"-Falling oil prices and a worse-than-expected slowdown in Chinese manufacturing activity sent stocks sharply lower in Hong Kong and Australia on Monday, while Japan provided a haven for the region’s investors. Oil extended its fall to below $65 a barrel following a surprise move Thursday by the world’s biggest oil producing nations to maintain their production target levels, meaning a glut in the market is likely to remain.

FCPO- It Is Not Hammer Time Yet, Recovery May Come First
Palm oil futures for Feb contract may recover today judging from healthy recovery from Soy oil, crude oil and some pull back on Dollar value overnight. If that three did not serve a good reason for some recovery in FCPO futures, I do not know what would. Bad news for those who just Shorted yesterday, it would be a short live Sell position if the market recovered more than 1% today. Personally, I am not a big fan of averaging up for Sell / Short positions but this condition may call for some exception. Traders need to pay close attention to averaging up or down with a losing position and know where is the next stop losses. Usually it would be a tight stop loss after the trader choose to go on averaging their position. Sometimes averaging up or down may save your losing position into a break even or slightly better outcome but it must be treated with extreme prejudice. Stick to your secondary stop loss if you are averaging down, always. Back to the outlook, FCPO Feb is likely running on Bearish trend judging on the price action. Lower highs and lower lows are obvious candle formation formed in hourly chart since last two weeks. But there is no surprise if the market would recover 4% to 5% from this week. You can call it whatever you want, dead cat bounce or just some temporary rebound, I am out if my stop losses hit, no question about that. Stop losses is there for a reason and trader should execute what they have planned for, not second guessing it again and again. For today, pivot support is located around 2,084 while resistance is pegged at 2,154.
