the car industry demand. Considering only the 2017 supply, the deficit reached 801K ounces. Despite the latest decline in Palladium’s prices, it is unlikely that the demand for palladium will change significantly the next few years. This could be explained by the tighter emission standards, as despite the overall economic slowdown, the auto sales slowdown in China (due to tax cuts) and US, the higher recycling volume, and the high price of palladium, car-makers must meet emission standards. Hence they are quite “forced” to use palladium, as it is the metal used in catalyst converters to reduce emissions from gasoline engines. In Europe on the other hand, the swing from diesel engines has hit European producers and as a consequence platinum price as well, which was the most preferable metal for reducing emissions in diesel engines. This balanced the risks stated above, for Palladium’s price, as diesel engines are “undesirable”. The expensive palladium and unwelcome platinum could eventually push manufacturers to turn to potential PGM-free engines (PGM stands for Platinum Group Metals). However this would take time. A potential approach for manufacturers could be to substitute palladium for platinum on engines other than diesel ones. However this is a scenario has not be accomplished yet and seems inevitable to happen for now. So far, the legislation and the taxation for diesel engines, but also the general tighter emission standards, have boosted the substitution of diesel engines into alternative engines, such as electric, hybrid and petrol which all require the use of more palladium. Gasoline vehicles are expected to maintain a majority market share to 2025 and to increase in absolute numbers including gasoline hybrids. These factors could keep palladium demand rising, unscathed from the economic slowdown and the higher recycling volume. Meanwhile, in China, the world’s largest consumer, Morgan Stanley reported that new legislation will be applied from 2020 which will require 30% more PGMs on each vehicle. This is another factor that is likely to keep demand high. As Norilsk Nickel Group, one of the largest palladium mining company stated: “The demand for palladium is growing.” “Per unit PGM consumption in hybrid cars is higher than in traditional vehicles with the same ICE volume; accordingly, we expect palladium consumption to increase by 3 mln oz by 2025. “ Additionally, according to research from BASF, the world’s leading supplier of catalysts, demand for palladium in China is expected to grow from 2.332 million ounces to 3.429 million ounces by 2022. As the supply deficit is more in favour of palladium than platinum or any other PGM metal, the palladium price is not expected to extend the sell off for long. Currently, palladium is accelerating lower again, after the small rebound from last week’s low, at 1,331.90. Having met the Resistance area at the edge of the upper weekly Bollinger Bands pattern at 1609.85 on March 21, the sharp pullback seems to be a correction of this long term rally. Looking at the technical indicators , the longterm outlook keep engrossing by a strongly positive sentiment. The medium term however and more precisely the daily indicators, turn to a decreasing momentum, signalling a possible extension of the latest drift. The MACD lines turned negative, with lower Bollinger Bands and RSI pointing downwards. A closing breakout below 1-week Support at 1,331.9 could push palladium to December 2018 and January 2019 levels. The next Support is at 1,275 , which is the mid of 38.2%-50.0% Fibonacci retracement of the August 2018-March 2019 upleg. Further losses would open the way to a significant area for the longterm outlook as it is a break of this area that could confirm a bubble burst and could open the way to 1-year lows. This area is placed between 200-day EMA and the 50% fib level, i.e. 1,220-1,235 area. On the flipside, Resistance comes between the latest peak and the 50-day EMA, at 1,440-1,465. The breach and break the latter could retest the record peak at 1,619 .

Bearish divergence evident on Palladium Spot price $XPDUSDPalladium has had a run that can be described as nothing short of extravagant. Since bottoming out recently on the 16th August 2018, we have seen the price rally from $833 to the current high of $1615. To put it into perspective, that means the palladium price has basically doubled in a space of 7 months. With the recent inversion of the yield curve and markets taking a breather on Friday, we have seen the Palladium price come off +-3% in the form of a massive bearish engulfing candle. What is also interesting to note is that we are seeing bearish divergence where the RSI indicator has formed a lower high, not confirming the higher high in the spot price of Palladium. These kind of divergences can often result in quite a strong correction in price. Although i am by no means trying to call a top to this parabolic move (which is dangerous), i think the chart is finally starting to show some signs of caution. Also if you look at the weekly we have formed a massive weekly reversal candle which could further add conviction to this bearish call. I would prefer to see the recent daily closing lows of $1516-$1517 taken out to be fully comfortable an interim top is in place. If anything, caution is advised chasing this extreme move. Perhaps we also start to see the local platinum miners on the JSE consolidate their recent strong moves $JSEAMS $JSENHM $JSEIMP

Palladium - Short term top?Good weekend everyone, lets look at Palladium, a metal similar to platinum and very used on eletromechanics system like relays, also used on OIL industry as a catalyst. This metal has been on a very long term rally upside that never seens to stop, but, nothing go up or down forever. This week candle closed as a bearish pin bar and as we can see the volume is getting smaller and smaller, now, of course i'll not trade based ONLY on a simple pin bar, and since we are at ATH we dont have previous resistances to analyse =) Daily chart is where im looking forward a short opportunity, if the price break and close below orange line i may short with good RxR targeting fico retracement zones and weekly 50ema. The low volume on last wave say that maybe the demand is slowly decreasing, maybe its too expensive now our beloved palladium ? And now we have a beautiful RSI BEARISH DIVERGENCE which give us confluence to try this one. Anyway remember, trade AGAINST the main trend is always dangerous and the main trend for palladium right now is BULLISH, thats why always trade with proper money management. This Trading Idea is to be used for educational purposes only. This idea does not represent financial advice and its NOT a signal. You should trade based only on your own technic and knowledge.

Palladium - Going HOT!Here is my analysis on palladium. Although the raw material is very important for batteries of electric cars, it has now come in a resistance area, where I think it will not be so easy to shoot beyond. First, the red C = red A and the bracketed C is 1.618 * the length of the bracketed A. That would be a harmonious conclusion of the upward movement and now it would be advisable to secure profits. As a producer of palladium, I would now sell 50% of my annual production on the futures market for the next 5 years to secure cash flow for the long term. The other 50% of annual production I consider a reserve if the price continues to rise. If, as expected, a top is formed, then I would sell another 25% of the production over the long term. However, it is important to be quick, because the competitors will then do the same and then the price would develop along the black arrow.

Why I would wait on Palladium correction before buyingMMHVW so XPD have been the talk of the town recently - the metal used for catalyst conversion, hydrogens fuel storage and electrodes. With the move from internal combustion operated vehicles to EV’s and hybrid’s the demand for XPD will increase and could push price way higher. Reminder however that markets moves in waves dynamic and logarithmic, not static or linear (Glenn Neely), I’m expecting a pullback $1670 or roundabout to $1100 or roundabout. This would be the time to go long/buy.

Palladium Corre e e e cting. Passing the available parabolic support, to 1320s? that is the price longitude for violet channel rooted 15 Aug '18 under the current jag trajectory. Scrolling further down, on the left chart suggest a 'scandalous' 45% decline. ALL metals are off the cliff . . echoes of monetary necessities and niceties of pacing and downwards pressure pressure. what do I know, Nothing, I'm a poet, at most. Industrial use of Palladium, in catalytic converts does not account for the perceived value of Palladium, The monetary implications of Platinum group metals are more relevant in the Global Debt Glut. Party with gold is a good sign. Pally was flaying kite high.
