SINGAPORE (Apr 2): Palm oil is poised to break a support at 2,146 ringgit per tonne and drop further to 2,106 ringgit, as indicated by a triangle and a Fibonacci retracement analysis.

The support is provided by the 86.4 percent Fibonacci retracement on the rise from the Jan. 30 low of 2,106 ringgit to the March 4 high of 2,400 ringgit. Palm oil has been hovering above this barrier for more than two weeks, consolidating within a triangle.

The lower trendline of the pattern has established a support around 2,146 ringgit as well. This pattern could be bearish, as it followed a downtrend. A drop to 2,140 ringgit will confirm a break below the support and the target at 2,106 ringgit.
