FCPO- First Attempt To Revive Preceding Uptrend
More work and time needed to be done before we can take the benchmark June starting to recover. This will be the first attempt for the benchmark June to gallop away from this weakness. It would be an easy task as the market is still Bearish about demand and inventory aspect. Much needed aid will come from Soy oil futures so that we would have some reasons for the palm oil futures to go up. Bullish candle formation is the first thing we are looking at to detect market reversal from Bearish to a more positive price action. A higher low and higher high on hourly will likely signify medium term trend changing role from negative to positive. Until the hourly chart on June contract created this candle formation, market would just stalling, trading within 2,670 ~ 2,640 level for this week. For today, more recovery hint will appear if the June contract manage to breach above 2,670 today while we are likely to see more sideways or ranging market if the June contract did go down below 2,640 level.
