FKLI- Cash Market is Fueling The Rally.
Short holders beware as there is no telling whether the index futures would retrace on previous high at 1,668~1,670 level. Market could just blow above this previous high level and keep on rally at will as stock index is not showing any sign of stopping for the moment. Market participants might not be that sensitive to the political development on parliament dissolution at the moment. Much further rally signal was spotted when the Spot month futures went up above 1,635 ealier Monday this week. On previous Monday the March contract went up about 34 points to 1,663 before settling down at 1,655 level on closing bell. Short covering that forced Long orders to flew in the market helped the market rallied as well. Technically, we are looking at further recovery if the market able to breach above 1,668~1,670 resistance level based on previous high. Market has become Bullish on medium and short term basis, traders can opt to go Long if the market retrace down to 1,648~ 1,650 first pivot support level today.

FCPO- Upside Remain Intact
Yes, you heard it right, upside remain intact even after the market has retrace about 3.11% from 2,504 to 2,426 yesterday. At least on medium term, palm oil futures still able to resume its preceding upside momentum after it went down for correction. Market participants were spook by export data that came short on expectation. Export for the ending March month went down slightly ealier Monday, forcing market to re-act negatively after it was published. For this near term, palm oil futures is likely tracking overnight rally made from Soy oil (due to cold weather concern) as I did not see any other factor that could support price recovery other than its rival product at the moment. Daily chart suggest that this correction may prolong judging from the Bearish engulfing candle formed on previous Monday this week. Could it be a coincidence when the benchmark Jun bounced off from previous week support around 2,426 area shown on hourly chart above ? The longer each support or resistance took to formed, the more reliable the level are. If the support and resistance took a weeks to formed, there are much information stored on that level that what you might think. A breach below weekly support level bring chaotic corrections swifter that most of us expected while a breach above weekly resistance level will bring frantic uncontrollable rally, forcing Short holders to cover their positions. Technically, the benchmark Jun is still trapped on Bears control on intraday or short term perspective as there is no higher low. What we can see on 15 minutes time frame was a so called "base" from the price to fall further after the market consolidate, two hours before the market closed. For today, pivot support for the benchmark Jun is located around 2,426~ 2,428 while resistance is pegged at 2,4663
