corn might ended 1500 days of downtrend from 2012. it can be hugcorn might ended 1500 days of downtrend from 2012. it can be hug
Still in middle of neutral range, but...... we must watch it closely, as Wheat price action may lift other major agri products as well.
Weekly:
- Neutral Ichimoku, with minor bullish indication (see forward Kumo, and medium bullish Tenkan/Kijun setup in the spot cloud)
- Neutral/minor bearish Heikin-Ashi. Bit confusing, as price is exactly in the middle of the long term sideaway range, right at Kijun and 100WMA
- EWO has bullish bias
- MACD: neutral, consolidation
Daily:
- Ichimoku is neutral
- Heikin-Ashi gives possible buy signal t trendline support
- The real key level is 380-385. Should Corn close above, that would be a start of a major bullish tren
