FCPO- Going South Big Time !!
Today's session will be starting with gap down due to substantial correction by Soy oil on previous Friday as USDA forecast sales on grain will declined significantly as shipment on South America was recorded lower. The benchmark May is trading weaker and weaker end of last week, showing the signs of Bulls are giving up the fight. And plus recent weakness by Soy oil, May contract is likely open gap down and continue to trade lower. External side, palm oil export tax is going to be raise up to 10% on March, pressuring palm oil futures to recover. Technically, the price outlook for palm oil futures is going to be grim if there is another gap down today. With another gap down coming today, it will mark another lower high (maybe lower low of the market open around 2,510 level). These significant Bearish formation on the hourly chart are showing further weakness can be easily achieve. The May contract does attempt to recover up to 2,585 level but retrace quickly after that, signifying double top formation on hourly chart above. It seem that this temporary topped out market will turn out to be a major correction from here. Conclusively, medium term and short term technical perspective are likely changed from Bullish to Bearish this week. For today, pivot support for May contract is located around 2,510~2,500 while resistance is pegged at 2,549 level.
