FCPO- Going To Look At This Rally Closely. 

There will be market recovery in any down trend and pull back in any uptrend. No trend is made the same way they use to be previously, there will be some collective force that will push it up when it has dropped too low or push it down if the price has gone up too high. Now, any effort relying too much on price prediction would only did more harm to your trading performance. In other words, you cannot in any way accurately predicted the price would go there or here at some particular level unless you are Nostradamus. You can make guesses but not certainty. Technically, yesterday swift rally was mostly due to oversold reading occur on hourly chart. Bargain hunters make their move when the benchmark July dropped closed to 4 months low, forcing most of the Short holders to cover their position when the market rose above 2,285 level. We are likely to expect recent soy oil rally will provide support for the market to recover temporary. For today, pivot support for the benchmark July 2,246 while resistance is pegged at 2,346.
