TECHNICALS
Nov Beans: Major direction is sideways from $8.55-$8.95. A new line of resistance has now formed from $8.92/$8.95, and one could be short against it for a possible pullback again towards $8.65. Any push through $8.95 now will trigger more buying activity given the new resistance forming.
first support: $8.72/$8.75
resistance: $8.91
possible range: much the same
Dec Meal: The chart is beginning to form a base of trade from $295.00-$300.00, with a contract low still in place at $291.50. Today's price action suggests we could correct oilshare a bit, which may keep meal afloat over $298.00. But any trade under $295.00 will trigger fund selling and a possible challenge of recent contract lows.
first support: $298.00/$299.00
resistance: $302.80/$303.00
possible range: much the same
Dec Ssoyoil: Major direction is higher and the chart broke-out to the upside when it traded over 2930c. Double highs are now located at 3018/3019c. Pullbacks will invite more buying activity given the strong price action. A good pullback that may hold suggests would be to trade back towards 2945c/2950c, where moving averages are located.
key lower support: 2945c/2950c
resistance: 3020c
possible range: much the same
Dec Corn: Prices are lower from higher and despite the sell-off we are not yet into deep oversold territory. Would look for the previous May 13 gap at $3.77 1/2 to be filled, as they usually attract prices and hold on a first go around. If we can stabilize trade, the next move is probably back into $3.88/$3.92, which now becomes resistance in what could be a possible $3.75-$4.00 trading range.
first support: $3.72/$3.75
resistance: $3.85
possible range: much the same
Dec Wheat: The market is lower from sideways, with the target low now in sight at $4.65. For the day, we are posting double lows at $4.72. Wheat is notorious for holding double lows, but if they are violated would look to go to $4.65 sooner rather than later.
first support: $4.71/$4.72
resistance: $4.85/$4.88
possible range: $4.71-$4.81 or higher
NOVEMBER BEANS
Trading range is from $8.55-$8.95. There are three highs that seem to be forming minor resistance, and we are under all three moving averages. Would look for the market to eventually test $8.65 once again, using $8.75 as a pivot point. For the morning could sell against the minor trendline with a close stop nearby.
