FCPO- Temporary Rebound

Do not get too excited as the benchmark August bounced up from major support level yesterday, we are yet out of the woods. The benchmark August was expected to recover slightly once it approach 2,487 level but it did dropped slightly to 2,483 level before recovering on late afternoon session. In long term, palm oil futures is still taking Bearish cue from slowing growth of export figures, that would not help much with growing inventories and steady production so far. With these external factor in mind, palm oil futures can become volatile once this temporary recover is over. It is not a science that the benchmark August "must" rebound once it hit that support level, but it is the matter of how "significant" was the support /resistance level at that time. If that certain support / resistance level required a long time to formed plus the pivot area manage to hold its line even after numerous attempt to break it, then it will become a significant support/resistance level. But even this significant support/resistance does not last forever, it can be broken and once it has been broken, serious force is likely followed right after that break out. Right now, we are looking at temporary rebound on the palm oil futures right after the benchmark August recovered to closed at 2,508 yesterday, nothing more. We should be expecting the market to recover more for today and the following day as Buyers manage to overcome Selling force around yesterday closing session. In other words, the benchmark August manage to closed with a Bullish hammer candle displayed by the daily candle chart shown above. For today, the first resistance level is pegged around 2,538 while support is located around 2,483~2,480 level.
