We look to our RS indicator to identify support and resistance levels. According to our strategy, the support and resistance can be used respectively to set our take profit and stop loss.
‘Tis the season to be Chocolatey!While you’re enjoying the summer sun and clear skies back in SA paradise…
I’m afraid I’m not.
I’m trying to keep warm sitting inside a local restaurant in Greece with a cup of hot chocolate while I search for my next trade.
And surprise, surprise, cocoa popped up on my radar…
Here are three reasons why I’m buying cocoa and where I expect it to head next.
Reason #1: We are all buying
We are literally one month away from celebrating yet another Christmas.
And this is the top time of year where you, me and countless consumers will be buying chocolates.
This increase in demand, will have a positive impact on the price of cocoa…
Here’s a statement that Jack Scoville, analyst at Chicago’s Price Futures Group for “soft” commodities, has to say that coincides perfectly with the season:
“The weekly charts for cocoa imply that a significant rally is possible over the next few weeks,”
Reason #2: Thank the weather
Did you know two-thirds or 60% of the world’s supply of cocoa beans come from West Africa each year. This includes the Ivory Coast and Ghana.
You see, as cocoa is an agricultural commodity – the demand, supply and prices all have an impact based on the weather conditions and crop diseases that prevail.
Jack Scoville mentioned, for the incoming produce, that the harvest was active this week in the world’s largest growing region of West Africa, with good volume and quality.
It was also confirmed that the weather was also great for produce, due to the rain levels that West Africa received.
Jack then added, “The weather in Ivory Coast has improved due to reports of frequent showers.”
“The precipitation is a little less now so there are no real concerns about disease. Ideas are that the next crop will be very good. Both Ivory Coast and Ghana are doing what they can do boost cocoa prices.”
Reason #3: A new surcharge to boost the cocoa prices
This surcharge will have more of an impact than you think. Take the leading cocoa manufacturers including Hershey, Mars, Ferrero Group, Nestle etc…
Them and other companies depend on supplies from the Ivory Coast and Ghana for the beans.
This new premium will not only lead to a rise in price but also a further increase in cash flow, production, create sustainability and will allow farmers to boost wages for their workers.
And so the chocolate manufacturers have supported the two nations decision to add the $400 per ton surcharge.
Now let’s get into the charts…
Looking at the above daily chart of the spot Cocoa Futures price, we can see that since March 2019 the price has been moving in a sideways range between $1,640 and $1,940 (Shaded area).
Each time the price touched the $1,940 high, it then retraced back ended up making an even higher low.
This has formed what’s known as an Ascending Triangle.
This positive formation shows prices touching the same high while making higher, low prices, until there is a upside breakout.
This took place last week (red shaded area), which confirmed there was a lot more upside to come.
In fact, we can now expect the upside momentum to continue which will take the cocoa futures price to the next high - See the analysis above...
COCOA: On a multi month Higher High. How to trade it.Cocoa has been trading on a multi-year Channel Up since May 2017 with the 1D chart trading near the overbought territory (RSI = 70.555, MACD = 51.220, Highs/Lows = 144.4643).
If the Channel stays intact then the price should pull back towards the 1D MA200 for a Higher Low near 2,365. If however it breaks as it did in March 2018 then it can easily reach 2,940 which is the 2 year high. We have identified 2,700 as this break out point. You may trade accordingly with a tight SL.

COCOA BULLISH BIAS Ok Leo, do you want me to buy something that is already at a supply zone? That’s exactly what I am telling you to do, and why? Well mainly because big speculators, aka “smart money” just turn net long at this!
Ok, so I just go long at the market? Not so fast, There’s a big supply zone one weekly and price will react from that point. So you can adopt two behaves:
Conservative
Aggressive
CONSERVATIVE:
You will wait for the breakout of the supply zone and enter at the pullback
AGGRESSIVE
Yes, you will take at market, try to work your order as these markets do not have a lot of liquidity or you can get a big spread and slippage.\
July COCOA Contracts SHORTPrice action play into support. Close today signifies a short trigger; 2 contract entry separate orders one with target at support other as trailing stop incase market decides to run to the downside.
Cocoa BullishCocoa analysis:
Seasonality: usually Cocoa advances mid April, but the real surge begins Jun, though Cocoa seems interestingly very bullish with respect to its seasonality
1- COT : commercials where extremely long
2- Open Interest : commercials holding their shorts in consolidation after an impulse leg
3- Backwardation : nearby contract is trading at a Premium compared to next contract (somebody is willing to pay more for his Cocoa)
4- A down close candle on daily (an Order Block ) has been created = more buying ?
* If April 15 closes above 2434 the order block is validated
5- Targets are: 2490/2720
Cocoa Buy & ShortCocoa is a buy at the moment but there are also short opportunities to be had once we reach the top.

#COCOA $COCOA scenario1. main scenario is retrace to $2200 then go upward to $2600.
2. if it holds $2350(current TL), it is possible to see straight up to $2600
My feeling is the former as stochastics/PMO/MACD are all going downward so healthy pullback is due.
#cocoa $cocoa cycle analysisCOCOA hit resistance zone and could retrace to $2200 level then we go north.
Nice weather in nice climateCocoa could be very good if watered good but not plenty on vegetation and 8 percent more on flowering. cut the lower leaves on vegetation please, leave %70 of all growing leaves please monsierie mexican farmers. see ya.
COCOA, COT ANALYSIS, LONGAt 1800 levels we will definitely close the short position and in accordance to COT commercial We will revert to LONG again
Cocoa futures monthly demand in control, long opportunitiesCocoa futures monthly demand in control, long opportunities. Going short with monthly demand level in control is very risky and low odds. Very strong monthly demand created with proximal line at 1995. New daily demand zones being created, not yet available. Longer term long bias with this monthly demand zone in control.
