Before I dig into the nitty gritty of this potentially sweet trade setup, I would like to first wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

Being from Canada, I’m very lucky to be able to spend quality time with my family for the next month down in the sunshine state of Florida. I sure love the ocean breeze, sand between the toes, palm trees, and heat. Its amazing how cold Floridians make a sunny 70-degree day look being all bundled up in pants, jackets, and hats while I live in my bathing suit practically the entire time I’m down here. I don’t put on pants or a sweater until its 65ish outside or a restaurant demands I must wear pants and I’m still sweating wearing all that clothing. Its great to be back in America!

Ok, lets get back to this sweet trade setting up!

In this article, I show you my analysis and share my thoughts on what is likely to take place with sugar looking forward 2-3 months if not longer. Instead of writing a long article I have attached three charts which clearly show my thinking and price projections.

MONTHLY CHART OF SUGAR

The monthly chart moves as slow as molasses for trading and investing, but it does provide valuable information. The key data it shows us are the major trend, support and resistance levels, and potential reversal signals via candlestick patterns.

Typically, if a chart shows a long lower or upper wick it signals price has found either support or resistance and a change in direction is likely to occur.

The chart below is currently showing up what I call “Tweezers”. Two candles both with long upper wicks which tell us seller are present and selling into the buying pressure. This is a great signal that lower prices are very possible. You should keep in mind that we are only half way through the month of December which means this candle still has another 10+ days of trading before it closes. So this is not a true tweeze pattern until the month is over.
