Grain markets are firm in the overnight and early morning trade, will the strength continue through the day?

Corn
Technicals (March)
March corn futures dipped lower in yesterday’s trade but were able to narrowly hang on to our pivot pocket at the close which we’ve had outlined as 481-483. If the Bulls can continue to defend this pocket potentially, we see the market grind back near resistance in the mid 490’s. That would start to depict an inverse head and shoulders pattern which would be bullish. However, a failure to defend the pivot pocket opens the door for a retest of the recent lows. Needless to say, this week’s price action could be pretty crucial for the rest of the month’s price action.
Bias: Neutral/Bearish
Resistance: 493-496 1/2****, 502 1/2-505***
Pivot: 481-484
Support: 470-473****, 460-464 1/2**

Soybeans
Technicals (January)
Soybeans were able to chew through our pivot pocket from 1323-1327 in yesterday’s trade which opened the door for a run at our first resistance pocket, 1346-1352. Our short-term bias remains Neutral/Bearish this morning, aka cautiously bearish. If the Bulls can keep the momentum today and we close above resistance, that would be enough to neutralize that bias and potentially flip it back into Bullish territory.
Bias: Neutral/Bearish
Resistance: 1346-1352***, 1360-1362**
Pivot: 1323-1327
Support: 1294 1/2-1300****, 1267-1272***
