Raggiunto il lato superiore del traderange a 86c il KC è stato prepotentemente respinto e i corsi son scesi sino alla zona 72,5 -73 cents.
Dei tre gaps lasciati aperti nella discesa, l'ultimo , l'exahusting gap, è stato coperto ieri, gli altri occhieggiano in alto.
A Londra il caffè robusta ha rotto un importante supporto settimanale a 650$/tonne ed è sceso sotto i 600 per recuperarli poi ieri nel finale con una candela bianca del tipo bullish engulfing. Il robusta ha sempre sottoperformato NY e minaccia di mantenersi ancora debole in quanto si avvicina il tempo del raccolto nei campi di caffè vietnamiti e quindi l'arrivo degli hedge dei produttori su ogni rimbalzo del mercato è più che probabile.
Allo short sul LKDX04 a 700, ne avevo aggiunto un altro su rottura dei 650 a 645$/tonne , ieri sulla chiusura in recupero ne ho chiuso uno a 602.
Mantengo il long storico sul KC, fedele al motto semper fidelis
Ieri a chiusura mercato è uscito il dato sugli stocks di caffè US in settembre, rumours nel pit chiamavano un declino di 500k, il dato è invece risultato essere un meno 254725 .
I COT hanno evidenziato un'assottigliamento del netlong dei fondi con OI in caduta sulla chiusura dei long man mano che i prezzi precipitavano dai massimi.
Venendo alle previsioni meteo, che son state un pò il motivo scatenante delle vendite, son previste piogge e temporali nel Minas Gerais e nella regione di Sao Paulo da venerdì a giovedì prossimo. Qualche rovescio leggero è previsto anche al nord , con temperature nella media del periodo dell'anno.
Ora posto un commento di natura tecnica di naguale e un report di ciò che ha visto accadere direttamente sul pit del caffè NYCoffee :
COFFEE:
Total volume 7850 lots est.
Heaviest traded area appears to be at 7410.
Pivot 7413 and supports 7336/7208. Resistances 7541/7618.
20/40/200 MA 7899/7659/7814.
BULLISH ENGULFING in candlesticks. I said yesterday in my comment, to watch out for a bullish confirmation today after the bearish engulfing at the bottom of a trend. And a confirmation it is today.
In the weeklies we also have a positive candle:ADVANCE BLOCK.
The market has closed above the weekly 14 MA(7429). The weekly 7 MA finished today at 7717( possible resistance).
Weekly Gann angles for next week at 7558/7942 as resistances and 7174 as support.
London November has a very nice positive technical picture with the last 3 candles: Wednesday a hammer, Thursday an inverted hammer and today bullish engulfing with a close almost at the high of the day. I expect this market to be doing very well on Monday morning, thus a nice call higher for NY.
Sao Paulo December the same thing: a very nice white candle with the close near the highs of the day.

The selling that we have seen over past week or so seemed to be drying up as of today. At some points the previous sellers came back to sell but the selling was having less of an effect on the market as there was demand for those contracts being offered under 7350. Trade and Industry were the main buyers.
The COT should of been no surprise as the open interest has been going down as the market has been moving lower indicating long liquidation to short covering. There were some that were expecting the funds to show some type of short position and are viewing the COT as somewhat bearish but obviously they havent been following the OI. I imagine that as of tonight the funds are flat to slightly short. The Open Interest is actually the lowest that it has been since Dec 2003.
The small spec gross long and net long position is at the lowest since Dec 2001 when the market was under 5000, They are now gross long 10,596 and net long 4,634.
On April 6 2004 the small specs were actually gross long as much as 18,772 and net long 8,523 and prices were basically at the same value they are now, July was Trading 7500.
Sao Paulo opened 20 pts off there low and settled on there dead high of the day while London opened one point off there low to settle just one point off there high. Its been a while since we have seen all three market perform with the same strength to the upside.
The NY/SP ARB remains strong at 895 as of todays settlements.
