Cocoa futures flipped to a bullish trend on October 17 at 3669. Only a close below 4170 will return the market to a neutral trend. The market has been relentless to the bears; it would be wise to wait for a clear signal or weigh in proper risk management if you are counter-trend trading in this market.

Trend Reversal Point = 185.16

With the “Golden Cross” upon us, Coffee futures flipped to a Bullish Trend on October 19. Only a close below 185.16 returns the market to a Neutral trend. Traders can see the breakout of the daily pennant formation for confirmation that this bull market remains healthy. Yesterday’s breakout to 200.00 was met aggressively by hedgers and short sellers.

Bear trade trigger = 26.04

Sugar futures slipped back into a bearish trend on November 30 at 26.04 on record Brazilian production. Only a close above 25.09 will shift traders back to a neutral trend. We will have to wait for stochastic to rise from oversold territory for confirmation that a bottom is in place. Watch 22.00 as a close-in pivot point.
