FCPO- No Sign For Recovery Yet.
It is Selling setup from here when the benchmark August attempt to rebound due to any reason at all. There is no reason for us to "hope" for miracle to happen for the moment, so that palm oil futures will be able to recover. Going into the third months of weakness due to favorable weather condition for production and weak demand, palm oil futures has been Selling off, and the latest 2,379 level yesterday. No need to remind you that 2,379 was the lowest level since Oct 2013, and yes it is weak and can still go lower than current level. No promising sign or any reading on oscillator (yes it is oversold on daily chart) that suggest the benchmark August is going to recover this week. Your best bet would be Shorting if the benchmark August attempt to recover to today first pivot resistance level, place some stop loss slightly above those level and expect to cash out up to 10 points when the market does move down. Hourly chart wise, the reading is still good for the market to go down further this week judging on lower low and lower high candle formation that are still forming so far. Another supporting factor for palm oil futures to stay weak would be, weak Soy oil price which traded at 38.64 cents per pound as the time of writing today. For today, pivot point for support is located around 2,355 while resistance is pegged at 2,387.
