Are Soybeans Poised For a Run?Soybeans seem to defy all odds when it comes to rational and can often take things to the extreme, one side or another. This is very sweet when you are on the profitable side of this rational but equally as bitter when you are not.
During the beginning of May, I had a suspicion the market was very oversold and was due for a correction to the upside, but it seemed like the upside move would never come as the market continued to punish them. Finally, on 5/14 they came to life and gave me a good buy signal by busting the downward line of resistance. I estimated there was a 98% chance of a low and now had a move up to jump in on. It did prove to be a great one.
After clearing through $9.20 I foresee resistance around the $9.65. I believe the market will float around in between these two levels until 7/1. This will be after the Acreage report by the USDA which, many in the trade are anticipating will have fewer planted acres of soybeans than originally anticipated back in March. Also, the upward support line will start to squeeze the market into the $9.65 resistance level, I believe if the market does not move up through $9.65 prior to then it will have good technical reasons to then.
I am a bull on soybeans but will not add to my position now unless we retest the lows of $9.20. or break through $9.65.
In other words, I am sitting on my hands and remaining patient.

SoyBean Futures - Short IdeaI only started watching Soybeans because of poor fundamental news. Bumper crops, tariff issues. etc. (I don't trade futures often) I noticed an incredible run up...seeing a shooting star develop on the daily PLUS price is at significant levels, pivots, ema's etc. I am taking the short at the 61.8% Fib level. Lets see how this trade rolls out. 1% Risk, 2:1RR - Happy Trading!
Soybeans gonna skyrocketGrains were/are in quite strong downtrend, however bears are getting exhausted and ZS might be the top performing asset in grains. We are above huge support and bounce from that support was decent. COT report is extremely bullish + seasonality data are telling us, that price of soybeans should grow during the summer. I am only waiting for breaking the trendline and estabilishing higher high and I will close my long at 1050. Long term trade for several months.
Soy at the crossroadsThe soybeans are suffering, but why? To give an answer you must look for the fundamentals, and the main one, are due to the duties between CHINA and USA. Since the USA is the largest exporter in China and, as African swine fever is literally undermining the global stability of pork, the barns are destined to remain full. Even the report of the WASDE gave an optimistic estimate that was exceeded in the negative that, if it does not resolve the issue of duties, will remain long in the barns. Returning to the chart according to Elliott we are in the final zone for a correction, in fact the area of the 61.8 has many factors that intersect with one another and are: the maximum level of Z wave, max level for Wave Z, that of Wave B and a support which is perfect online with Wave 2, then there are the factors of A.T. and are: volumes with SMA facing upwards and volumes of buyers Rising and RSI in oversold. These are some of the factors that I consider. So, I'm expecting two medium scenarios, and the first one is: The price goes up in the next few days, or it goes down to 857'6/lb. and then back up. As from graph.

Soybeans ahead of a big move. Key levels and volatility to watchWeekly:
- Ichimoku is neutral with price located in cloud
- Kijun Sen acts as major key support at 890
- Upper key level is 938 (forward Senkou B line)
- Heikin-Ashi shows indecision with slight positive bias by haDelta+ and haOscillator
- EWO is positive
Daily:
- Ichimoku is neutral, but as Kumo cloud is very thin and the horizontal key levels are close to each other, we can easily see a breakout in any direction
- Heikin-Ashi shows indecision. Note: quantitative indicators are still holding above thei mid lines (minor positive)
- EWO is minimal bearish
- Support is 890-895. If it breaks and closes below 890, then Ichimoku setup turns bearish. On the top side we have 912-915 to fight with, but a textbook confirmed bullish breakout would need a higher high on close above 930.
Important note:
Both 14 days and 14 weeks (!) ATR is extremely low, which means we have a very supressed volatility. It won't last for very long. Maybe it is time to examine 880 / 930 straddle too.
