FCPO- Digesting Bad Fundamental On Palm Oil Stocks.
Palm oil futures finished a little changed yesterday as traders are digesting how bad the market would retrace if the demand and export figures does not grow substantially this year. At closed, the benchmark Dec went up about RM5 to 2,471 level, volume was recorded higher at 20,243. Palm oil sentiment is already at bad shape when stocks increased worse than expected this year, growing to 2.4 millions tons and market participants are expecting it to hit about 3 millions tons early Jan next year. This record high palm oil stocks and static demand will inevitably limit major market recovery for this end of fourth quarter. Technically, the benchmark Dec is likely moving within the symmetrical triangle range shown on hourly chart above. A symmetrical triangle is generally regarded as a period of consolidation before the price moves beyond one of the identified trend lines. A break below the lower trend line is used by technical traders to signal a move lower, while a break above the upper trend line signals the beginning of a move upward. For a solid break out confirmation, traders use a sharp increase in volume or any other available technical indicator to confirm a breakout beyond one of the trend lines. But there was other meaning as well to this chart pattern. A symmetrical triangle also signifies trend continuation pattern. For this instances, if we took the current short term recovery, market should continue to recover further but if we consider medium term price action, market is said to move lower eventually. Today, pivot support for the benchmark Dec is located around 2,505 while resistance is pegged at 2,439.
