- In the latest prospective planting document, it was reported that acreage allocated for soybeans will increase by 7% this upcoming season. This means that soybean is fundamentally bullish. Analysis from previous reports show that there is an 80% correlation between an increase in acreage and an increase in prices 10-days post the release of the report. Additionally, there is a perfect correlation between an increase in acreage and an increase in prices 20-days post. Regardless of acreage changes, soybeans prices have gone up 7 times out of the last 10 years 20-days post of the release of the prospective planting report.
- It is anticipated that soybeans will drop to the next major support line before heading back up
- Entry price will be approximately 9.16
- There is also a Gartley pattern, with the D point @ 9.20, which is confluent with the support line
- First profit target will be at 10.260, however prices will likely go higher
- Note: The D point of the gartley can drawn by using a 78.6% retracement of the XA leg
