SINGAPORE: New York September cocoa may break a support at $2,401 per tonne and retreat to $2,376, as it failed to break a strong resistance at $2,453.

The resistance is identified as the 61.8% retracement of the downtrend from $2,590 to $2,232. The failure to overcome this barrier suggests the completion of the rise from $2,232.

A break above $2,421 could lead to a gain into $2,440-$2,453 range.
