Seems like the last time Palladium was significant was in the 1990s when Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager (the Studio 54 guys and later Morgan’s and other hotels) opened a New York city nightclub by that name in 1985. Everybody went there and the scene could get, shall we say, a little raucous. There was a famous shooting there in 1990, but the place closed in 1997 and the building was later razed. Now New York University has a dorm sitting on the spot.
Those were the days. But Palladium is starting to look significant again. Not the club though—the metal is what I am talking about. Take a look:
The weekly chart above shows why Palladium is looking important. The price is sitting just under the 200 week SMA. After a long run higher from the early 2009 to the peak in 2011, and then a sideways consolidation for nearly 5 years, the downside is starting to gain favor. It has not been since 2009 that the price of Palladium has closed under its 200 week SMA. With 2 days to go will it hold up this time?
