Corn

Technicals (December)
December corn futures finally broke out of the range, and it was to the downside. Previous support from 399-403 will now act as a pivot pocket/Resistance. As far as support goes, we are in uncharted territory so that becomes a little more of a guessing game. Looking at the continuous chart you could make the case for the next downside target for the Bears being near 380.

Weekly Export Sales

Net sales of 167,900 MT (6,609,929 bushels) for 2023/2024–a marketing-year low–were down 49 percent from the previous week and 60 percent from the prior 4-week average. This was also below the low end of expectations which ranged from 275k-600k MT.
Net sales of 710,900 MT (27,986,888 bushels) for 2024/2025, this was near the top end of expectations.

  • Bias: Neutral
  • Resistance: 423-426, 430-434**
  • Pivot: 399-403**
  • Support: 380-385

Soybeans

Technicals (November)
Soybeans are trying to consolidate but the bearish trend remains firmly intact with the next downside target for Bears being near the psychologically significant $10.00 handle. On the flip side, the Bulls want to see a close back above our pivot pocket from 1025-1031 3/4 to help repair some of the damage that has been done.

Weekly Export Sales

Net sales of 376,400 MT (13,830,328 bushels) for 2023/2024 were up noticeably from the previous week and from the prior 4-week average. This was above the top end of expectations which ranged from 75k-300k MT.
Net sales of 632,100 MT (23,225,692 bushels) for 2024/2025, this was within the range of expectations which ranged from 300k-900k MT.

  • Bias: Neutral
  • Resistance: 1046-1050, 1061 1/2-1062 3/4
  • Pivot: 1025-1031 3/4
  • Support: 1015-1018*, 1000

Wheat

Technicals (September)
Wheat futures are Ping ponging around as they continue to search for a shot term low in the market. 525-530 is the pivot pocket the Bulls want to see consecutive closes back above to help turn the tide and make a run at resistance from 553 1/2-556 1/4.

Weekly Export Sales

Net sales of 286,600 MT (10,530,744 bushels) for 2024/2025 were down 7 percent from the previous week and 41 percent from the prior 4-week average. This was near the low end of expectations.

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.

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.
