CPO JAN Futures Double top PatternCPO Jan futures forming double top chart pattern. Prices are trading well below the rising trend line at 4350.

Declining Palm Oil Prices : CSE - WATA/AGAL/NAMU/etcFundamentals
Malaysian palm oil futures have entered a corrective phase, plunging to a four-week low with an 8% decline over the period. This price softening is primarily attributed to:
• Demand contraction in key export markets
• Appreciation of the Malaysian ringgit, reducing competitiveness
CSE Companies with exposure to palm oil benefited from favorable pricing over the previous three months, with notable rallies.
Strategy
The recent price correction is unlikely to impact current quarter earnings.
However, next quarter margins may compress if the downtrend persists
Given the current trajectory of international prices, think a prudent profit-booking approach is more appropriate.
Re-entry opportunities may arise post-stabilization, levels to watch are marked in the chart.
30/10/25 First Pullback Would Likely Only Be Minor
Yesterday's candlestick (Wednesday, October 29) was another bear bar closing near its low with a small tail below.
In our last report, we said traders would observe whether the bears could create more follow-through selling, or if the bulls could create a pullback instead.
The bears continue to create follow-through selling, closing below the September 23 low.
The bulls see the current move as a deep pullback.
They want the September 23 low areas to act as support, forming a large double bottom bull flag (September 23 and October 29 lows).
They want a failed breakout below the September 23 low.
They must create strong consecutive bull bars to show they are back in control.
The bears want strong follow-through selling below the 20-day EMA, with a break below the September low sometime this week. So far, this is the case.
The current move is in the form of a 7-bar bear microchannel, indicating strong bears and persistent selling.
The first pullback would likely be minor, followed by at least a small sideways to down leg to retest the current low extreme (currently the Oct 29 low).
The bears must create sustained follow-through selling trading below the September 23 low to increase the odds of a reversal.
Production: SPPOMA's first 25 days increased by +2.78%.
Refineries' appetite to buy is there, slightly less enthusiastic.
Export: Oct down 0.36% for the first 25 days as per ITS.
For today (Thursday, Oct 29), traders will see if the bulls can create a decent minor pullback attempt.
Or will any pullback be weak (long tails below candlestick, closing below its lower half, lacking in follow-through buying), and the bears continue to get follow-through selling?
For now, odds slightly favor sellers above the first minor pullback.

If the market trades higher, they want the 20-day EMA or the October 17 high to act as resistance, followed by a 3rd leg sideways to down.
The bears must create sustained follow-through selling trading far below the 20-day EMA and the September 23 low to increase the odds of a deeper pullback.
Production: SPPOMA's first 20 days increased up 2.7%.

FCPO Week 43 2025: Consolidation or bearish to 4300?Happy Deepavali!
Price has shifted from bullish to a potential bearish. Momentum to go higher has been greatly reduced. A key reversal created on Friday could be the Lower High for a bearish move.
There is a potential of double top. Still early since it is yet to confirm. If price can break and close below 4490 then bearish could go and test 4300. Price will confirm double top once if break below 4270 area.
If there is no momentum this week then another consolidation is expected with a view for a break to a lower price.
Happy trading.
Strong downtrend, price has broken below several support levels.The price is well below the Kumo (cloud), which is a strong bearish signal.

Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is trading outside or near the lower band, indicating high volatility and potential oversold conditions, although in a strong trend, this can persist.

3/11/25 - Nov Likely to Trade at Least a Little Lower
Friday’s candlestick (Oct 31) was a bear bar closing near its low.
In our previous report, we noted that the bulls wanted a strong bull bar to form a weekly candlestick with a long tail below, reducing the week’s bearishness. Conversely, the bears wanted a strong bear bar to confirm control and close the week strongly bearish.
The market traded lower, and the weekly candlestick indeed closed as a strong bear bar near its low.
The bulls hope the current move is simply a deep pullback.
They want to see a failed breakout below the September 23 low.
To show they’re regaining control, the bulls must now produce strong consecutive bull bars breaking clearly above the bear microchannel.
The bears, on the other hand, wanted follow-through selling below the September low — and they got it.
The current move has formed a 9-bar bear microchannel, signaling strong bears and persistent selling pressure.
The first pullback will likely be minor, followed by at least a small sideways-to-down leg retesting the current low (Oct 31 low).
The bears’ measured-move target, based on the height of the prior trading range, projects toward the 4000–3950 area.
Production: October output likely increased; November figures are yet to be announced.
Refineries: Buying interest remains, though slightly less enthusiastic.
Exports: October exports rose 5.19%, according to ITS.
Overall, the market is breaking out from an 11-week trading range in a persistent 9-bar bear microchannel — evidence of strong selling momentum.
The market remains Always-In-Short.
For Monday (Nov 3), traders will watch whether the bulls can produce a minor pullback and a few decent bull bars in the days ahead, or if the bears will extend their follow-through selling.
For now, odds still slightly favor the first pullback being minor, with sellers likely waiting above the bear microchannel.

FCPO Week 45 2025: Retrace or consolidation to continue bearish.Bearish overall. However there is a sign of bearish exhaustion.Price making swing lows but the momentum has declined thus signalling that price might retrace before resuming lower. However looking at 15m chart this retracement is not started yet. Still no higher low or higher high yet. Monday session might give a bit more idea. Retracing towards 4300 is possible but next week would probably where price going into consolidation then retracement before continuing lower.
Happy hunting!
