According to technical analysis, technical indicators on the robusta floor are showing signs of continued downward momentum. It is expected that in the short term, robusta prices will fluctuate and accumulate within the range of 2530 - 2600. Robusta coffee prices need to surpass the psychological resistance of 2600 and maintain above this level to have a chance to recover.
On the contrary, the price range of 2495 - 2500 is the near support zone of robusta coffee. If robusta loses this price range, it can establish a downtrend.
Technical indicators on the Arabica exchange show that yesterday's price increase has temporarily interrupted the downward trend of Arabica coffee. However, technical indicators are showing that the downward momentum is still present.
In the short term, Arabica coffee prices are expected to fluctuate and accumulate within the range of 175 - 180. Arabica coffee needs to overcome the resistance level of 180 and close above this level to have a chance to recover. On the contrary, if the 174 - 175 area is lost, a downtrend may be established.
