In mid-August, I expected the correction in CPO prices to be relatively mild, probably well supported at RM2300-2350 levels (go
here). I was proven wrong when CPO prices hit the RM2100 level on Monday. Nevertheless, the Slow Stochastics indicator is flashing a bullish divergence, just like in early July. Back then, we saw the bullish divergence and then a bullish MACD hook-up. Thereafter, CPO prices enjoyed a decent rally from RM2000 to RM2500. So, look out for some recovery in CPO prices & a bullish MACD hook-up over the next few days.

Note: As at 3.00pm, CPO October futures are trading at RM2200 (up RM51).

Dear Mr. Alex,
Is the CPO price reversal short term in nature or will this trend continue perhaps towards the year end ?
Thanks for the reply on Jeffery Saut comments.
Best Regards

Hi JR,
If the reversal come, we can expect an uptrend lasting 1 month to take place. If it can surpass the medium-term downtrend line resistance at RM2500-2550 level, the rally would have more room to go. It may even test its May high of RM2800.
