The support was provided by the 50 percent retracement on the uptrend from $2,008 to $2,439. The next support will be at $2,173, around which a bounce may start.
The downtrend from $2,439 has been developing within a falling channel. It seems that cocoa is poised to leave the channel and fall into a duplicated channel, which suggests a target around $2,110.
The target at $2,173 will be temporarily aborted should cocoa stand firm above $2,224.
