CHARTS

Dec Corn 🌽

The corn chart looks the friendliest of the grains.

Short term, I think we could see us drop a little farther. $4.22 to $4.19 is our golden zone retracement from the recent rally.

This also coincides with the stochastic looking like they want to come down (next chart)

Something we need to watch out for is if this is a potential double top or not.

Ideally we would like to hold $4.19

My target to re-hedge or make sales for those that need it is still $4.39 to $4.46

This is where you can see the stochastic.

They are turning lower which often signals a decline in prices is coming. Short term of course.

Jan Soybeans 🌱

We dropped into the golden zone retracement of $10.11 to $10.02 that I mentioned Monday.

This is also volume support from here down to $9.90

So finding support or a bounce here would make sense from a technical standpoint.

Really can’t say we are down going down until we break that blue downtrend however.

I mentioned on Monday that the stochastic looked like it had topped out. Which often signals more downside.

It came down quiet a bit still has room to go a lot lower, so a little more downside here would also not surprise me.

Dec Chicago Wheat 🌾

Awful action in wheat.

We came right back into this downward channel.

We also broke that key $5.65 support.

There is really nothing stopping us from testing those old lows.

Would need a clean breakout from this channel to say maybe we are down going down.

Short term on the indicators it does look like we are possibly ready for a bounce (next chart)

The stochastics are almost bottomed out.

The RSI is reaching oversold territory.

Both of these point to perhaps a bounce sometime soon.

Dec KC Wheat 🌾

Same story as Chicago.

Nothing stopping us from those lows.

Need to bust out of this channel.
