Cocoa
Cocoa - SHORT; SELL it here!This is very much in the same boat as Coffee - out of season, increasingly negative fundamentals, etc.. (Now, even cocoa brokers are entertaining each other tall tales, trying to pass the time and in an attempt to reinvigorate the business. Yeah, how could that not work?! ... ;-)
A resumption of a U NYSE:D rally, at any point, will put a further lid on this one - much like on coffee.
Looking down from here, there is a looong way to go, enough to catch vertigo. This has also been wicking here, something fierce, for some days now!
CC Cacao: Trade Commodity THIS EasterHi Traders, Investors and Speculators of the Charts 📈📉
Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year.
Are you looking to make a trade out of Easter weekend? Look no further than Cocoa futures, or chocolate.
Cocoa is a soft commodity that is used to produce chocolate, and it is traded on several global commodity exchanges. One of the most significant exchanges for trading cocoa futures is the ICE Futures US (Intercontinental Exchange Futures U.S.). The exchange offers futures contracts for cocoa, which allows investors to speculate on the future price of cocoa beans. The cocoa futures contract on the ICE Futures US is traded under the symbol CC. Each CC contract represents 10 metric tons of cocoa beans, and the contract price is quoted in U.S. dollars per metric ton. The contract months for trading cocoa futures are March, May, July, September, and December.
The price of cocoa can be influenced by several factors, including supply and demand, weather conditions, and political instability in cocoa-producing regions. For example, adverse weather conditions, such as drought or flooding, can reduce cocoa yields and increase prices. Similarly, political unrest or conflicts in cocoa-producing countries can disrupt supply chains and lead to higher prices. Easter Weekend is a time known well for Easter bunny egg hunts and other chocolate delights, meaning that demand increases for cocoa in the months leading up to Easter. Considering that from a chart analysis the price of Cocoa has already increased over the past few months, it is the ideal time to consider a short right after Easter.
Easter has become a global celebration, and many cultures around the world have their unique ways of celebrating the holiday. For example, in Greece, the week leading up to Easter is called "Holy Week," and it is a time of fasting and religious observances. On Easter Sunday, families gather to celebrate with a feast of lamb and other traditional foods.
In the United States, Easter is celebrated with the Easter Bunny, who brings baskets of candy and treats to children. The Easter Bunny has its origins in German folklore, where it was a symbol of fertility and new beginnings. The tradition was brought to America by German immigrants in the 1700s.
In many Latin American countries, Easter is celebrated with parades and processions, where people carry statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary through the streets. In Spain, there is a tradition called "Semana Santa," or "Holy Week," which involves elaborate processions and celebrations.
In India, the Christian community celebrates Easter by attending church services and exchanging gifts and greetings with friends and family. The holiday is also an opportunity for people of different faiths to come together and celebrate the arrival of spring.
In conclusion, Easter is a holiday that is celebrated around the world as a time of new beginnings, renewal, and the victory of life over death. Whether celebrated with bunnies and candy or religious observances and parades, Easter is a time for people of all cultures and faiths to come together and celebrate the beauty and wonder of spring.

COCOA forecast w/c 3 April 2023It looks like COCOA is setting up to cool off.
I'm not sure if it'll go lower than 20EMA - I consider this a low risk trade. I don't see the market going much higher without small correction first.
This is not a trading advice. Trading is risky. Always do your own analysis.
Cocoa Futures ( CC1! ), H4 Potential for Bullish ContinuationTitle: Cocoa Futures ( CC1! ), H4 Potential for Bullish Continuation
Type: Bullish Continuation
Resistance: 2838
Pivot: 2660
Support: 2565
Preferred case: Looking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for CC1! is bullish due to the current price above the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bullish market structure. If this bullish momentum continues, expect price to retest the pivot at 2660 where the overlap support and 50% Fibonacci line is before heading back up towards the resistance at 2838, where the previous swing high is.
Alternative scenario: Price may head back down towards the support level at 2565, which is the overlap support.
Fundamentals: There are no major news.

USCOCOASELLA short opportunity to sell USCOCOA with a head and shoulder pattern, and if it is breached downwards, the market will be negative
#CC #Cocoa #Cacao Since mid-September CC has started an up-trending channel reaching above 2600. This is usually Put range to me: specs tend to sell at these levels reason being short term it is a peak. I would not be surprised if it would not hold. Would be interesting to see the put/call ratio at this level.
On the other hand, much has been said about recession in these last weeks. Data flowing from Asia is not great (South Korea), as is some bigger names reporting earnings in the USA. Lots of layouts since 3q 2022 showing that there is not enough demand, or that businesses are getting ready for lower demand. That translates in non-essential items becoming secondary for consumers, in which chocolate can be included.
Nevertheless, there has been strong demand in its raw material (cocoa) and as of this week positive data from US posting a relative better than expected GDP growth. As seen in other agricultural commodities, offer has been somewhat restrained due to higher cost of inputs (fertilizers), and harder commercial conditions worldwide (shipping).
On the technical side, volume remains up and strong, both show support on its Short and Longer term MA. To see higher levels, CC would have to break above 2690. In the last 2 years, every time its hit above or at 2690 it has retreated back to its base line LB 2450.
Desde mediados de septiembre, CC ha iniciado un canal de tendencia alcista que supera los 2600. Esto suele ser un rango Put para mí: los especuladores tienden a vender en estos niveles porque, a corto plazo, es un pico. No me sorprendería que no aguantara. Sería interesante ver la relación put/call en este nivel.
Por otro lado, mucho se ha hablado de recesión en estas últimas semanas. Los datos que fluyen desde Asia no son excelentes (Corea del Sur), al igual que algunos nombres más importantes que reportan bajas ganancias en los EE. UU. Muchos despidos desde 3q 2022 muestran que no hay suficiente demanda o que las empresas se están preparando para una menor demanda. Eso se traduce en que artículos no esenciales pasen a ser secundarios para los consumidores, en los que se puede incluir el chocolate.
Sin embargo, ha habido una fuerte demanda en su materia prima (cacao) y a partir de esta semana datos positivos de EE. UU. que muestran un crecimiento del PIB relativamente mejor de lo esperado. Como se ha visto en otros productos básicos agrícolas, la oferta se ha visto algo restringida debido al mayor costo de insumos (fertilizantes) y condiciones comerciales más duras en todo el mundo (logistica).
En el aspecto técnico, el volumen se mantiene alto y fuerte, ambos muestran soporte en su media móvil de corto y largo plazo. Para ver niveles más altos, CC tendría que romper por encima de 2690. En los últimos 2 años, cada vez que toca por encima o llega a 2690, ha retrocedido a su línea base LB de 2450.
CC1! Potential For Bearish ContinuationLooking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for CC1! is bearish due to the current price being below the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bearish market.
Looking for a sell entry at 2602, where the overlap resistance and 61.8% Fibonacci line is. Stop loss will be at 2675, where the recent high is. Take profit will be at 2507, where the recent low is.

Cocoa hit our Target $26.90 next target $30.60Target reached with Cocoa at $26.90
7>21>200 MA
Still bullish
Target 2 due to an even bigger Cup and Handle sets the next price to $30.60
But with peripherals, there are a few reasons for the spike in Cocoa prices.
People are buying chocolates!
January is typically a busy month for chocolate manufacturers as they gear up for Valentine's Day, which results in increased demand for cocoa and can lead to an increase in prices.
Speculative buying:
Some investors and traders may anticipate a rise in cocoa prices and begin to buy up large quantities of cocoa futures in anticipation of a price increase. This buying activity can drive prices up.
Production forecasts
If there are forecast of lower cocoa production and if demand is strong, prices would rise as a lack of supply will cause price to increase.
