It is the best-looking trade setup in the market this week.<\/p>\n<p>The last time the chart of coffee looked the way it does today, the price popped 20% higher in two weeks. It gained 60% in seven months.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this weekly chart of coffee\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"535\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8499\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-15-at-9.05.19-AM.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-15-at-9.05.19-AM.png 684w, https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-15-at-9.05.19-AM-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-15-at-9.05.19-AM-504x394.png 504w, https:\/\/jeffclarktrader.com\/market-minute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-15-at-9.05.19-AM-614x480.png 614w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can see the bullish falling wedge pattern that formed in late 2015\/early 2016. While the price was falling, both the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary#macd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MACD momentum indicator<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary#rsi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Relative Strength Index (RSI)<\/a>\u00a0were rising. This sort of \u201cpositive divergence\u201d is an early warning sign of a potential change in trend. And it led to a significant rally in the price of coffee for most of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee is set up the same way today. The chart is forming the same sort of falling wedge pattern. And there\u2019s positive divergence on the MACD and RSI indicators.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, though, this is a weekly chart. The patterns tend to play out over the course of several months. So, I expect the price of coffee will be higher by summertime than where it is today.<\/p>\n<p>And, based on the look of the daily chart, that rally could begin soon.
