One of my jobs as a technical analyst was to provide trading ideas. Sometimes this was intraday and sometimes these were longer term strategic positions.
When it comes to intraday entry points I like to use a couple of indicators at least to give me a potential entry point and for me, my dream duo is the Fibonacci retracement and the ichimoku cloud combo. I particularly like to use this on the one hour and 4 hourly chart.
The above 4 hourly chart on palladium is showing that the corrective move higher is about to run into the top of the cloud and the 38.2% retracement of the recent sell off at 1892. The combination of the two should act as decent resistance and we will be looking for signs of failure here.
