FCPO WAVE 2 CORRECTION PROGRESSKey Level = 1940
From our previous analysis:
“Expecting a 3-structure movement in corrective fashion to complete correction wave (ii)
from my personal opinion, I would like to see the end of wave (ii) at the area of 2093 – 2026”
Wave (ii) unfold into zig-zag pattern and we can see a clear 5-structure movement for wave C toward our target area.
With the idea of diagonal triangle wave (5) to end wave C and (ii), there are still left some room for throw-over below 2100 area. Expecting a sharp movement toward 2217 if everything goes according to plan.
Our key level is set at 1940, which is the starting point of wave 1 and as per Elliott rules “Wave 2 never retrace more than 100% of wave 1”. This wave analysis remains valid as long as our key level hold.
Let’s see what the market will offer us this week.
Happy Trading.
Fcpo!

FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Dec 12th 2018Recent bullish momentum was short lived after FCPO failed to break the 2055 - 2060 zone. As of now, FCPO seems to trade within a contracting triangle. Our primary projection of an expanded triangle looks bleak, but valid nonetheless. With no fundamental element to entice market to climb higher, the last bullish leg (wave c of (e)) of the expanding triangle is likely to develop under the pretext of contract roll over. It holds true, if and only if, FCPO is traded until the end of this week within the range, bound by the upper and lower lines of the converging triangle.
That being said, it is essentially important to note that a symmetrical contracting triangle is a continuation pattern, so a strong bearish momentum can fully develop right off the bat.
We will take a closer look at the following area as market unfolds.
1965 - 1970
#analysis #12Dec18
FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Nov 30th 2018An expanding triangle is anticipated. Price needs to travel beyond the 2078 price level to ascertain triangle formation. Wave c of (e) is likely to terminate between 2110 - 2125. Any strong violation of EW invalidation level @ 2137 could suggest the next major downtrend may be limited to a certain extent.
Market is then expected to embark on another (probably final) journey further down south.
With the burgeoning stockpile and lack of demand, it is interesting to see how market reacts at the weekly demand zone between 1863 - 1943. #analysis #30Nov18
FCPO - Head and Shoulder BreakdownThe current forward curve in FCPO are trading at the steepest contango throughout the year. The sluggish front months is suggesting market having high inventory.
The price have breakdown significant price level 2137, and this break down also confirm the head and shoulder formation which use 4 months to formed. The pattern projection is targeting 1970.
If price is trading below 2137, next support at 2078, 2033 & chart pattern target 1970.
FCPO - Surprising Survey DataThe strong demand in September month have potential to consume rising production. As suggested from yesterday survey data released by Bloomberg and CIMB. Surveys are expecting an unchange inventory for Sep month from Bloomberg and expecting slightly rised by CIMB. (See Below data) Meanwhile, market is waiting Reuters survey data and the first five days SPPOMA production for Oct. Yesterday price rally were largely reflecting the surprised survey data.
The price found crucial support in 2137 as suggested earlier (see previous post for explanation). The current rebound still premature to justify as trend reversal but seen as price rebound. Refer to the right chart, rebound will seen major resistance at 2240. And shorter term time frame on right charts showing price rebound have reached projection price 2233 yesterday. With soyoil down 1.58% overnight and slightly lower oil price, FCPO has retraced from 2232 and reflect the sentiment.
Trader please monitor price level 2233 to 2240 to indicate further direction. If price stay below this zone, FCPO remain in down trend. Otherwise, stronger rebound above 2240.

FCPO - Eye on Export DataPalm oil had dropped almost 150 points in just two weeks time as concern on rising inventory. In fact, demand were surprisingly good during the first 15 days of September. The first 20 days export data is due on today. Trader please be cautious if the continue strong demand will trigger potential price rebound if market have overdone. Speculation of 3.3 m inventory by Dorab still uncertain with surprised demand.
On the left chart showing a 2 months chart, the horizontal line in orange plot at 2013 Jul low 2137, If you look at the the entire chart, price did not trade lower than this for almost a decade except 2014 to 2015. As price near to this level, market is expect to be volatile. Meantime,
In technical view, price may initiate rebound with nearing long term price zone 2137. Market is expect to open higher with Soyoil increased 1.36% from yesterday 6 pm closing of Bursa FCPO1!. And price have achieved 7 multiples of golden ratio at 2158 (see right chart)
If rebound, resistance at 2175 to 2187.
If open gap up, price may fill the gap and trend remain favorable to selling.
If open gap up, price do not fill the gap fully, price factoring in potential strength for rebound.

FCPO: WAVE 3 IS COMING!Key Level: 2303
We can clearly see movement of price in a motive manner.
Breaching 2 important level, 1) Correction Channel and 2) 2197 level, add support the idea that wave 4 has already topped at 2303.
Breaking below 2197 has cancel the 5 structure uptrend movement for wave C of Y, hence limiting the movement to 3 structure wave = correction wave.
2303 serve and act as our key level/critical level for this analysis, should wave (iv) completed and wave (v) is unfold, price has no business to go above our key level.
Expecting a rebound in price and follow by a strong movement of wave 3 to the downside.
Wave 3 is coming!

FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Sep 7th 2018fcpoLast friday, market failed to seal off completely the 10-tick gap down that was formed early in the session. In fact, it was finally closed @ 2264; suggesting the confluence area between 2250 and 2260 may already have weakened.
With the current situation, the correction phase may already have peaked at 2203. To reflect with the current development, we have downgraded any bullish attempt of wave (5) of © of (e) of (4) into an alternate count.
Our new primary projection is based on
i) the new resistance area (pinbar) that was recently created around 2277 to 2286.
ii) the extreme confluence area (2300 - 2310) that was tested twice (barely though)
Primary count #1
Price may respond to the confluence area (2235 - 2242) before resuming to move downwards.
Primary count #2
Price will quickly trade lower; breaking the lower channel line as well as violating the EW invalidation line (alternate count).
Alternate count
We cannot rule out completely a renewed bullish attempt unless the lower channel line is broken or the EW invalidation level @ 2238 is violated.
In fact, the alternate count is quick to materialize if FCPO is opened above the confluence area (2275 - 2286) through a gap up (either morning or evening session).
P.S MPOB report is expected to be released this afternoon
We will see what market offers us today. #analysis #12Sep18

The latest MPOB Aug survey data suggesting increase in inventory with CIMB released the most bearish survey data. As long holiday ahead, and MPOB data to release at 12 Sep after holiday. The market is expect to be trading sideway.

FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Sep 7th 2018We are currently looking at the development of wave c of (4) of (c). Under further scrutiny (TF 15), the 5-wave structure is hardly seen (it hasn't fully developed). Depending on how it unfolds today, the correction wave may terminate around 2265 – 2272 or around 2250 – 2260 area before it starts to rally again.
Apparently, wave (3) of (c) is an extended one as it terminated @ 2.618 extension. With that in mind, we assume wave (5) of (c) has an equal length of wave (1) of (c).
Based on the analysis, FCPO may gain bullish momentum again but the rally will be limited by the confluence area (2300 – 2310). At the end of the day, we will see either a truncation or a small overshoot of wave (5) of (c).
Upside limit
As we can see, the upper channel line that governs the extreme high of wave (4) has been diverging from both confluence area (2300 – 2310) and the invalidation level (2324). If FCPO is able to touch the upper channel line or the invalidation level is violated, it may suggest that the next major downtrend will be limited to a certain extent.
We will see what market offers us today. #analysis #07Sep18
FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Sep 5th 2018Yesterday, FCPO has effortlessly bypassed the 2260 & 2265 key levels as well as the confluence area (2265 – 2278) through a 15-tick gap up. Market then edged up steadily throughout the day towards the psychological level @ 2300.
Hourly EW Count
Structure wise, the strong momentum from 2214 to 2301 is a clear manifestation of wave 3. We should see some retracement of wave 4 after touching the 2300 price level before it struggles to move back up again as a wave 5 (it can be in the form of compression or a complete truncation). Wave (4) is expected to terminate around 2300 – 2310 with extreme high is governed by the upper channel line.
Highlights
It is worth to note that FCPO has now reached the extreme high area of wave (4). The following are the things that we should be aware of.
1. EW invalidation level (daily/weekly) @ 2324
2. Weekly chart clearly shows that market is moving in a corrective fashion (within deceleration channel) and has now touched the base channel.
3. Confluence area between 2300 – 2308
5. Dynamic EW upper channel line (today’s highest point on hourly chart would be 2320)
This is the last bastion for the downtrend. If market is able to bulldoze this extreme area and strongly violate EW invalidation level @ 2324, a recount will be required.

FCPO - Impulsive Up Swing to 2337Malaysia Palm oil have reversed trend to upside on 3 Sep when price break above 2269 (61.8% of previous down impulsive wave). The current breakup is heading 2337 according to fibonacci spiral. Trader please initiate long until market trade lower low. You can also see the spiral projection found "double top" formation at 11.089 2262. Above this level price is likely to approach the next spiral level 17.942 2337.
FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Sep 3rd 2018Overall, FCPO has almost reached the end of wave © of (e) (4) ( primary count ) or the end of wave © of (ii) of (5) ( alternate count ). Market can now, at any time, slide all the way down to find new low assuming no complex correction or no truncation along the way.
That being said, we still reserve our opinion that FCPO may have not peaked just yet. From EW point of view, wave © of (e) of (4) or wave © of (ii) of (5) should develop into a 5-subwave structure. Apparently, it is a 3-subwave structure for the time being.
Primary Count (black)
Triangle correction - Wave © of (e) of (4) terminates around 2268 - 2275
Alternate Count (green)
Running flat correction - Wave © of (ii) of (5) terminates between 2250 - 2265
Upside limit
Extreme high of wave (4) is capped at a confluence area between 2300 – 2310 and is always governed by the dynamic upper channel. Any strong movement above this area will require a recount. Even though it is fundamentally and technically a far-fetched idea at the moment, we reiterate this for the umpteenth times to make sure we cover all bases.
We will see what market offers us this monday. #analysis #03Sep18
FCPO: Hourly EW Count - Aug 29th 2018FCPO hinted that it is ready to dive in after the lower channel was briefly broken on Monday evening. We hope, though, to see it is closed below the harmonic key level @ 2192 to reaffirm its bearish posture. To reflect the current development, alternate count (green) is included.
Primary count (black)
Our view remains the same; a new high around 2265 - 2278 is still possible in order to complete wave (e) of (4).
Alternate count (green)
Wave (ii) of (5) is likely to further develop into a flat correction but is restricted to a regular flat as the upper limit of the flat correction will be capped by 2265 (EW invalidation).
Bear in mind, throughout the previous session, FCPO did not manage to close above the harmonic key level @ 2235. It may signifies that the bull run will be short lived and it may continue its journey to the next demand zone (2164 - 2180).
We will see what market offers us today. #analysis #29Aug18
