Downside risk dominates as bullish reversal chances remain limited
In the short term, the price is expected to fluctuate between USX278.01 and USX291.69. The probability of an upward move is considered very low, with a further decline much more likely and the chance of a reversal limited. The baseline scenario anticipates stabilization within this sideways range, though a break above the Kijun level would suggest renewed bullish momentum, while a drop below forecast support could extend the downside.
Earlier, analysts noted that coffee prices remained under sustained selling pressure amid bearish technical signals. The current analysis reinforces this outlook, with persistent downside momentum suggesting traders should closely monitor for a potential move below the prevailing support band in the days ahead.
