The Miami FoB index is unchanged from last week at $5.91. The index price is still above the brown upsloping trend line.

The Composite Index is holding its fast-moving average and has slightly broken the grey up trending support line. The Composite Index moving averages are getting closer together. This is an interesting setup in the Composite Index. Some of the strongest moves come from when an indicator tests it’s positive or negative crossover of its moving averages and reacts. The RSI displacement is very close to last weeks displacement.

Both indicators have history at these displacements. I’m still inclined to stay bullish on the Miami FoB prices as long as the prices stay above the brown upsloping trend line.

I’m still looking for a market that leads the Oslo FoB index and the Miami FoB index. I’ve included a second chart with the Oslo FoB Index, the blue line in the chart. The green line is the US Dollar Index and the brown line is the Miami FoB Index. Usually when the US Dollar Index rallies, most commodities move in the opposite direction and vice versa.

What is Technical Analysis?

Technical Analysis is used to try and identify price trends in the future. Analysts believe that by using factual past information (trading activity and price changes) it is possible to identify future price movement trends and is quite prevalent in commodity and forex markets but can be applied to any product.

Technical Analysis has been developing for over a century, and there are now hundreds of patterns and signals that have been created. They are often used in conjunction with other forms of research and analysis to help formulate, or support pricing trend opinions.

The analysis will show the expected trends and potential (price) levels, as well as other markers – for example, higher or lower price triggers that would affect the analysis of the trend – and what this might mean.
