NY sugar has been bid in recent sessions causing prices to close at 17.80. The stochastics have given buy signal and are pushing higher towards overbought, but futures have failed to break above the 40DMA at 17.82. The MACD diff is positive once again and the two strong candles suggest higher prices towards 18. However, the long term trend remains on the downside as rallies into the 40 DMA have repeatedly failed. This could set the scene for a retracement back towards 17, with the recent low at 16.75. To confirm the improving sentiment, prices need to break above 18 in higher volumes, we would expect any rally to find strong resistance between 18.17-18.44.
