CBoT soybeans unchanged shortSoybeans:
Price kept us waiting for a bit but made a decisive move to the downside after all during last week with especially a serious crack down of some 3% during Thursday's session and a break of the 962.50 immediate previous low during Friday's session. We have no reason to change anything in our projections or expectations and we only refined the targeted area a bit.
Cbot
CBoT wheat neutralWheat:
We have rolled over to the DEC16 contract.
Price action is not really giving away a lot and has been puzzling us more than one time during the past months. The descending wedge that we see in this chart usually is a reversal pattern from where price aggressively trades up but the break out of the upper line of same wedge was't really impulsive.
We are going to lean back and take a 'wait & see' attitude on this chart for one or two weeks.
CBoT corn long playCorn:
Price action did confirm that the bottom is in the market and price moved up some 3% during the week. We call it a bull bias from here but would like to see an impulsive move up during the coming week to secure the move up more solidly. A draw back could still occur but is not in our favourite scenario.
CBoT beanoil stopped out and now neutralBeanoil:
Price posted a solid gain of over 6% during the first 3 days of the week after which 2 'Hanging Man' candles were formed. This could be a sign the end of the rally is imminent but same needs confirmation. We have been calling for lower levels and with a rise of over 11% the contrary happening during the past 2 weeks. Stops were hit and it is time for us to step back and reconsider what is actually happening here.
CBoT soyameal remains a short playSoyameal:
Price has been moving sideways more than anything else during the past week and reversed on Tuesday after an initial and minor swing up. Thus far price is following our preferred path reasonably well and we keep our target on lower levels and have even trailed down same target to the 285/275 level after which we expect even lower levels from there. No changes in our expectations except a further trailed target than before.
CBoT soybeans remains a bear bias with short playSoybeans:
The price is not following our preferred path and we have removed our bear-flag-pattern from the chart. Still, the EW count suggests another round of selling to the 900/880 level from here and as long as our resistance levels remain intact we keep our bear bias unchanged. Thursday's session created a classic 'Hanging Man' which is a reliable indication that the end of the move up is eminent but needs confirmation. Same confirmation came during Friday's session when the market posted a red candle. We expect a lower opening for Monday and follow through during the coming week.
CBoT beanoil remains a short playBeanoil:
Price has traded up further than our liking and than what we were expecting. The overall picture remains a bear biased scenario for us with a possible further swing up to 33.50 now which is a 61.8% Fibonacci retrace level. We expect decline of price but with keeping the Fibonacci resistance level in mine and we expect accelerated volatility of the down move after the support level of 31.65 has been broken. We keep the picture and our chart unchanged for now.
CBoT corn is a long playUpdate for CORN Z16:
During last weekend we were not certain yet on the bottom in the market for this price and we would have liked to see one more swing to the downside. In meantime, however, we identify the candle of last Friday as a 'hammer' that has been confirmed by yesterday's firmer candle. We are looking to the upside from here and call a tradable bottom in the market. There could still come a pull-back of price but as long as price keeps trading above the 320/317 level we keep our view to the upside. If and when price breaks that level we will have to go back to our drawing board and abandon our bull bias.
CBoT wheat still waiting for the short play entry opportunityWheat:
Price has not made to corrective move up during last week as per anticipation but rather kept moving sideways with a rather volatile session last Friday.
We keep our views unchanged but have to accept that the timing will be later than what we were initially expecting. Consequently we have moved the preferred path in time. We are waiting for the move to the 345/355 level to see whether we can call for a tradable top there and we expect same (again) to appear during the coming week.
CBoT corn still no green light for a long playCorn:
Price basically has been moving sideways during the past 9 sessions although it made a fierce spike to the downside during yesterday's sessions after which price recovered back to its level of apparent comfort of the past 2 weeks. We are anticipating a solid bottom for price and have done so for some weeks now but we currently still feel uncertain to call for same bottom. We want to have one more week of 'wait-and-see' attitude on this one after which we will try to establish a renewed judgement. It could be that we will have to conclude and call for a bottom during the coming trading week in which case we will come with an update.
CBoT soyameal worth a short playSoyameal:
The pattern and chart of this price shows quite some resemblance to that of the soybeans price with a far from perfect 'bear-flag-pattern' and a still preferred part to the downside. We keep our focus unchanged to the downside and have trailed our critical resistance level down to the 350/355 zone where. if broken to the upside, we will reconsider our bias. We could see a possible swing up from here during the coming week but our target remains unchanged 290/300 which is some 10% lower than current values.
CBoT soybeans worth a short from hereSoybeans:
Price is following our preferred path only reluctantly and the earlier drawn 'bear-flag-pattern' is far from perfect. Still, we keep our eyes to the downside for this price and we have even trailed our target a bit down to the 870/850 zone which is some 10% below the current value. We should allow price to trade a bit up from here to the 1020/1025 zone where it would trade into a resistance area and an overshoot to the 1030/1035 will be tolerated as well. If price would break latter level to the upside we would have to return to our drawing boards and reconsider our bias.
#Corn #cbot: Predictive/Forecasting Model Eyes 202'6 #fibonacciFriends,
A rare coverage of the ag-commodity, but here it is - Corn (P) expected to remain under bearish strain, with a confluence of background technical tools pointing down towards the 244'4 to 202'6 range, against a foreground Predictive/Forecasting Model eyeing bearish targets as low as 202'6.
TECHNICAL TOOLS: Fibonacci, Shark and 5-0 Patterns
An overlay of Fibonacci matrices in Roman numbers with contraction and extension values is shown below:
Fib-I = 0.886 points to a Scott Carney's Shark targe, as follows:
Note that the Shark pattern originates at Point-zero and completes at Point-C, being the acolyte precursor of the 5-0 pattern (see below).
Note also that Point-C of the Shark is Fibonacci-dependent upon TWO values, 0.886 as in the case of this posted chart, but also 1.131, where this tiny extension is often encountered as the inscribed pattern in the same price field, as follows:
Note also, as mentioned above, that the acolyte of the Scott Carney's Shark pattern is the 5-0 patten, which is a reactionary conclusion of the Shark, typically retracing fifty percent of the Shark's last swing, hence the five-zero, or simply 5-0 pattern, as follows:
CBoT wheat Wheat:
Price has performed a 'Bullish Engulfing' last week which usually is a reliable reversal pattern although it need reconfirmation. Price also settled above the short term resistance level last Friday which gives the BE more credibility. We expect price to make a swing up from here to the 450/460 zone where we expect price to reverse for a 15% move to the downside and which would actually offer a short play opportunity.
CBoT corn long play around the cornerCorn:
Price is following our preferred path rather well and the decline is now very major. The reversal is imminent. It could be that the bottom has been on the chart last week at 329 but a bit of overshoot to the 320 level is possible as well. We stay tuned for a long play entry which will probably be offered to us during the coming week or week ahead and with a 30% rally towards the end of the year.
CBoT beanoilBeanoil:
Nothing new from this chart this week. Price traded to mildly higher levels during the past week and has reached its support level within the descending price channel. There could be a bit of overshoot to the upside from here but we expect price to reverse resume the downtrend during the coming week.
CBoT soyamealSoyameal:
Nothing much new on this chart and price is following the preferred path of our bear-flag pattern reasonably well. We anticipate further decline from here although price could make a furthers wing up for a couple of days. We will start reconsidering our bear bias if and when the 370/375 level would be broken to the upside but until then we keep our views to the downside.
CBoT wheat long play but with greatest cautionWheat:
Price made a lower low but close higher than the previous 2 sessions which makes 'double key reversal' which is a very reliable reversal pattern.
We are expecting higher levels from here but are not too enthusiastic about the upside potential right now.
CBoT corn long playCorn:
Price indeed traded further down which has caused a massive drawdown on longs that were take at the buy-stop level. Price drew a very long bottom tail on the chart for Friday's candle with a (less than perfect) 'hammer' as result.
Longs that have been stopped out now have a renewed opportunity to try one more long play but need to put stops tight as we want to see the reversal to happen during the first 2 or 3 sessions of the week.
CBoT soyameal long ply with tight stopSoyameal:
Price has arrive at our target ahead of time and drew a beauty of a 'hammer' on the chart. A 'hammer' is a very reliable bode that the end of the downmove is imminent but it needs confirmation. We need this price to reverse here and now as per our earlier set scenario and we feel safe with a long play at the opening tonight although a tight stop is required. There is a 25/35% upswing potential in this chart. However, we need to see the reversal on Monday/Tuesday and need to stop out a a lower low.
CBoT Soybeans long play opportunity with a tight stopSoybeans:
Price made a strong move to the downside of some 2.5% after which it revered leaving a relatively long bottom tail for the daily candle. Price reached our target a bit earlier than we would have expected which is not a problem as such but the structure of the latest move is a problem.
Thus far we stick too our earlier casus in which we see price make a 20/30% swing up from here but we want to see the price reversal already during Monday/Tuesday failing which we will probably have to reconsider our bull ride bias. A long play opportunity is there at the opening but with tight stop.
CBoT beanoil maintain shortBeanoil:
Price has been moving sideways longer that we would have thought and liked which made us think that we might have to get back to the drawing board. Last Friday's session gave a very strong move to the downside with a higher high but a lower close that the 2 previous sessions which makes it a 'double key reversal' which is a very powerful reversal pattern. We keep our bear bias unchanged.
