Chart analysis
On the daily timeframe, Cotton: D1 went up from the downtrend. A number of technical analysis indicators formed signals for further growth. We do not rule out a bullish movement if Cotton rises above the last high: 84. This level can be used as an entry point. We can place a stop loss below the Parabolic signal, the last lower fractal and the 200-day moving average line: 76.5. After opening a pending order, we can move the stop loss to the next fractal low following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we change the potential profit/loss ratio in our favor. After the transaction, the most risk-averse traders can switch to the four-hour chart and set a stop-loss, moving it in the direction of the trend. If the price meets the stop loss (76.5) without activating the order (84), it is recommended to delete the order: the market sustains internal changes that were have not been taken into account.
