The resistance is identified as the 14.6% retracement on the uptrend from 1,916 ringgit to 2,312 ringgit. The contract seems to have stabilized around a support at 2,219 ringgit, which is strengthened by another one established by a rising trendline.

A drop below 2,201 ringgit could confirm a break below 2,219 ringgit and a target at 2,161 ringgit. On the daily chart, palm oil found a support at 2,219 ringgit, the 23.6% retracement on the downtrend from 3,202 ringgit to 1,916 ringgit. This support coincides with the one on the hourly chart.

Chances are it may hover above this support or resume its rally towards 2,407 ringgit. A break below 2,219 ringgit will not only cause a fall to 2,161 ringgit (hourly chart), but also open the way towards 2,104 ringgit.
