Corn

Technicals (December)

December corn futures have traded on both sides of unchanged through the overnight and early morning trade as the market attempts to stabilize against our 4-star support pocket, which we've had outlined as 497-502.  This is a good risk/reward setup for the Bulls to take a swing, but it's a MUST HOLD pocket.  A failure to defend this pocket could open the door for a retest of the July lows near 481. 

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Previous Session Bias: Neutral

Resistance:  540 1/2-545***, 554-556***

Pivot: 518-525 3/4 

Support: 497-502****, 480-482***

Soybeans 

Technicals (November)

Soybeans broke lower yesterday but are managing to grind back into our pivot pocket in the early morning trade, 1324-1332 3/4.  A failure to reclaim ground above this pocket could keep the door open for continued pressure with the next objective for the Bears being our 4-star support pocket from 1291-1300.  We are in the camp that the market can stabilize here, but today's close will be key to whether that bias holds or not. 

Bias: Neutral/Bullish

Previous Session Bias: Neutral

Resistance: 1350-1355**, 1368-1378***, 1390-1400***

Pivot: 1324-1332 3/4 

Support: 1291-1300****

Wheat

Technicals (September)

Wheat futures have traded lower for 6 consecutive sessions but are attempting to put that losing streak to an end in the early morning trade with the market finding support a penny above our 4-star support pocket.  We are moving our bias into Bullish territory as we feel this pocket represents a good risk/reward setup to the buy-side.  A break and close below would neutralize our bullish bias. 

Bias: Bullish/Neutral

Previous Session Bias: Neutral

Resistance:  693 1/2-698 3/4***, 744-745***

Pivot:  677-680

Support:   622-632****
