Type: Bearish Continuation
Resistance: 673.75
Pivot: 632.00
Support: 586.00
Preferred case: Looking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for ZC1! is bearish due to the current price below the Ichimoku cloud , indicating a bearish market. If this bearish momentum continues, expect price to head towards the pivot at 586.00 where the 50% Fibonacci line is located.

Fundamentals: There are no major news.

Wheat: Rough ride since March...Now what???Wheat has had a rough ride since the historic highs reached in March, and now is at levels that will test a "swing support" zone that has held several times in the past year.
In summarizing this past week's wheat action, Total Farm Marketing noted (www.totalfarmmarketing.com)
Wheat Prices Lower for the Week
December CBOT wheat futures shed 10-1/2 cents this week to close at 803-1/4
December KCBOT wheat futures shed 9-1/4 cents this week to close at 934-1/4
December MGEX wheat futures added 5-3/4 cents this week to close at 951-1/2
Informa raised its estimate for the 2023 World wheat crop my 4.5 million tons on higher production in China and India
Wheat export sales were only 5.7 million bushels last week which is the second smallest weekly total for that date since 1996
Managed money is currently holding its largest net-short position in 3 years
US winter wheat conditions improved somewhat after last week’s rains, but the Plains are still in an extreme drought and will need higher than normal winter precipitation to replenish soil moisture before crops come out of dormancy in the spring
Given the mostly negative news, the price action is understandable. But from here, what's the play?
Carley Garner from DeCarley Trading tweeted the following idea (and shared with her clients): madmimi.com
The link will take you to Carley's specific trade idea which...spoiler alert....plays on Wheat holding support and bouncing from here at some point.
I think her trade idea is well constructed and founded on sound reasoning. I actually initiated a small position in the call spread (without selling the otm put).
As always, my positioning and my article is NOT meant to be advice in any way! But it's good food for thought and discussion. Eager to hear reactions/thoughts.
HogsHogs - Weekly Continuous: The gray vertical bars represent the expiration month of labeled contract and have prices of each contract as of today labeled. The deferred contracts can use the uptrend/downtrend lines to determine areas to be hedged. The June 21' high has provided a pivot for a down trend line that has acted as a strong area of resistance. Currently the May and June Contracts are near that downtrend line and could warrant some Price protection. Above look at the Red Uptrend line
January Soybeans - DailyJanuary23 Soybeans – Daily: Back to a daily chart with a few weeks remaining on the Jan contract and trying to narrow the focus for end of year contract activity. The break above the black downtrend line was short lived, Thursday’s close found support at the red Tenkan line. Monday & Tuesday need to come out strong and sustain price above the cloud at 14.42 and more importantly the blue Kijun/black downtrend line currently at 14.47. Support below at 14.05 and a break below the cloud and uptrend line has end of contract risk at 13.45-13.30 area…
Soybeans Weekly ContinuousSoybean – Weekly Cont: The cloud above offers tough resistance at last week’s high of 14.77. A weekly close into the cloud above 14.77, the red Tenkan line will be the next strong resistance at 15.36 (also a 50% retracement target). Support below is the blue Tenkan line at 14.14 and then an uptrend line climbing from 14.00. A failure below could have beans targeting the 12.88 swing low area.
Corn Weekly ContinuousContinuous Corn – Weekly: The charts above are the same, but using different indicators. Both Charts are showing a break of major support this week. A break below the blue uptrending pitchfork on the left and a weekly close below the cloud on the right are both telling us that an important area of support has been broken. Support is in the lower 6.00 area and further risk is from 5.50 to 4.50 depending on length in time… A sustained move above 6.62 is needed to keep the bull trend going or at least trade sideways. Resistance above would be at 6.81, and bullish enthusaiam regained above the upper red pitchfork in the 7.20 area…
Wheat Futures Ready to Pop Again. Same Signal to Start 2020 BoomCOT Data is signaling that Wheat Futures ( CBOT:ZW1! ) are ready to pop after a few months of declines and chop
As it currently stands, this is the shortest the Large Speculators have been on Wheat since 2020 where it bottomed at 589'4 to rally all the way as high as 1422'0. By no means do I expect a similar rally to ensure, but this does illustrate how oversold the large speculators are and what the consequences of that can be.
I'm looking for a technical long reversal entry on the daily chart to enter the trade and then use sound risk management thereafter
Notes on My Trading Methodology and What I'm Even Talking About
COT Definitions:
- COT: Commitments of Traders Reports - A weekly report published by the government (CFTC) that shows long and short positions of the below 3 groups (As well as much more data I don't look at). We look at the NET positions of these 3 groups and compare them to historical levels to signal trade opportunities
1- Commercials: Hedgers - We want to trade with them when they're at extreme levels (Think Tyson, Cargill, General Mills, etc)
2- Large Speculators: Hedge funds and large institutions - We want to fade them when they are at max positions (Think suits in NYC and commodity funds)
3- Small Speculators: People/institutions trading small lot sizes not big enough to report to CFTC - We want to fade their max positions as well since they represent the public (Think dude in his PJs trading and small trading firms)
Indicators on Chart:
- The first indicator shows the net positions of the 3 groups above plotted over time
- The second indicator is an index of the relative buying/selling of commercials over a certain lookback period. Anything above 95 is looking for buy, look to sell when it hits 0
- Note: Just because the Commercial's net position is negative doesn't mean it can't be relatively net long and signal a buy (same in the opposite scenario)
Trade Setup - Both Must Happen:
- When commercials are at max levels we are alerted to buy or sell (Depending on the criteria above)
- On a daily chart, use technical indicators, candlestick patterns, news, etc to enter the trade (not shown here)
- Added bonus when the trend is your friend (I use a Multiple Moving Averages indicator to visualize)
Financial Wave. WheatWheat.
The price of WHEAT dropped to $760. We marked this level as a point of cancellation of our priority scenario, in case the price continues to fall, most likely wheat will continue to decline to $600. We’ll inform you about the changes in our wave counting in the near future, at the moment we stick to our view: this is the growth of WHEAT to new highs, but we do not exclude that it will have to be corrected.
