Mixed technical momentum as sellers exhaust near key support
On the h1 chart, KC/USX trades below its MA-20 at USX313.2 and MA-50 at USX311.42, while holding above the long-term MA-200 at USX300.21. The Ichimoku Kijun, currently at USX313.33, serves as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators are mixed: MACD and ADX both remain neutral. RSI is at 44.84, signaling a sell bias. Stoch RSI, CCI, and Bull/Bear Power are deep in oversold territory, pointing to short-term exhaustion for sellers, and Bull/Bear Power confirms continued intraday selling dominance. Persistent negative intraday momentum contrasts with oversold oscillator readings.
Sideways outlook expected as volatility defines near-term range
Over the next two to three trading days, KC/USX is expected to remain within the USX300.25 to USX309.54 range, reflecting typical volatility for the current market environment. The most probable scenario is sideways price action around these levels. There is a 55% probability of a move toward the upper end of the band, with a 45% chance of further declines. A break above USX313.33 would mark a bullish scenario, while a sustained drop below USX300.25 could trigger another leg lower.
Previously it was reported that coffee futures exhibited a broadly bullish bias while consolidating above key technical support levels. The current price action now introduces a shift toward short-term weakness, making the USX313.33 resistance a critical level for any attempted rebound in the coming sessions.
