9/4/26 Bears Need FT Selling to Show ControlCrude Palm Oil FuturesMYX:FCPO1!Tech_Trader88Wednesday's candlestick (April 8) was a big bear bar testing the 20-day EMA. In our last report, we said traders would watch if bulls could create a strong breakout above the 2025 high, or if the market would stall around these levels, followed by a pullback to the 20-day EMA this week. Bulls see the current move as a deep pullback and want the third leg sideways to up with the first two legs being March 9 and April 1. At the least, they want a retest of the April 1 high, even if it makes a lower high. They want the 20-day EMA to act as support. If the market trades lower, they hope the area around 4450-4500 would act as support. Bears view the recent move as a retest the prior high (March 9), and want a reversal from a higher high major trend reversal. Bears need to create consecutive bear bars closing near their lows trading far below the 20-day EMA to show they are back in control.
