NY coffee biased to break support at $1.8690

31 Oct, 2014

SINGAPORE: New York December coffee is biased to break a support at $1.8690 per lb, and then fall further towards $1.7780.

A five-wave cycle from the Oct. 13 high of $2.2545 is believed to be over at the Oct. 27 low of $1.88. However, the weak rebound from this low and the following drop signal an extension of the cycle.

It is not very clear yet if the current fall is driven by a wave (3) or a wave c, but both of them are fierce enough to travel to $1.6310, the July 15 low.

A Fibonacci retracement analysis on the rise from $1.6310 to $2.2545 reveals a support at $1.8690, the 61.8 percent level, a break below which will lead to a further loss to $1.7780, the 76.4 percent level.
