TECHNICALS

November Beans:   Major direction is sideways, but the report resulted in an outside day with a push down to new lows below $12.50.  Prices must stay above $12.50 in order to stabilize, but on another break visual trendline support is located at $12.45.  Resistance now moves down to $12.80.  Stronger corn price action may dictate that for the day $12.50 remains a key support level, but would not be surprised to see this market trending down towards $12.40 in time.  The 200-day moving average at $12.78 is now major resistance should we go there.

visual trendline support: $12.45/$12.48

resistance:  12.60/$12.65

possible range: $12.45-$12.65 

December Meal:  New trading range lows were noted here with a push to $328.00, double lows for now. The market has now moved very far away from this level which must prove it can hold.  The previous support from $338.00-$348.00 is now major resistance, but think we can rally back to test it.  Target low is $320.00-$325.00 on another break.

first support: $326.00-$328.00

resistance:  $331.00 to $332.00

possible range: much the same

December Soyoil:  Trading range is from 55c to 60c, and prices continue to pivot around 58c.  On further weakness, trendline support is located at 5750c, and if we go there think it holds for an eventual target trade of 60c.  

trendline support:  5750c

resistance:  5850c

possible range: much the same 

December Corn:  The chart is attempting to define a trading range now, which could be from $5.25 - $5.55, or a bit lower from $5.15-$5.45.  Look for prices to perhaps move sideways from this point, but the ability to trade back towards $5.40 after breaking hard to $5.27 is impressive.  

first support: $5.28/$5.32

resistance:  $5.39/$5.42

possible range: $5.35 - $5.42 or lower

December Wheat:  The chart has now reinforced support at the $7.00 level which is both where the 100 day moving average and trendline cross.  The new high for the move up is $7.39 1/2 and we settled near it, which implies we could see follow-through strength at the open.  Would look to probably work into a $7.00-$7.50 range again, a bit higher than before the report yesterday.

first support: $7.28/$7.32

resistance:  $7.38-$7.45

possible range: much the same or lower

DECEMBER CORN

Trading range, and post report the chart is not as bearish as it could be.   The market is walking back to see if $5.25 is the potential bottom of a $5.25 - $5.50 trading range.  The ADX is still weak at 14 which is indicative of a sideways range.  Pullbacks towards $5.25 down to $5.15 should hold in place.  The market would now have to break the bottom of the ascending triangle pictured below which is $5.28, but prices are actually moving up and away which is constructive.  Look for a larger trading range to develop, and think firmer corn could keep beans supported at the $12.40-$12.50 level.
