The resistance is identified as the 86.4% retracement on the downtrend from 2,344 ringgit to 1,916 ringgit, serving as the last barrier towards 2,344 ringgit.

A break below 2,286 ringgit, now a support, may indicate a reversal of the uptrend and an immediate target will be established at 2,243 ringgit.

On the hourly chart, palm oil is riding on an upward wave 5, the final wave of a five-wave cycle from 1,916 ringgit. A rising trendline passing through the peaks of the wave 1 and the wave 3 suggests the wave 5 may end in a range of 2,310-2,344 ringgit, or at least, a very deep correction is due.
