In addition, the last completed weekly bar (2026-09-28 to 2026-09-30) closed at CNY 2,333, down 1.14% on the week, providing weekly-level bottom support for this bullish call; the current price is in a repair phase after the weekly adjustment, with bullish momentum gradually being released.

III. Supply-Demand Balance & Fundamental Drivers
Warehouse warrant data were not mentioned in this dataset and are excluded from the analysis. On the macro side, the only relevant transmission to meal demand is: global agricultural demand remains stable, combined with support from China's livestock sector for protein raw materials; as a core protein feed ingredient, rapeseed meal demand shows some resilience. In addition, the oil-to-meal ratio in cross-asset relative value is within a reasonable range, with no significant deviation, indicating meal's relative value is not overvalued, providing fundamental support for the price advance.
IV. Positioning & Fund Flows

Total main-contract open interest was 624,090 lots, up 2,758 lots versus the prior day; combined with the main notional open interest daily change of +CNY 64m, this shows a clear pattern of active long open interest build, consistent with a rising-price-on-open-interest-build technical signal.

From a monthly dimension, October is a transitional phase as China's livestock demand gradually ramps up, combined with seasonal changes in South American soybean meal arrival timing; the seasonal probability of an upside move in rapeseed meal is significantly higher than that of a downside move, and the median change range has narrowed, indicating the price trend during this window is relatively stable, providing seasonal validation support for the current bullish core conclusion.
VII. Scenario Analysis
The scenario analysis is based on 2026-10-08 settlement data, with core assumptions consistent with the technical and supply-demand conclusions in the first half; the base-case direction is bullish, and the probabilities and trigger conditions of the three scenarios are as follows: 1. Base case (probability 65%): trigger condition is the rapeseed meal main continuous settlement holding above CNY 2,313.33 [2026-10-08 settlement]; corresponding action is to hold long positions, with the target price carried over from the first half at CNY 2,364.33 (pivot R1), and if broken, the next upside target is CNY 2,442 (20-day channel upper bound); 2. Bullish scenario (probability 20%): trigger condition is the night session price breaking above CNY 2,365 (2026-10-08 night session high); corresponding action is to add to long positions, with the target price moving up to CNY 2,442 (20-day channel upper bound); 3. Bearish scenario (probability 15%): trigger condition is the rapeseed meal main continuous settlement breaking below CNY 2,313.33 [2026-10-08 settlement]; corresponding action is to close all long positions, with the target price down at CNY 2,275 (20-day channel lower bound). The trigger conditions and target prices of the three scenarios strictly follow the key-level definitions in the first half, with no new independent support or resistance levels added, ensuring consistency and continuity of the analysis.
VIII. Trading Strategies & Risk Management
Trading strategies and risk management strictly cite the established strategies and risk-conversion rules, as follows: verbatim citation of the two established long plans: Plan 1: Long, entry 2355 / stop-loss 2305 / target 2430 / horizon 1-5d / risk-reward 1:1.5; Plan 2: Long, entry 2340 / stop-loss 2287.4 / target 2418.9 / horizon 1-5d / risk-reward 1:1.5. The basis for the stop-loss settings is: Plan 1's stop-loss distance of CNY 50 corresponds to 1.05x ATR (ATR14 is CNY 47.786), and Plan 2's stop-loss distance of CNY 52.6 corresponds to 1.1x ATR, both able to cover normal intraday volatility and avoid stop-outs from short-term noise; on position sizing, the single-trade risk budget for both plans is CNY 6,698, corresponding to a reference cap of 12 lots, and add/reduce rules must strictly follow risk-control requirements, with no discretionary adjustment of lot size or position scale; the horizon is set at 1-5 days to match the short-term trend's volatility cycle, ensuring the strategy's timeliness and effectiveness.
IX. This Week's Data Calendar
