Soybean futures are higher in the early morning trade while corn and wheat continue to drift lower following last week’s bearish USDA report

Corn
Technicals (December)
December corn futures continue to drift lower, trading to multi-year lows following last week’s WASDE report which was uniformly bearish. With that said, the fact that the market wasn’t 20 cents lower on Thursday was impressive. Support from 460-464 1/2 remains intact but is being tested. A failure to defend this pocket could accelerate the selling pressure with the next support pocket coming in from 442-450.
Bias: Neutral/Bearish
Resistance: 484-486***, 499-502 1/2****
Pivot: 472-476
Support: 460-464 1/2**, 442-450***

Soybeans
Technicals (January)
January soybeans rejected trendline resistance last week which brought prices back near our 4-star support pocket, 1332-1342. We continue to like the upside potential in soybeans so long as the Bulls can continue to defend that significant support pocket. A close back above our pivot pcoket from 1360-1370 opens the door for a retest of the recent highs and potentially more.
Bias: Neutral/Bullish
Resistance: 1383-1390***, 1400**
Pivot: 1360-1370
Support: 1332-1342****, 1322 3/4***, 1299 3/4-1303****

Wheat
Technicals (December)
December Chicago wheat futures continue to drift lower to start a new week of trade but so far, our pivot pocket from 568 1/2-570 remains intact. The Bulls will want to defend this through today’s trade, a failure to do so could keep the pressure on. Upside resistance comes in from 582-585.
Bias: Neutral/Bullish
Resistance: 582-585***, 601 3/4-604 1/2***
Pivot: 568 1/2–570
Support: 540-547 1/2***
