NY cocoa may drop to $1,344 in three months

Published Updated

cocoaSINGAPORE: New York cocoa will fall to $1,344 per tonne over the next three months, as indicated by its wave pattern.

A long-term bull cycle that started at the Dec. 2000 low of $707 has completed at the March high of $3,775, and cocoa is riding on a strong downtrend towards $1,344, the presumed wave "B" trough.

Impulsive waves started to unfold from $3,248, a high touched in July, and the current downtrend will eventually develop five waves.

The rebound from the Dec. 12 low of $1,983 is labeled as a wave "4", likely to be capped at $2,387, the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement on the wave "3" drop from $2,791 to $1,983.

The rebound seems to be triggered by an ascending trendline passing through the wave "B" trough. Strategically, a break below $1,983 is needed to confirm the resumption of the downtrend towards $1,344.
