CPO is now testing the downtrend line resistance at RM3050-3070. If CPO can break above the downtrend line, the next upleg may begin.

It looks like CPO could be following the trend of crude oil. See the daily chart for WTIC below.

However, it must be noted that the broader commodity index, Reuters/Jefferies CRB index has yet to break above its downtrend line.

An upside breakout for CPO would be bullish for the plantation stocks.
