This Frozen Orange Juice May Not Be Worth the Squeeze as Prices Fall

November 13, 2025 at 09:41 AM EST

January orange juice (OJF26) futures present a selling opportunity on more price weakness.

See on the daily bar chart for January frozen concentrated orange juice futures (FCOJ) that prices are trending lower and this week hit a multi-month low. The bears have the firm near-term technical advantage. That means the path of least resistance for prices remains sideways to lower.

Fundamentally, FCOJ futures prices are declining amid good production outlooks in countries like Brazil and on weakening U.S. consumer demand. The natural high sugar level in orange juice has many consumers switching to alternative, healthier fruit drinks.

A move in FCOJ futures below chart support at $1.6750 would give the bears more power and it would also become a selling opportunity. The downside price objective would be $1.0000 or below. Technical resistance, for which to place a protective buy stop just above, is located at $2.0000.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature.

Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%):

Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.
