TECHNICALS
July Beans: Prices are congesting from $15.75 to $15.99, but most importantly is that the market is full supported on pullbacks and the weakness is temporary. The market bounced back to close at the top of the trading range. Formations taking prices higher are more friendly than bearish, and would expect to likely test $16.00. If we trade over, would look to go to $16.30 where crossing lines of resistance are. Look for pullbacks to own.
first support: $15.85/$15.88
resistance: $15.99/$16.05
possible range: much the same or higher
July Meal: Prices are now trending higher and settled over major resistance at $445.00. The close was towards the higher end of the range indicating that we see upside follow-through. Would look for prices to now rally towards $450.00 minimally as the break-out looks to be confirmed. Higher meal may support beans if they drive to new contract highs.
first support: $442.00/$443.00
resistance: $448.00/$449.00
possible range: much the same
July Soyoil: Prices are now congesting from 63c to 64c, but it may be just a matter of time before we rally again towards recent highs. The bottom of the trading range is from 6280c to 63c, and prices have closed higher at 6360c. Would look for a pullback towards 63c still as a buying opportunity as the overall contract highs still do not seem to be placed.
first support: 6325c
resistance: 6420c
possible range: much the same
July Corn: Prices pulled back to try to define the lower end of the trading range and has a successful test of $7.00 given the 20c higher close. Would look for pullbacks to continue to see support and the chart bull formation has not been dented. Would still look for a possible rally towards $7.50.
first support: $7.15/$7.18
resistance: $7.25/$7.30
possible range; much the same
July Wheat: Wide trading range now from $7.20-0$7.70, and when given the chance this is the market that breaks the most. Prices fell to the lowest point of price congestion and held, indicating that we could possibly trade back towards $7.50 again. The major direction is sideways, but would look for $7.20 to be solid support, and if short would think about covering or going long.
first support: $7.30/$7.33
resistance: $7.43/$7.45
possible range; much the same
JULY MEAL
The major direction has now turned sideways/higher from sideways, and the chart is building in support at the bottom. The vertical trade higher on Friday was indicative of a strong market where prices tend to find upside follow-through. The trade over $445.00 was through the major resistance line in blue at the top of the chart. This increases the chance of upside follow-through towards $450.00 to $455.00. The overall trading range now moves up to $420.00 to $455.00 or higher, and trendline support for the day is $440.00 would we go there.
