December Corn 4-star support was tested and held yesterday, keeping it intact from 439-442. We define 4-star levels as the most significant and most defined pockets. If you had been Bearish/Short, this would be a spot to reduce or hedge upside. If you're Bullish, this is a well defined place to look for long exposure or adding to it. A retest of this pocket is not what the Bulls want to see, the more times a significant level is tested, the weaker it becomes. The first hurdle today comes in from 449 3/4-452 1/2. Above here and there could be some runway for this relief rally. A retest of last week's breakdown point seems like a mile away, but it wouldn't be far fetched to see that revisited. That comes in from 465 1/2-468 1/2. Technical Levels of Importance (December futures)
November Soybeans November soybean futures are trying to cling to old support, now our pivot pocket, 1134 3/4-1140. The Bulls need to see a strong close above this pocket to spur additional upward momentum. The next upside objective isn't far away from 1147 1/4-1151 1/2. We talked about the breakdown points for corn being an area of interest if the Bulls can catch relief, for beans that breakdown point comes in from 1165 1/2-1169 1/2. Maybe new crop beans can hold it together, but on the old crop, we'd be looking at rallies back to breakdown points as opportunity to take a bearish stance. If you read the tea-leaves, that means we wouldn't be surprised to see it bounce from here, but it also means we are not interested (at the moment) in expressing that opinion in the market via a Bullish stance.

December Chicago Wheat Technicals (December)December Chicago wheat tested and held the 200-day moving average, nearly to a T in yesterday's trade. The velocity of the selling had slowed in the past three sessions which has helped offer minor relief in the early morning trade. If the Bulls can move out above recent highs 619 1/4-623, it could open the door for more relief with the next objective coming in from 630-631 1/2. Above that and there could be 25-30 cents more relief. Technical Levels of Importance

Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer 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 which 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 which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
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.
