CPO has tested the accelerated downtrend line (R1-R1) at RM3350 yesterday. An upside breakout above R1-R1 would precede the test of the 2 months old downtrend line (RR) at RM3500. A break above RM3500 could sign the recovery in CPO prices. The indicators have slowly turned upwards.

Plantation index chart is more positive than the CPO chart. It has broken above its accelerated downtrend line (R1-R1) at 7700 on March 18. Today, Plantation index broke above its 2 months old downtrend line (RR) at 7750. It also broke above the horizontal line 7780. With these double breakout, I believe plantation stocks are poised to a strong recovery in the days ahead.

Based on the bullish breakout if the Plantation index, I believe plantation stocks are good for medium-term trades. This is especailly so if the CPO index can also break above its downtrend line at RM3500.
