FCPO- Eyeing More Upside, Looking At Medium Term Role Reversal
Most of the rally happened last week was highly related to Bullish anticipation on palm oil stock piles will dropped over 10% and further rally was re-affirm when the data came out with 11% stock piles reduction in palm oil. We have actually twice break out on palm oil futures last week prior to market rally last Friday. The first one occur on the 8th May when the July contract breached 2,280 and the second break out was done on 10th May last Friday when the July contract gap up above 2,290 level. So there you have double small break out in hourly chart couple with previous sign of rally before the July contract breach above the resistance trend line shown. Final result from this recovery, market manage to clock about RM100 or 4%, which still leave more room for it to climb as typical medium term rally in long term Bearish market can run for around 8%~12%. Technically, short term outlook for the benchmark July remain Bullish after the price went on and formed higher high and higher low candle pattern. If the July contract manage to rally another 1% this week, we might looking at promising medium reversal role to Bullish. But all these will be only possible if there is some significant rally on Soy oil, or known as palm oil rival products. For today, pivot support for July contract is located around 2,292 while resistance is pegged at 2,337.
