Palladium Futures: buyers reclaim control as key levels shift higher
Quick read for investors and traders: Palladium has flipped from weakness to strength. Price climbed from the $1,410 area and now trades above the VWAP ≈ $1,451, the developing POC ≈ $1,472, and the Value Area High (VAH) ≈ $1,490. The next magnets above are $1,502.5 (yesterday’s closing VWAP) and $1,515 (yesterday’s POC). Our orderFlow Intel read shows a bullish bias with high confidence.
Why this matters
When price rises and the VWAP, POC, and VAH all recalculate higher, it tells us the market is accepting higher prices, not just short-covering. That usually supports continuation until buyers meet serious resistance or fail to defend a retest.
What is orderFlow Intel (in plain English)
Idea: We study how trades are executed at the bid and ask, how volume shifts through time, and how price reacts around key reference points like VWAP, POC, VAH, and round numbers.
What we look for: signs that selling is being absorbed; whether buyers are truly in control or just getting a temporary push; whether pullbacks are being defended.
Benefit: It turns raw tape activity into a decision-support “compass,” helping you judge when a move is likely to continue, pause, or fail—without needing to watch every tick.
Current read and levels
Structure: VWAP is rising; price is holding above it. POC advanced to $1,472; VAH advanced to $1,490.
Upside magnets: $1,502.5 then $1,515. Firm acceptance above this band opens room toward $1,549–$1,585 in a later phase.
Support to monitor: $1,472–$1,451 (POC to VWAP). As long as buyers defend this zone, the short-term uptrend remains intact.
How to use this “map”
Bullish pathway: If price holds above $1,472–$1,451 and reclaims $1,502.5 → $1,515, momentum favors continuation.
Cooling phase: Failure to hold above $1,472 suggests a consolidation; watch VWAP ($1,451) for buyer defense.
Invalidation for short-term bulls: A sustained move back below VWAP with weak responses from buyers would downgrade the outlook.
New to VWAP, POC, VAH
VWAP: the market’s “average price” weighted by volume; above it shows buyers have the advantage; below it shows sellers have it.
POC: the price with the most traded volume; think of it as today’s balance point.
VAH/VAL: the upper and lower edges of the area where most trading occurred; moving above VAH signals acceptance of higher value.
Our stance
Based on orderFlow Intel—investingLive.com’s proprietary methodology—the market shows a bullish bias with high confidence. We will reassess if buyers stop defending $1,472–$1,451.
