Cocoa price prediction: $3,074 breakout or RSI overbought trap?

The Cocoa market shows a big change in how people are feeling about the market, as the price is suddenly going up very fast. This means the price is breaking out of a low area it has been stuck in for several months. Two main things are causing this sudden jump: problems with shipping and delivery in the Middle East, and worries about the quality of the second harvest in West Africa because of unexpected weather.

Cocoa has moved from the stage of accumulation to one of strong momentum. The break out of both the 20-day and 50-day EMAs was very conclusive as it happened on extremely high volume. Nonetheless, it should be noted that a caution flag has been raised by the RSI, currently trading at 74.40, indicating that the market is severely overbought, which might prompt a mean-reversion correction in the short run. Even though there is some technical over-extension, it should be highlighted that the rally is highly supported by fundamentals, especially the Hormuz Chokepoint geopolitical factor that is driving up global shipping rates.
