Chart Analysis

On the daily timeframe, COFFEE: D1 is in an uptrend and has approached the 200-day moving average line. It should be broken above before opening a long position. Several technical analysis indicators have formed signals for further upward movement. We do not exclude a bullish movement if COFFEE: D1 rises above the last fractal high, the 200-day moving average line, and the upper Bollinger Band: 194. This level can be used as an entry point. The initial risk limit can be placed below the Parabolic signal, the last fractal low, and the lower Bollinger Band: 174. After opening a pending order, the stop loss should be adjusted along with the Bollinger Band and Parabolic signals to the next fractal minimum. This way, we adjust the potential profit/loss ratio in our favor. The most cautious traders can switch to the four-hour chart after executing the trade and set a stop loss, moving it in the direction of the movement. If the price surpasses the stop level (4.7) without activating the order (4.9), it is recommended to cancel the order: there are internal changes happening in the market that were not taken into account.
