2. Signal Status Determination
The current situation is a clear signal of decline.
3. Conclusion on Trend Directions
The short-term price trend for DOP is clearly downward.
Reason: The changes in the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day averages compared to the previous day are all negative, indicating a consistent downward trend that meets the criteria for a clear decline according to the average difference method. Additionally, over the past 7 days, the quotations from major DOP manufacturers in China have generally decreased by 150-400 CNY per ton, and the spot transaction prices have continued to fall, further supporting the judgment of a downward trend.
4. Position Space Reference
The current DOP 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycle prices are all in the 5th tier (high price range) of the 5-tier division, with limited room for further increases. Given the clear downward trend, there is still some potential for further price declines.
