Trade ideas
The fluffy white won't be falling anytime soon...hint bullish ;)Hey guys, I'll get stright to the point! Cotton looks really bullish to me :D The better part of this year we have seen some bullishrallies, but nothing that has really taken us out of the 77-83 range. While other commodities have shown strenght or declined Cotton has done...not much. When I see that I start to think we are getting ready for a bigger move! Right now I'm watching for a big move through the first obejective at 87. That would give us a breakout above the yearly high and when that happens I think we could see  90, 94 in the cards for a solid bullish year. While that might be a some time off, we can still watch to see how strong the current bullish trend is. And think about getting positioned if the move does come ;)
Right now I dont have a trade, but my wheels might start turning if we return below 84, even briefly ;) What's your opinion? Wre you as bullish as I am? And if you're not, thats cool, just share your ideas and let's learn together!
Peace, love, and sweet bamboo,

Cotton setting up?Whats up tradingview commnity? Last time we talked about cotton I mentioned that I would be looking for a buy if we got below 84. And well we did...was kinda scary wasn't it? Shot down there like it was gonna reverse or something (still could ;) But like I mentioned in the previous post on cotton, in an environment where it  should  be going lower, its holding onto its rage. So I'm positioning for a long higher. While its still to early to see if it will be a big sustained break out, I do think we will pop up into 87 from where we are now. If we keep going, awesome hold it and ride it while its hot! if not, it's still a nice little trade. So once again, the 84 figure is where I'm looking for an reaction. Lets see how it goes!
What's your opinion? Are you as bullish also? And if you're not, that's cool, just share your ideas and let's learn together!

Cotton find long term resistance out of wedge reversalCotton has been fairly range bound after its fall from grace in 2011.
If the wedge continues through the long term downward resistance, I see difficulties breaking above 0.9445 with the possibility to short into 0.5707
Watch levels around 0.8601 to confirm downward movement.
Cotton Still in Consolidation Mode 87 big levelWe are not very excited about Cotton so far .
Unless it manages to break the 87 level , we still think it will be in a consolidation mode till mid/late January of 2019.
The cycles are positively configured , and there is a positive momentum with higher highs and lows but nothing to write home about.
We will be watching this market closely for any breaks of the 87 level even though on near term is shows its hitting some resistance and it may correct the next few weeks 
before starting a new rally phase.
Global stock forecast cut bullish for cotton pricesUS Department of Agriculture revised its world cotton opening stocks downwards by 900,000 bales for April, according to the WASDE report. At the same time the USDA downgraded its forecast for world ending stocks for 2017-18 by 600,000 bales. Lower world inventories are bullish for cotton prices.
On the daily timeframe the Cotton: D1 has been retracing following the decline after hitting four-year high in the beginning of March.
The Donchian channel indicates no trend yet: it is flat.
The MACD indicator is above the signal line and the gap is widening, this is a bullish signal.
 
We expect the bullish momentum will continue after the price closes above the upper bound of the Donchian channel at 0.8393. A price point above that level can be used as an entry point for a pending order to buy. The stop loss can be placed below the fractal low at 0.7852 After placing the pending order the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal low. Thus, we are changing the profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level (0.7852) without reaching the order (0.8393), we recommend cancelling the order: the market sustains internal changes which were not taken into account.
