March crude oil CLH4 -0.17% rose 43 cents, or 0.4%, to settle at $100.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, erasing the contract’s 12-cent pullback Tuesday.
FCPO- Sustainable Price Growth ?
That is the question most likely asked by those who are taking long term positions in the commodities market. Would this or any of the other rallies going to stay for real ? No one knows the answer for that frankly. But what we can do here is apply the risk management if things would reverse and gone wrong, that would be the best outcome for any traders out there. Control what we could control, losses and profit are meant to be a benchmark figures and we can control that. Stop wondering where is the price is heading next, re-act to it will brings you better trading performance over time. Technically, we are looking at five weeks high and there is still no sign for the rallies to stop, not yet. The market might open slightly lower today, but that would not last long as traders will likely support price from falling. Palm oil stocks and Soy oil outlook is getting better due to weather concern. Until we see the benchmark contract hit six weeks high at 2,670, all sail is pointing towards North. For bigger picture, the benchmark month is still trapped within a huge range within 2,485~2,692 level. A "super" upside cycle is likely to happen if the benchmark month breach above twelve weeks high at 2,692 level, which would took about two to six weeks if the external factors continue to favor us. For today, pivot support for April contract is located around 2,616 while resistance is pegged at 2,653.
