The November soybean market has been on a nice uptrend since the lows from August 8th, and we are seeing some selling coming after we topped out near 1409-5. Looking on the fundamental side, there is concerns for the continued hot and dry weather headed into next week which would support higher process, and the Mississippi water levels continue to decline, having a strong impact on basis.
Seasonally speaking, this is the time of the year where the market attempts to create a new low in the near term, but we are currently trading significantly higher than what we typically see for this time of year.
On the technical side, even though we have seen some selling throughout this week, we are still holding out above some strong levels, where old resistance is acting as support. If the beans continue to sell off on the November contract, there is support near 1367-7 where bulls would need to defend to continue the prices moving higher in the uptrend.
There is also strong trendline support from the May lows, and a break and a close below that level would flip the bias from an uptrend to more neutral or bearish. The average true range (ATR) on this contract is near 25 cents, and so if the market continues lower, we will could see these levels tested in the next few trading days.
