FCPO: New High In The Making.

You heard it right, the upside momentum for FCPO is likely to stay, at least breaking the previous eight weeks high around 2,692 level. No it is not a fantasy to hit that level as the new May contract is just ten points away from it. Better still, the market might just open above 2,692 level today and wipe out most of the Short holder soon. What would you do if that event materialized, you can either do nothing and wait for a pull back to Long (if there is any pullback) or Long at open above 2,692 level because it is a valid upside break out. This break could have brings you, five to ten points higher after you Long. Well, do not take my word for it, let us see how high the market could go after it breach above 2,692 today. On technical overview, there is no sign of Bearish reversal yet, not even a shadow of it. The ability for the May contract to recover substantially signifies that the Bullish momentum still running strong for the moment. And if it does break above 2,692 level, more upside will follow. Another good news would be increased demand on the palm oil export, shipments from Malaysia rose 32 percent to 606,190 tons in the first 15 days of February from the same period a month earlier, Intertek, a cargo surveyor said. Palm oil output would also slow down due to dryer than expected weather currently. For today,  pivot support for the May contract is located around 2,657 while resistance is pegged at 2,708.
