Commitment of Traders Defending Cocoa Resistance

Commercial Traders Defend Cocoa at $2400.

Commercial traders rule sideways market. Three wins in a row. Will it be four?

We often talk about the Commercial Traders’ ability to define value as markets meander. The cocoa futures market has been an exceptional example over the last few months. The market has basically, gone nowhere. Fortunately, we’ve been able to pick up three succesful trades by following their ideas on overbought and oversold markets. Let’s see if we can make it four in a row. We are selling September Cocoa futures and placing our protective buy stop above yesterday’s high of 2375.

Please calll with any questions.

Commercial Traders Selling with Seasonal Tendency

Commitment of Traders Report aligns bearish seasonal pattern with commercial selling.

The cocoa market is exhibiting classic commercial trader behavior. Commercials were buyers in April near the $2050 per ton lows and now that the market has come back to test the $2275-$2350 area, commercial traders have turned sellers. Last week’s Commitment of Traders Report shows that commercial traders sold nearly 5,000 contracts, 12.5% of their total position.

They clearly expect the resistance to hold and the market to exhibit its typical seasonal price decline from July, 1st – expiration of the September contract. We will be selling September Cocoa and placing our protective buy stop above the recent swing high of $2271.
