Crude oil for April delivery CLJ4 -0.43% fell $1.88, or 1.8%, to settle at $101.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest closing level since Valentine’s Day, after tapping a low of $101.16 during the session."
FCPO- "I Hope Price Would Retrace For Me To Long."
Hope is a dangerous element to have in trading. Hope that lies in any financial traders are some expensive tool to have because when something got wrong and equity balance starting to diminish, that trader would hope the price does come back for him to break even. Ditch any "hope" when you are trading, and I vouch you can do 100% better than you used to be. These changes will eventually display in your trading performance and financial results gradually. Palm oil price action is still signifying positive progression, making new highs and recover steadily after it went down for some intraday retracement. As most intraday traders will agree price always jittery even after it hit certain new high, these conditions are normal. Price will swiftly "auto balance" as it hit new high or new low as most stop order will be triggered and there is also more traders that wish to enter and exit the market at the same time. Long term outlook still remain Bullish on both technical and fundamental side. Recent drought weather condition likely slow down output while stockpiles recovery are still in check. Long term wise, the benchmark May have to break down below the support trend line in order to temporarily change the current Bullish trend to retracement phase. Conclusion, Bulls are still running rampantly and if you are still holding Short position, be wary as you might be stampede alive. For today, pivot support for May contract is located around 2,841 while resistance is pegged at 2,884.
