With the rate of Soy oil and majority of the edible commodity falling, there is no telling where is the next support for palm oil price. As of writing, Soy oil futures dipped to multi year to 33.73 cents per pound, making it the worse losses so far. Palm oil futures is likely following its rival oil foot steps soon. For start, palm oil futures might be opening twenty to thirty points lower today. Soy oil futures is likely set the tone for the palm oil opening bell and there would not be any different for today. Both palm oil technical and fundamental ground are still Bearish. MPOB reported very Bearish news as output and palm oil stocks rose 6.1% and 1.5% respectively, and export was down 2.3%. Not only that, technical outlook has been Bearish as well with series of lower high and lower lows can be found on daily chart. Even most of the time frame was Bearish all this time, shorter time frame traders or intraday traders will have better flexibility to navigate their Long or Short positions throughout the day. Never overnight a position if you are an intraday trader, I saw too many example intraday trader turned into overnight trader, especially holding on losing position. And of course, shrinking their account equity after that, not knowing what to do or what to expect even after numerous guide provided. These inferior traits that applied in trading business will only derive one result, blowing up a capital account fast. The way that a trader can progress would be, learn how risk work, how to manage it and at the end knowing when to stop and when to hold on. Unfortunately, most instances I saw was traders misplaced their hopes and fear. They are fearful when they are right, hopeful when they are wrong. Both of these behaviour are destructive weapon you brought in when trading. To sum up on today outlook, palm oil futures is still Bearish on every time frame, be it short term or long term, most price recovery to pivot resistance level is a good place to go Short.
