Palm oil may stabilize around a support at 3,292 ringgit per tonne and bounce toward 3,365 ringgit, as suggested by a projection analysis.

The support is provided by the 186.4% projection level on an uptrend from 2,293 ringgit. An inverted hammer formed on Monday, suggesting a completion of the fall from the Nov. 13 high of 3,413 ringgit, or the first round of the fall.

A drop below the Monday low of 3,278 ringgit may be extended to 3,239 ringgit. On the hourly chart, the contract is riding on a wave 3, which started at 2,764 ringgit.

This wave has a fierce character. It may not be disrupted by a deep correction. The bold speculation is the contract may open above 3,300 ringgit on Tuesday and then rise towards 3,348-3,381 ringgit range.
