Grain Express Research Posts

Grain futures are weaker this morning, will this set up for a buy-the-dip opportunity?

Corn

Technicals (March)

Market corn futures broke lower yesterday which has led to some follow-through pressure in the overnight trade, taking prices back to levels not seen since the last trading day of November.  Our bias remains in Bearish territory, but we may be looking to flip that to Bullish territory if the November lows can hold, 470-473.  This would be a good risk/reward area to keep an eye on. 

Bias: Bearish/Neutral

Resistance:  493-496 1/2****, 502 1/2-505***

Pivot: 481-484 

Support: 470-473****, 460-464 1/2**

Seasonal Tendencies

Below is a look at historical seasonal averages for March corn futures (updated each Monday) VS today’s prices (black line).

Soybeans

Technicals (January)

January soybeans traded out above our pivot pocket which helped propel prices up near resistance.  However, yesterday’s strength has fallen flat in the overnight trade with prices erasing gains and retreating back into our pivot pocket from 1323-1327.  A failure to defend this pocket could open the door to an acceleration of selling with little support until the technically and psychologically significant $13.00 area. 

Bias: Neutral/Bearish

Resistance: 1346-1352***, 1360-1362**

Pivot: 1323-1327 

Support: 1294 1/2-1300****, 1267-1272***

Wheat

Technicals (March)

March Chicago wheat futures attempted to rally to start the week but failed to take out Friday’s highs with any conviction, which likely led to some profit taking from recent longs as we head into the holidays.  Our pivot pocket is the first downside target this morning, that comes in from 608-611.  A break below that and there is some air underneath the market. 

Bias: Neutral/Bearish

Resistance: 622-631***, 645-650*** 

Pivot: 608 1/2-611 

Support: 591 1/2-595***

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
