Highlights

KC/USX maintains a long-term upward trend, despite short-term selling pressure and mixed technical alignment across timeframes.
Momentum and overbought indicators diverge, signaling strong buyer dominance but caution against immediate upside continuation.
Expected trading range for the next 2-3 sessions is 324.19–342.07, with reversal risk rated as very low and baseline scenario favoring sideways movement.

Mixed momentum as KC tests resistance amid buyer dominance

On the hourly chart, KC is positioned below the MA-20 but above the MA-50, while on the daily timeframe, it remains above the MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun at USX335.53 provides immediate resistance. Momentum signals are mixed: MACD and ADX both show buying pressure, though Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power highlight overbought conditions with strong buyer dominance. RSI stands at 57.44 in the buy zone, while CCI and Awesome Oscillator are neutral. Despite a daily gain and an upward price gap, KC is near its session low, suggesting some loss of intraday strength.

Bullish breakout favored as upside probability outweighs reversal risk

Over the next 2 to 3 trading days, KC is expected to move within a USX324.19–USX342.07 range. The probability of an upward scenario is rated very high, with a very low likelihood of reversal. The baseline case anticipates KC remaining in a sideways corridor, with potential for a bullish breakout above immediate resistance, while a bearish scenario would emerge only if the price falls below local support.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees mixed technical signals for Coffee futures despite recent gains above key moving averages. He notes that short-term momentum is losing strength, while overbought readings and strong buyer dominance raise caution. Kharitonov expects the price to stay in a sideways corridor with only a high-probability breakout scenario if immediate resistance is cleared. "Until we see a clear move above USX335.53, I remain cautious and watch for renewed selling pressure if local support fails."

Earlier, analysts noted that buyers maintained control of coffee futures even as technical indicators suggested a period of consolidation. The current setup reinforces this cautiously bullish outlook, with an increased probability of an upside breakout if momentum persists above immediate resistance levels.
