The Commodity Specialist view – This year’s recovery in Soybeans finally managed to exceed the 2009 high, but has found resistance from a Fibonacci level not much above. The chart is now in pullback mode, turning focus on likely supports.
- SOYBEANS – WEEKLY CONTINUATION CHART:
The 1291.25 Jun-09 high was eroded, but slightly higher 61.8% recovery level has proved to be an effective barrier so far, prompting a slip back.
On the continuation chart note potential support offered by the 1078.50 Dec-09 high. - SOYBEANS – DAILY CHART JAN-11:
The bull run finally came to a halt near the higher of our two Fibo projections at 1340, with 12-Nov producing a Key Reversal Day. This ties in with the 61.8% level on the Weekly chart and a pullback phase is not surprising now.
The 38.2% pullback level at 1176 now offers first support, often an effective level s/term, with the 1153.25 27-Sep high support not far beneath.
However, a potentially much stronger area lies at 1170/1160, 61.8% and the Dec-09 high (not much below the 1078.50 on the Weekly chart). We would look for a decent rebound around here, if tested.
