Cotton Breaks Bearish TrendCotton has been in a nice uptrend since the lows back in June, and although we have seen some chop recently, we are still trading in this wedge with defined support and resistance. Looking more at the technical side, Cotton broke out of a bearish trend on September 28th, and is looking strong as we are entering Q4. Old Resistance, new support: Looking at this chart, there was strong overhead resistance from the January high, and when the market started trying to take out that level, we saw sellers’ step in and bring the market back down. The market broke back out above this level on September 25th, and now this level will act as support that bulls will want to defend to keep process moving higher. This also lines up nicely with the strong trendline support, and a break below this level could send us back to neutral territory. Overhead Resistance: As this market is trending higher, there is still prices that need to be achieved to make the next leg higher. There is strong overhead technical resistance going back to the May ’22 highs, and this level has been tested and sold into three times. If the support pocket can hold, the re-test of this resistance point will be critical in judging the prices moving forward. Another rejection here could spark additional selling which could break the trend to the downside.

CT (Cotton) - 9 months SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE══════════════════════════════ Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot trading opportunities based solely on the development of CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS 🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝 ══════════════════════════════ Hello Traders ✌ After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that: - it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment; - since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant; - the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts; For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart. Thank you all for your support 🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER "A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed. Before that moment it is just a bunch of colorful candlesticks on a chart of your watchlist" ═════════════════════════════ ⚠ DISCLAIMER ⚠ The content is The Art Of Charting's personal opinion and it is posted purely for educational purpose and therefore it must not be taken as a direct or indirect investing recommendations or advices.

cotton about to go Higher in coming weekscotton is on the brink of a significant price increase, poised to break out of its current consolidation phase. The trading contract for July 2023 is currently being traded at a higher rate than the nearby contracts, indicating a premium price in itself. Notably, commercials are accumulating net long positions in the COT (Commitment of Traders) data, reflecting the most bullish sentiment seen since 2020. These compelling factors, combined with robust fundamental data, lead me to anticipate a notable upward movement in the price of cotton within the next few days or weeks. However, it is important to acknowledge that predicting market movements carries inherent risks, as market conditions can swiftly change, and multiple factors can influence commodity prices

Cotton coats for the winterHello friends. The price of cotton has been shaved in half by 2 key factors: 1) Largest cotton consumer China closing down with the zero-covid policy 2) Expectations that a recession will reduce cotton demand Looking at the current price, we think that it's very cheap and that a substantial move to the upside is on the cards. One thing I don't think the market is pricing in is the potential for China to reopen sooner than markets are anticipating. Obviously, this shutdown in China cannot be permanent and will end eventually. It's more a matter of when. And when it does, cotton should print a candle of +10% or even more in a single day. The other thing that is being ignored by cotton speculators is the potential for producers to cycle through crops. Cotton producers do not have to exclusively be cotton producers -- in particular, they can and will replace their cotton crops with corn crops. This is because corn has only fallen a mere 17% while cotton is down 52%. If farming corn is more profitable, all rational cotton farmers who are able to make the switch will. When they do this, the supply of fresh cotton being created will be reduced. Another factor impacting cotton is that it might not even be profitable to produce at this price -- the breakeven value is something like 70 cents on average based on what I'm seeing, but many producers are already drowning underwater. If it costs you $0.80 to make cotton, and cotton is trading at $0.75, you would save $0.05 by simply buying cotton rather than producing it -- so you will be forced to either pivot to the production of corn/other crops or to close down your farm for good. The lower the price goes, the more producers go underwater and are forced out of the business. Only the most efficient cotton producers who have the best land and technology will be able to keep going at these prices. I also think that climate change will be a much longer-term driver of cotton prices in the coming years. A material example of this occurring is that cotton production in Brazil declined by 30 percent due to drought and heatwave. This lower yield and lower production puts a chokehold on supply and will only get worse as extreme weather and heat become increasingly more common and increasingly destructive to crops. To be clear, we do think demand will decline somewhat due to a recession. People are going to be wasting less money on pointless consumption like clothes they don't need and will throw away, and will be more conscious of how they spend money. But the demand will still be there. The cotton must flow.
