9/6/5 20-Day EMA Holding as Support So Far Friday’s candlestick (Jun 6) was a doji bar closing slightly above the middle of its range. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bears could create a follow-through bear bar closing below the 20-day EMA, or if the bulls could create a bull bar reversing higher instead like June 3. The market opened higher during the day's session but reversed below the June 5 low and the 20-day EMA. However, the follow-through selling was limited and the market reversed to close unchanged. The bears could not create a follow-through bear bar below the 20-day EMA. The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and Jun 3) and a double top bear flag (May 14 and Jun 3). The doji bar on Friday disappointed the bears as they could not create strong follow-through selling closing below the 20-day EMA. They must create strong bear bars trading below the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of another strong leg down. The bulls want a reversal from a wedge bull flag (May 16, May 26, and May 30). They see the market creating a double bottom bull flag (May 30 and Jun 6). They want the 20-day EMA to act as support, forming higher lows. So far, this is still the case (May 30 and Jun 6). They want a breakout above the 4000 high followed by a measured move based on the height of the recent small trading range which will take the market to around the 4150 area. The 4030 area could also be an area of resistance (weekly 20-day EMA). They must create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA and breaking above the May 14 high to increase the odds of a reversal. Production for June should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy so far looks decent. Export: Remain to be seen. For tomorrow (Monday, June 9), traders will see if the bulls can create a bull entry bar testing near the Jun 3 high area. Or will the bears get another attempt to close below the 20-day EMA? The market is about balanced for the bulls and bears, and neither side has a significant edge yet. Andrew

6/6/25 - FT Bear Bar or No FT Selling like Jun 3? Thursday’s candlestick (Jun 5) was a bear bar closing near its low with a small tail below. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could continue to create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA, or if the bears would be able to develop bear bars trading back below the 20-day EMA in the next few days instead. The market traded lower for the day testing the 20-day EMA, but did not close below it. The bulls want a reversal from a wedge bull flag (May 16, May 26, and May 30). They want the 20-day EMA to act as support, forming a higher low. They see the market creating a double bottom bull flag (May 30 and Jun 5). They want a breakout above the 4000 high followed by a measured move based on the height of the recent small trading range which will take the market to around the 4150 area. They must create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA and breaking above the May 14 high to increase the odds of a reversal. They want tomorrow to close with a bull body, creating poor follow-through selling for the bears (like Jun 3). The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and Jun 3) and a double top bear flag (May 14 and Jun 3). They hope the May 14 high area (around 4000) will act as resistance. They managed to create a bear bar testing the 20-day EMA today. They must create a follow-through bear bar closing below the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of another strong leg down. Production for June should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy so far looks decent. Export: Remain to be seen. For tomorrow (Friday, June 6), traders will see if the bears can create a follow-through bear bar closing below the 20-day EMA. Or will the bulls be able to create a bull bar reversing higher instead like June 3? Andrew

5/6/25 Bulls Need To Create Strong Bull Bars, No FT Selling Yet Wednesday’s candlestick (Jun 4) was a bear bar doji closing in its upper half with a long tail below. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could continue to create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA, or if the bears would be able to develop bear bars trading back below the 20-day EMA in the next few days instead. The market gapped down during the day session but the follow-through selling was limited, closing the day in its upper half. The bulls got some follow-through buying albeit weak. The bulls want a reversal from a wedge bull flag (May 16, May 26, and May 30). They want the 20-day EMA to act as support, forming a higher low and a wedge bull flag (with the first two legs being the May 16 and May 26 lows). So far, this is the case. They want a breakout above the 4000 high followed by a measured move based on the height of the recent small trading range which will take the market to around the 4150 area. They must create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA and breaking above the May 14 high to increase the odds of a reversal. The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and Jun 3) and a double top bear flag (May 14 and Jun 3). They hope the May 14 high area (around 4000) will act as resistance. They attempted to create a reversal in the last 2 days but both times the follow-through selling was limited. They must create bear bars trading below the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of another strong leg down. Production for June should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy so far remains to be seen. Export: Remain to be seen. For tomorrow (Thursday, June 5), traders will see if the bulls can continue to create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA. If they can create a strong breakout above the 4000 area, the odds of a measured move up to around 4150 will increase. Or will the bears be able to create bear bars trading back below the 20-day EMA in the next few days instead? The market dynamic for tomorrow is about the same as Wednesday. Andrew

9/5/25 Start of 2-Legged Sideways to Up Pullback? Bulls Need FT Thursday's candlestick (May 8) was an outside bull bar closing near its high. In our previous report, we said the market could still trade at least a little lower. Traders would see if the bears could create another follow-through bear bar, or if the market would trade lower, but the candlestick closes with a long tail below or a bull body. The market traded slightly lower, but reversed to close as a big bull bar with a prominent tail below. The bears want a strong breakout below the January low, followed by a measured move based on the height of the 5-month trading range, which would take the market to the 3200 area. If the market trades higher, the bears want it to stall around the 20-day EMA (around 3950), forming a double top bear flag. They want the pullback to be weak and sideways (overlapping candlesticks, bear bars, doji(s), and prominent tails above candlesticks). The bulls want a reversal from a lower low major trend reversal and a wedge pattern (Apr 9, Apr 22, and May 8). They want a failed breakout below the January low. They hope to get at least a small two-legged sideways to up pullback lasting a few days. The pullback phase may have begun. Since Thursday's candlestick was an outside bull bar, the bulls need to create a follow-through bull bar to increase the odds of testing near the 20-day EMA. They want a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) Pullback, lasting about 2 weeks. The market broke out below the January low on Monday with follow-through selling on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday's candlestick traded lower but reversed into an outside bull bar. While the selloff since April 2 was strong, the move has lasted a long time and is slightly climactic. The wedge pattern increases the odds of a small 2-legged sideways to up pullback. So far, the market has traded slightly higher in the night market. Traders want to see if the bulls can create sustained follow-through buying tomorrow. If they can do that, the odds of a 2-legged sideways to up pullback will increase. For tomorrow (Friday, 9/5/25), traders will see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar. Or will the market trade higher, but the candlestick closes with a long tail above or a bear body instead? If this is the case, it would mean strong bears and weak bulls. Breakouts from trading ranges can fail, and odds slightly favor the trading range to continue until there is a strong breakout with sustained follow-through selling/buying. Andrew

3/6/25 Surprise Gap Up, Bulls Need Follow-through Buying Tuesday’s candlestick (Jun 3) was a bear bar doji closing in its lower half with a long tail above. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bears could create a follow-through bear bar, or if the market would trade slightly lower, but close with a long tail below or with a bull body instead. The market gapped up at the open and traded significantly higher but reversed to close in its lower half by the end of the day. The bulls want a reversal from a wedge bull flag (May 16, May 26, and May 30). They want the 20-day EMA to act as support, forming a higher low and a wedge bull flag (with the first two legs being the May 16 and May 26 lows). So far, this is the case. They want a breakout above the 4000 high followed by a measured move based on the height of the recent small trading range which will take the market to around the 4150 area. They must create follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA and breaking above the May 14 high to increase the odds of a reversal. The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and Jun 3) and a double top bear flag (May 14 and Jun 3). They hope the May 14 high area (around 4000) will act as resistance. They must create bear bars trading below the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of another strong leg down. Production for June should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems ok. Export: Remain to be seen. For tomorrow (Wednesday, June 4), traders will see if the bulls can continue to follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA. If they can create a strong breakout above the 4000 area, the odds of a measured move up to around 4150 will increase. Or will the bears be able to create bear bars trading back below the 20-day EMA in the next few days instead? Andrew

3/6/25 - Can Bears Create a Strong FT Bear Bar or Not? Friday’s candlestick (May 30) was a bear bar closing in its lower half with a prominent tail below. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could create a retest of the May 29 high, even if it only forms a lower high, or if the market would reverse below the 20-day EMA again, like the previous two times (May 15 and May 21). If so, especially if it is strong, we may get a retest of the May 26 low in the coming days. The market formed a bear bar trading below the 20-day EMA but the prominent tail below indicates some hesitation from the bears. The bulls want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 26) and a wedge bear flag (May 16, May 26, and May 30). They want the 20-day EMA or the May 26 low to act as support, forming a higher low and a wedge bull flag (with the first two legs being the May 16 and May 26 lows). They must create strong bull bars trading above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and May 29). They must create follow-through selling trading below the May 26 low to increase the odds of another strong leg down. Production for June should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems ok. For tomorrow (Tuesday, June 3), traders will see if the bears can create a follow-through bear bar. Or will the market trade slightly lower, but close with a long tail below or with a bull body instead? Andrew

30/5/25 Can Bulls Form a Retest of May 29 High? Or Down? Thursday’s candlestick (29 May) was a bull bar closing above the middle of its range with a prominent tail above. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could create a follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA, or if the market would reverse below the 20-day EMA again, like the previous two times (May 15 and May 21). The bulls created a follow-through bull bar above the 20-day EMA, something they could not do in the last 2 times (May 15 and May 21). The candlestick has a long tail above which indicates the bulls are not yet as strong as they hope for. They want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 26). They see the current move as a pullback and want a retest of the May 29 high tomorrow, even if it forms a lower high. They need to create a breakout above 4000 with follow-through buying to increase the odds of a reversal. If the market trades lower, they want the 20-day EMA or the May 26 low to act as support, forming a higher low and a wedge bull flag (with the first two legs being the May 16 and May 26 lows). The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and May 29). They want the move to lack follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA like the last 2 times (May 15 and May 21). They want the market to reverse below the 20-day EMA tomorrow. If the market trades higher, they want the 3950 - 4000 levels as the resistance area. So far, this is the case. Exports for the first 25 days seem good, +7% Production is up marginally so far. June's production should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems ok. For tomorrow (Friday, May 30), traders will see if the bulls can create a retest of the May 29 high, even if it only forms a lower high. Or will the market reverse below the 20-day EMA again, like the previous two times (May 15 and May 21)? If so, especially if it is strong, we may get a retest of the May 26 low in the coming days.

29/5/25 - Poor FT & Reverse Below 20-day EMA again? Wednesday’s candlestick (28 May) was a bull bar closing near its high. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could create a follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA, or if the market would stall at the 20-day EMA again. The bulls created a follow-through bull bar closing slightly above the 20-day EMA. They want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 26). Since today closed above the 20-day EMA, the bulls need to create a follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA, something they could not do in the last 2 times (May 15 and May 21). If the market trades lower, they want the May 26 low to act as support, forming a wedge bull flag (with the first two legs being the May 16 and May 26 lows). The bears want a reversal from a wedge bear flag (April 25, May 14, and May 28). They want the market to lack follow-through buying above the 20-day EMA like the last 2 times (May 15 and May 21). If the market trades higher, they want the 20-day EMA or the 3950 - 4000 as the resistance area. Exports for the first 25 days seem good, +7% Production is up marginally so far. June's production should be more or less around May's level. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems ok.

28/5/25 Bulls Need FT Bull Bar Closing Abov 20-day EMA Tuesday’s candlestick (27 May) was a bull bar closing near its high. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could create a follow-through bull bar closing near its high. If so, the odds of a retest of the 20-day EMA or the 3950 area will increase. Or if the bears would still be able to create more follow-through selling. The bulls managed to create a strong bull entry bar. They want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 22). They hope to get at least a retest of the 20-day EMA (around 3880). The market tested near today (high 3873). Next, they need to create a follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. The bears want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14) and another smaller double top bear flag (May 14 and May 20). The problem with the bear's case was that the follow-through selling was limited (May 26). If the market trades higher, they want the 20-day EMA or the 3950 - 4000 as the resistance area. They want a reversal from a wedge pattern (with the first two legs being May 14 and May 20). Exports for the first 25 days seem good, +7% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems ok. For tomorrow (Wednesday, 28 May), traders will see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA.

27/5/25 - FT Bull Bar or More FT Selling? Monday’s candlestick (26 May) was a bear doji closing near its high with a long tail below. In our last report, we said the market could still trade at least a little lower. Traders would see if the bears could create a follow-through bear bar closing near its low, or if they would fail to do so, and the candlestick would close with a long tail below or with a bull body instead. The market traded below the May 16 low, but the follow-through selling was limited and the market reversed to near its high. The bears want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14) and another smaller double top bear flag (May 14 and May 20). They want another strong leg down to retest the May 8 low. They must continue creating follow-through selling to increase the odds of lower prices. The bulls want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 22). They need to create a follow-through bull bar tomorrow to increase the odds of a reversal. They hope to get at least a retest of the 20-day EMA (around 3880). Exports for the first 25 days seem good, +7% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems ok. For tomorrow (Tuesday, 27 May), traders will see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar closing near its high. If so, the odds of a retest of the 20-day EMA or the 3950 area will increase. Or will the bears be able to create more follow-through selling still? The consecutive doji in the last two trading days indicate an area of temporary balance. Andrew

26/5/25 Bears Need Strong Follow-through Selling Friday’s candlestick (23 May) was an inside bear doji. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bears could create a follow-through bear bar closing near its low. If so, the weekly candlestick will close near its low, increasing the odds that the market will trade at least slightly lower next week. The bears got some follow-through selling albeit not a strong one. Considering Soybean Oil was trading higher for the day, the bulls were not able to create a bull bar which indicates the bulls are not yet strong. The bears see the recent move as a retest of the May 14 high and want it to form a lower high. This was the case. They want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14) and another smaller double top bear flag (May 14 and May 20). They see Friday simply as a pullback and want follow-through selling next week. They want another strong leg down to retest the May 8 low. The bulls want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 22). They want another big leg up, testing the 4000 area. They must create strong bull bars trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. So far, they have not yet been able to do so. Exports for the first 20 days seem ok, +5% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems good—slightly slower last week. The market could still trade at least a little lower next week. For tomorrow (Monday, 26 May), traders will see if the bears can create a follow-through bear bar closing near its low. That would increase the odds of testing near the May 8 low. Or will the bears fail to create a follow-through bear bar, and the candlestick close with a long tail below or with a bull body instead?

23/5/25 Bears Got Strong Entry Bar, Need FT Selling Tomorrow Thursday’s candlestick (22 May) was a big bear bar closing near its low. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bears could create a strong bear entry bar closing near its low, or if the market would continue to trade sideways around the 20-day EMA area instead. The bears got a big bear entry bar testing near the May 16 low area. They see the recent move as a retest of the May 14 high and want it to form a lower high. This was the case. They want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14) and another smaller double top bear flag (May 14 and May 20). They want another strong leg down to retest the May 8 low. Since they got a strong bear entry bar today, they need to create a follow-through bear bar, breaking below the May 16 low, increasing the odds of a retest of the May 8 low. The bulls want a reversal from a double bottom bull flag (May 16 and May 22). They want another big leg up, testing the 4000 area. They must create strong bull bars trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. Exports for the first 20 days seem ok, +5% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems good. Slightly slower this week. For tomorrow (Friday, 23 May), traders will see if the bears can create a follow-through bear bar closing near its low. If so, the weekly candlestick will close near its low, increasing the odds that the market will trade at least slightly lower next week. Or will the bears fail to create a follow-through bear bar, and the bulls get a retest near the 20-day EMA instead? If this is true, it indicates that the bear's case is weak. Andrew

22/5/25 Stall at 20-day EMA, Can Bears Get Bear Entry Bar? Wednesday’s candlestick (21 May) was an inside bear bar closing in its lower half and closing below the 20-day EMA. In our last report, we said traders would see if the bulls could create another follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA, or if the market would continue to stall around the 20-day EMA area. If this is the case, the odds of a retest of the May 16 low will increase. The market opened higher in the morning but traded sideways to down for most of the day in a tight range. The bulls could not create another follow-through bull bar, and the market is currently stalling at the 20-day EMA. The bears see the recent move as a retest of the May 14 high and want it to form a lower high. So far, the pullback is a lower high. They want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14) and another smaller double top bear flag (May 14 and May 20).

They need to create a strong bear entry bar tomorrow to increase the odds of a retest of the May 16 low. The bulls want a reversal from a higher low major trend reversal (May 16). They want a large second leg sideways to up. So far, the second leg up is forming a lower high and stalling around the 20-day EMA. They must create strong bull bars trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. Exports for the first 20 days seem ok, +5% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems good. Slightly slow yesterday. For tomorrow (Thursday, 22 May), traders will see if the bears can create a strong bear entry bar closing near its low. Or will the market continue to trade sideways around the 20-day EMA area? Andrew

They must create a strong retest of the May 14 high and a strong breakout with sustained follow-through buying. The bulls must create strong bull bars trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. Exports for the first 15 days seem decent, +10 to 15% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems good. For tomorrow (Tuesday, 20 May), traders will see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar closing above the 20-day EMA. So far in the night market, the candlestick is a follow-through bull bar trading above the 20-day EMA. Or will the market trade slightly higher, but stall below the May 14 high and close below the 20-day EMA again? The weekly candlestick closing near its low slightly favours the market to trade at least a little lower sometime this week. Andrew

19/5/25 Bears Need More FT Selling, Bulls Want May 14 High Friday's candlestick (May 16) was a follow-through bear bar with tails. In our previous report, we said traders would see if the bears could get a strong follow-through bear bar. If they do, the odds of retesting the May 8 low increase. Or if the market would trade slightly lower, but close with a long tail below or a bull body, forming a higher low instead. The bears got a follow-through bear bar, albeit not a big one. They see the recent rally as a pullback and hope that the move has alleviated the oversold conditions and want a resumption of the trend. They want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14). They need to create more follow-through selling to increase the odds of a retest and breakout below the May 8 low. If the market trades higher, they want it to form a lower high. They want it to stall below the 20-day EMA (around 3900). They want any pullback higher to lack follow-through buying. The bulls see the current move as a retest of the prior trend's extreme low (May 8). They want the market to form a higher low followed by at least a small second leg sideways to up to retest the recent leg high (May 14 high), even if it only forms a lower high. The bulls must create strong bull bars trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. Exports for the first 15 days seem decent, +10 to 15% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in recent days seems good. For tomorrow (Monday, 19/5/25), traders want to see if the bears can get another follow-through bear bar. If they do, the odds of retesting the May 8 low increase. Or will the market form a retest of the May 14 high, even if it only forms a lower high? The weekly candlestick closing near its low slightly favor the market to trade at least a little lower sometime this week. Andrew

16/5/25 Bears Need Strong FT to Resume Trend FCPO Thursday's candlestick (May 15) was a big bear bar closing in its lower half with prominent tails. In our previous report, we said traders would see if there would be a retest of the 4000 high area, and if the retest of the 4000 level is weak, sellers may return. Or would the bears be able to create a strong bear entry bar, which can lead to a retest of the May 8 low, even if it only forms a higher low. The market traded formed a weak retest of the prior high in the night session, reaching the 3960 area, but sold off during the day. The bears got a strong bear entry bar. They see the recent rally as a pullback and hope that the move has alleviated the oversold conditions and want a resumption of the trend. They want a reversal from a double top bear flag (April 25 and May 14). They need to create a follow-through bear bar following Thursday's bear entry bar to increase the odds of a retest and breakout below the May 8 low. The bulls want a failed breakout below the January low. They want a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) pullback, lasting about 2 weeks. They want the market to form a higher low followed by at least a small second leg sideways to up to retest the recent leg high (May 14 high). The bulls must create strong bull bars trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. Soybean Oil is trading at the limit down today. Will we see a situation where there are consecutive days of limit down? If yes, this can't be good for palm oil. Exports for the first 15 days seem decent +10 to 15% Production is up marginally so far. Refineries' appetite to buy in the last 2 days seems good. For tomorrow (Friday, 16/5/25), traders want to see if the bears can get a strong follow-through bear bar. If they do, the odds of retesting the May 8 low increase. Or will the market trade slightly lower, but close with a long tail below or a bull body, forming a higher low? If this is the case, that could indicate a lack of strength in the selling pressure. Breakouts from trading ranges can fail, and odds slightly favor the trading range to continue until there is a strong breakout with sustained follow-through selling/buying. Andrew

15/5/25 Retest 4000 high or Can Bears Get a FT Bear Bar? Wednesday's candlestick (May 14) was a bull doji closing in its lower half with a long tail above. In our previous report, we said the traders want to see if the bulls can create sustained follow-through buying, closing above the 20-day EMA or if the market would trade higher, but stalls around the 20-day EMA area (around 3950) and close with a long tail or a bear body instead (if this is the case, that would indicate the bulls are not as strong as they hope to be). The market traded higher above the 20-day EMA, but reversed off the day's high to close below it (the 20-day EMA). The long tail above and the candlestick closing in its lower half indicate the bulls are not yet strong. The bears see the current move as a pullback. They hope that the pullback in the last 5 days has alleviated the oversold conditions and want a resumption of the trend. They want it to stall around the 20-day EMA (around 3950), or around the 3970-4000 area, forming a double top bear flag with the April 25 high. Today (Wed, May 14), the market tested near the 4000 level and reversed off it, closing below 3950. If the market trades higher, they want it to form a double top with the May 14 high (around the 4000 area) They see today's candlestick (Wed, May 14) as a reversal bar and want a reversal from a double top bear flag with the April 25 high. They need to create a strong follow-through bear bar tomorrow to increase the odds of a reversal down. The bulls got a reversal from a lower low major trend reversal and a wedge pattern (Apr 9, Apr 22, and May 8). They want a failed breakout below the January low. They want a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) pullback, lasting about 2 weeks. If there is a pullback lower, they want the market to form a higher low followed by at least a small second leg sideways to up to retest the current leg high (now May 14 high). So far, the market traded above the 20-day EMA today (Wed, May 14) but could not close above it. The bulls must create follow-through buying and trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. The wedge pattern increases the odds of a small 2-legged sideways to up pullback. So far, the minimum requirement has been fulfilled. For tomorrow (Thursday, 15/5/25), traders want to see if there will be a retest of the 4000 high area. If there is, will it break above it or form a lower high? If the retest of the 4000 level is weak, sellers may return. Or will the bears be able to create a strong bear entry bar? If yes, we may get a retest of the May 8 low, even if it only forms a higher low. Breakouts from trading ranges can fail, and odds slightly favor the trading range to continue until there is a strong breakout with sustained follow-through selling/buying. Andrew

14/5/25 Bulls Need More Follow-through Buying FCPO Tuesday's candlestick (May 13) was a bull doji closing slightly below the middle of its range with prominent tails above and below. In our previous report, we said the market may gap up early. Traders would see if the bulls could create a follow-through bull bar closing near its high, or if the market would trade higher, but the candlestick closes with a long tail above or a bear body instead. The market gapped higher, followed by an intraday pullback, then traded off the day's low to close with a small bull body. The bulls got some follow-through buying, although not as strong as they hoped, yet. The bears see the current move as a pullback. They want it to stall around the 20-day EMA (around 3950), or around the 3970-4000 area, forming a double top bear flag with the April 25 high. If the market trades higher, they want the 4050 or the April 25 high to act as resistance. They want the pullback to be weak, sideways, and lacking in strong follow-through buying (overlapping candlesticks, bear bars, doji(s), and prominent tails above candlesticks). The bulls want a reversal from a lower low major trend reversal and a wedge pattern (Apr 9, Apr 22, and May 8). They want a failed breakout below the January low. They hope to get at least a small two-legged sideways to up pullback lasting a few days. The pullback phase has begun. If there is a pullback, they want at least a small second leg sideways to up to retest the current leg high (now May 13 high). They want a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) Pullback, lasting about 2 weeks. They must create follow-through buying, trading far above the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a reversal. While the selloff since the April 2 high to May 8 low was strong, the move has lasted a long time and is slightly climactic. The wedge pattern increases the odds of a small 2-legged sideways to up pullback. The move is likely underway. So far in the night market, the candlestick is an inside bull bar. For tomorrow (Wednesday, 14/5/25), traders want to see if the bulls can create sustained follow-through buying, closing above the 20-day EMA. If they can do that, the odds of a 2-legged sideways to up pullback will increase. Or will the market trade higher, but the market stalls around the 20-day EMA area (around 3950) and close with a long tail or a bear body instead? If this is the case, that would indicate the bulls are not as strong as they hope to be. Breakouts from trading ranges can fail, and odds slightly favor the trading range to continue until there is a strong breakout with sustained follow-through selling/buying. Andrew

13/5/25 Bulls Need Strong Follow-through Buying FCPO Friday's candlestick (May 9) was a bull doji closing above the middle of its range. In our previous report, we said traders would see if the bulls could create sustained follow-through buying. If they can do that, the odds of a 2-legged sideways to up pullback will increase. Or if the market would trade higher, but the candlestick closes with a long tail above it or with a bear body instead. If this is the case, it would mean strong bears and weak bulls. The market traded higher, followed by an intraday retest of the May 8 low, forming a higher low. Palm oil then traded off the day's low to close with a small bull body in its upper half. The bulls got some follow-through buying, although not as strong as they hoped, yet. The bears want a strong breakout below the January low, followed by a measured move based on the height of the 5-month trading range, which would take the market to the 3200 area. If the market trades higher, the bears want it to stall around the 20-day EMA (around 3950), forming a double top bear flag with the April 25 high. They want the pullback to be weak, sideways, and lacking in strong follow-through buying (overlapping candlesticks, bear bars, doji(s), and prominent tails above candlesticks). The bulls want a reversal from a lower low major trend reversal and a wedge pattern (Apr 9, Apr 22, and May 8). They want a failed breakout below the January low. They hope to get at least a small two-legged sideways to up pullback lasting a few days. The pullback phase may have begun. They must continue creating follow-through buying to increase the odds of testing near the 20-day EMA. They want a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) Pullback, lasting about 2 weeks. The pullback phase may be underway. While the selloff since the April 2 high to May 8 low was strong, the move has lasted a long time and is slightly climactic. The wedge pattern increases the odds of a small 2-legged sideways to up pullback. The move could be underway. Traders want to see if the bulls can create sustained follow-through buying tomorrow. If they can do that, the odds of a 2-legged sideways to up pullback will increase. For tomorrow (Tuesday, 13/5/25), the market may gap up early. Traders will see if the bulls can create a follow-through bull bar closing near its high. Or will the market trade higher, but the candlestick closes with a long tail above or a bear body instead (after gapping up)? If so, the bulls are not yet strong and lack strong follow-through buying. Breakouts from trading ranges can fail, and odds slightly favor the trading range to continue until there is a strong breakout with sustained follow-through selling/buying. Andrew

FCPO WEEK 21 2025: Towards 4000?There are 2 scenarios for this week: Scenario #1 - if price to close and stay above 3857 then there is possibility that it will continue going higher towards 4000 area. However this might be a limited move higher because the overall trend is still bearish. I think that the price will likely retest the 3700 and consolidate for a bit before going bullish. Scenario #2 - if price to close and stay below 3745 then it should open a move lower towards 3638 area. It would be the lowest price since Aug 2024. This might be the lowest low that we need for price to establish a bullish trend. If Scenario #1 happens then it will be interesting to analyse the price action to determine the momentum and see whether price already establish a sign that it is ready to go even higher. Happy trading!
