Cotton Long Trade IdeaCotton has been in a range for a long time. Currently, we see a reversal. The drought in the USA and Asia has significantly influenced the supply side, which is noticeable in the price. Also, seasonally, an upward trend is expected. However, the COT data from the COT report do not confirm the buy signal. Nevertheless, I still anticipate an upward trend if the fundamental situation in the market fully prevails
Cotton Cash Contract - Rectangle PatternCommodity: Cotton Cash Contract
Introduction:
Hello everyone! Today, we'll be analyzing the Cotton Cash Contract on the daily scale traded on Pepperstone. After a clear downward trend, the contract seems to have entered a consolidation phase, possibly forming a rectangle pattern.
Analysis:
The rectangle pattern we're observing has been forming for around 196 days. The upper boundary of this pattern is approximately at $90, which has been tested three times so far. Meanwhile, the lower boundary is at around $77.50, with two touch points to date.
Currently, the price hasn't managed to cross above the 200 EMA. However, if we observe a breakout above the upper boundary, it would place the price above the 200 EMA, potentially paving the way for a long entry.
Upon a valid breakout, our projected price target would be $100.660, translating into a potential price rise of approximately 13%.
Conclusion:
The Cotton Cash Contract's technical analysis suggests a consolidation phase marked by a potential rectangle pattern. A breakout above the upper boundary might signal a shift to a bullish trend and could provide an opportunity for a long position.
As always, be sure to conduct your own research and risk management before investing.

$CT1! Cotton... ICEUS:CT1! Cotton!
Bless ya cotton socks, they say! I been checking the commodity index and things may get funky...
Now I went through sugar, that's looking like it's little over extended, now here's a beautiful chart of cotton!
Let's dive into technicals:
Pattern: Wedge
Highs: 90.15 Lows: 72
Now if we break the lows of 72, I expect 67.55 and then 62.25 areas. However, if we break above the highs of 90.15, I expect 95 and then 105 areas. Now, there are certain things to keep in mind, everyone is discussing it and I've started it since start of the year that key words: Stagflation....and there's another one recession! The market is forward looking...Those that understand economic cycles saw this coming and I well recommending researching into that, as much as technicals are important but it's really important to understand the type of cycle we are in and I had mentioned a little in my past week ahead videos!
Have a great weekend, it's long one for some of us! 🌞

Cotton Futures ( CT1! ), H4 Potential for Bullish RiseTitle: Cotton Futures ( CT1! ), H4 Potential for Bullish Rise
Type: Bullish Rise
Resistance: 87.97
Pivot: 82.36
Support: 80.37
Preferred case: Looking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for CL1! is bullish due to the current price crossing above the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bullish market. If this bullish momentum continues, expect price to continue heading towards the resistance at 87.97, where the recent high is.
Alternative scenario: Price may head back down to retest the pivot at 82.36, where the 23.6% Fibonacci line is.
Fundamentals: There are no major news.
COTTON // rangebound martketThe market made a nice impulse up on the daily, and the correction of this long impulse brought the market into a range.
A break from this range may take the price higher into correction or deeper in the direction of the primary trend, but I would take profit on the short trades at the start of the daily corrective impulse, and wait for a countertrend to target the fibo target zones and the weekly north breakout.

Cotton price looking bullish after breaking above 50 day SMATODAY’S MARKET IDEA:
Cotton price looking bullish after breaking above 50 day moving average
Cotton vs US Dollar current price $88.25, both rate of change 4 and 13 day above zero line (bullish); MACD above its signal line (bullish) and the fact that current price is above both its respective 20 and 50 day moving averages indicate bullish technical conditions, upside potential for longs in the short term (1-25 days) at $95.87 (38.2% retracement from its 13 week low) provide price can remain above the $86.2 support.
Not investment advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
COTTON // short idea in a nice short trendCOTTON is going south. There was a stop at a weekly technical zone, but it was broken badly, so I assume price is heading south towards the next weekly zone.

COTTON // sideways after reaching weekly local lowHi✋🏽
Price has reached a weekly low from May '21, and buyers made it go 1-2 from the 1-2-3 wave. We are in the 3rd wave moving up, but price can easily go sideways for some time before breaking out of this zone.
The long and the short trigger zone marks the sideways channel.
What do you think???
