Coffee Futures Technical Analysis

This post is a follow up from our November 26th post, Coffee Prices Will Give Many a Jolt in 2020.



Since the large rally in Q4 of 2019, Coffee has had a vicious retracement providing a nice opportunity to extend coverage for 2020.  Based on our 2020 targets and where the market makes a new low, the risk-reward is very favorable for getting long; risking $1 to make $3.84.

  • As vicious as the decline has been, it has remained within parallel lines, indicating it is just a correction of the larger, overall uptrend.
  • RSI is near the bull market support of 40 and holding so far. This can be used as a barometer to see if the current decline is a correction or a new downtrend.
  • Prices near a Fibonacci cluster that provides the market a high probability area to reverse.
