December Coffee finished lower for the trading session while continuing to feel pressure from a closing price reversal top on the daily chart and finishing near a key retracement point on the weekly chart.
The weekly chart indicates the market is trading inside of a spiraling pattern created by a series of lower tops and higher bottoms on the weekly chart.
This lower top/higher bottom pattern has been created by progressively narrowing ranges between 112.00 to 146.45. All of these prices center on a retracement zone at 129.30 to 125.20. This zone will control the short-term direction of the market.
On the daily chart, the short-term range is 119.90 to 138.30. This range forms a retracement zone at 129.10 to 127.00. This zone combines with the weekly chart to create a price cluster at 129.30 to 129.10.
Watch for this zone to act like a pivot: bullish above and bearish below.
