Corn

Technicals (July)
July corn futures reversed after failing against our resistance pocket from 471-474 3/4 (which we noted in the last two days as a spot to reduce long exposure). Prices have now retreated back near our pivot pocket from 456 1/2-460. If you reduced against resistance, this is a spot to consider getting that exposure back on. A break and close below this pocket would start to neutralize that thesis. The markets are finally coming to life which certainly makes the trading aspect more exciting! Let’s cross our fingers it sticks around for a while.

Bias: Bullish/Neutral

Resistance: 471-474 3/4***

Pivot: 456 1/2-460

Support: 448-451, 441 3/4-444 1/2*

Soybeans

Technicals (July)
In our last two morning reports we talked about reducing long exposure at our resistance pocket from 1252-1259. If you had done that, you may be looking at our pivot pocket from 1220-1225 to reinitiate that exposure. Keep in mind that we do have a WASDE report tomorrow which could impact prices and change technicals. With that said, we think the market will quickly move past this report and focus on other catalysts such as weather, crop development, geopolitics, etc. The ranges have expanded recently which should keep the tradable opportunities alive and well, especially during this time of year.

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Resistance: 1252-1259, 1305 1/4-1311 3/4*

Pivot: 1220-1225

Support: 1199 1/2-1204, 1182 1/4-1186 1/4

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.

All information, communications, publications, and reports, including this specific material, used and distributed by Blue Line Futures LLC shall be construed as, or is in the nature of, a Solicitation for entering into a futures transaction. Blue Line Futures LLC does not employ research analysts, or maintain a research department as defined in CFTC Regulation 1.71.

Seasonal Disclaimer

This message and its content is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and should not be shared with additional parties. Seasonal tendencies are a composite of some of the most consistent commodity futures seasonals that have occurred in the past several years. There are usually underlying, fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in similar directional manner during a certain calendar year even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the futures, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results. No representation is being made that any account has in the past, or will in the futures, achieve profits using these recommendations. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future.
