NY 2nd Month Sugar Futures
NY sugar futures gained ground yesterday as buying pressure triggered a close on the front foot at 18.11. The stochastics are rising yet converging, with the %K seen tailing off in thee overbought, as the MACD diff is positive and diverging on the upside. This suggests we could see higher prices in the near term towards 18.53, before testing the 19.00 level. On the downside, the candle found support at 18.00, and if the prices break through this level, we could see prices retreat back through the 17.87 before 17.66. The evening star formation with long upper and lower wicks points to market uncertainty, and we could see prices moderate today.

The market needs to take out support at the 1700 level and then 1669, this could trigger losses back towards the robust support level of 10 DMA at 1657.

The long lower wick points to an increased appetite on the downside, and we could see prices edge lower in the near term.
