SINGAPORE (Nov 1): The palm oil January contract may slide more to RM2,782 per tonne, following its failure to break a resistance at RM2,860.

The resistance is established at the Sept. 14 high. The wave pattern shows that the drop seems to be driven by a wave 4, the fourth wave of a five-wave cycle from Oct. 11 low of RM2,685.

This wave could be as big as the former wave 2, to travel to RM2,800, as suggested by a rising channel. Logically, a drop to RM2,800 will confirm a break below RM2,812, and the break could cause a further loss to RM2,782, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the downtrend from RM2,860 to the Oct. 3 low of RM2,656.

Resistance is at RM2,832, a break above which could lead to a gain to RM2,860.
