Chart Analysis
On the daily timeframe, COCOA: D1 approached the downtrend resistance line. It must be broken upward before opening a position. A number of technical analysis indicators have generated signals for further growth. We do not rule out a bullish movement if COCOA rises above the last fractal upper, 200-day moving average and upper Bollinger line: 2474. This level can be used as an entry point. The initial risk limitation is possible below the Parabolic signal and the last lower fractal: 2250. After opening a pending order, move the stop following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals to the next fractal low. Thus, we change the potential profit / loss ratio in our favor. The most cautious traders, after making a deal, can go to the four-hour chart and set a stop-loss, moving it in the direction of movement. If the price overcomes the stop level (2250) without activating the order (2474), it is recommended to delete the order: there are internal changes in the market that were not taken into account.
