Wheat Futures - ZW - Like Snakes in a CanSnakes in a can is not a great metaphor for food. Nonetheless, that's the pattern that seems to be developing on wheat futures.
All know that the world's food crops are not in good shape. Massive drought tends to kill plants, which ruins harvests, which causes some obvious downside effects in economies.
Each year in recent years, we're running out of supply until the next year's harvest arrives, which replenishes the silos, which means that you won't really feel the pain of a bad harvest until the following year.
Yay for 2022, not so yay for 2023. 2024 is a dark horizon.
On the monthly chart, Wheat ZW swept out the long-term 2008 high in March on the back of the Russian Federation invading Ukraine:
It only swept the high, however, and has since corrected, hard. It's specifically notable that despite the massive dump, wheat did not take out the January pivot in either July, or in August's very gentle stop raid.
In fact, wheat has spent the better part of two months ranging in this accumulation area, which is bad news for bears and good news for bulls.
It's also notable that corn has already had a significant breakout that took out a previous month's high:
Corn Futures ZC1 - Spooling Like a Turbo
(Too bad I had my compass on backwards for that one and picked that it would go down before it would go up, when it just went up in a straight line. But hey, at least I drew my box in the right place -_-)
Contracts of similar category tend to move in the same direction, but at different times, of each other.
To be frank, I believe that this means wheat is all but guaranteed to set all new highs. However, it's a question of when. In reality, price is the easy part and time is the hard part.
When it comes to "when," at least right now, you can tell from the pattern post-stop raid that we're ready to go somewhere, and that somewhere is probably up.
In terms of between now and the end of September, I think that the most realistic targets are July's equal highs at ~845 and July's monthly high at ~940.
I believe that a major commodities supercycle lies ahead. Something that will really be fun to trade but painful for reality. But I also believe that a big shakeout is imminent before we go there. For wheat, based on how its traded, this may mean it provides something of a shelter or a safe haven, running bull while many other things correct and dump.
As the world gets crazy, keep in mind that no matter how the media and the government howls its narrative, the human race is still ultimately on a planet that orbits a sun and is positioned inside of a very, very, very immense Universe.
The more immense the Universe, the less possible it is that we are either the only lives that exist or the highest lives that exist. That is how statistics and probabilities works.
And I am not talking about such and such idea of aliens. I am talking about the idea of "Gods," which I do not regard as limited to the Marxist-smeared religious dogma of a giant old white man wearing a robe in the sky judging you when you swear or drink.
Instead, to speak of Gods is to simply have a rational understanding about the structure of the Cosmos, its multitudinous dimensions, and those higher lives with power that occupy those dimensions and oversee this human stage during the end of a Cosmic Era.
What I am getting at with the above, is that no matter how "chaotic" things get, the chaos is actually a manifest form of order. Things are happening for a reason, are planned both above and below in advance, and no matter how the Earth capsizes and the Sky falls, the tribulation provides an opportunity.
The Divine is ultimately in control of where we are headed, and for good people, there is hope.
So make sure you maintain your kindness, your conscience, your sense of justice, and your rationality. Do your best, and don't lose heart.
In history, humanity's catastrophes, such as famines, have always had a target, and the target has almost never been people who are virtuous and are walking on the traditional path.
SOY Sunopta Im just playing w layers for this chart. Im utilizing the pitchfan to focus on the channel within the linear regression I set up. I use this to set up for finding supports when it breaks. I have integrated a Fib Spiral to maintain the trade and to find the top resistance ranges on the run up. If you hover on the chart you will see additional patterns that I use to correlate exits when this fails
Soybeans Under Pressure Soybeans
Technicals: Soybeans broke lower yesterday, trading right into our 3-star support pocket, 1673-1679 ½. The Bulls have been unable to defend that pocket in the overnight/early morning trade which could take us to our next and more significant support pocket, 1644 ¾-1650. This pocket represents previously important price points and the 100-day moving average. Previous support will now act as our pivot pocket that the Bulls want to get back out above to neutralize the technical damage, that is the pocket mentioned earlier, 1673-1679 ½.

Technicals: Soybeans are sharply lower to start the week, trading right near the 50-day oving average at the morning intermission, 1680 ¾. The market was lower than this earlier in morning, testing and holding our 3-stary support pocket, 1673-1679 ½. If the Bulls fail to defend this pocket on a closing basis, the 100-day moving average cannot be ruled out. That comes in at 1644 ¾.

Will Soybeans Stall Out Against Technical Resistance? Soybeans
Fundamentals: This morning’s weekly export sales report showed net sales of 317,200 MT for 2021/2022 were down 26 percent from the previous week and 16 percent from the prior 4-week average. Net sales of 407,600 MT were reported for 2022/2023.
Technicals: Soybeans are firm in the early morning trade, retracing the losses from the previous two sessions. Previous support is now resistance, the significant pocket comes in from 1720-1728. A breakout and close back above here could spark a run higher with new contract highs on the table. From the risk/reward perspective, this wouldn’t be a bad pocket for hedgers to consider selling.

Soybeans Struggle to Hold Support Soybeans
Technicals: July soybean futures broke and close below trendline support yesterday which opened the door for additional weakness in the overnight session. Futures have recovered some and trading near unchanged. Previous support is now resistance, we see that first hurdle coming in near 1710. On the support side of things, the 50-day moving average and low end of the range come in near 1675. If that support gives way, we could see the selling accelerate.

Daily Soybean Market Update (6.14.22)Soybeans
Fundamentals: Yesterday's weekly crop progress report showed the U.S. soybean crop is 88% planted, 70% emerged, and a Good/Excellent rating of 70%. There were no major surprises here. Yesterday's weekly export inspections report came in at 605,129 metric tons, well above the 365,455 last week and 141,320 we saw in the same week last year.
Technicals: Soybean futures broke through support from 1720-1728, this will now act as resistance. A close back above here opens the door for a potential run back at the contract highs and above. There is some trendline support from May 17th-June 7th that is holding well over the past 24 hours. A break and close below here could spark a drop back below $17.00.

Soybeans Under Pressure to Start the WeekFundamentals: Soybeans are under pressure to start the week, along with many other commodities and markets as last week's outside market turmoil has poured into this week's trade. This afternoon's Crop Progress report is expected to show the U.S. soybean crop near 90% planted. Good/Excellent conditions are expected to come in near 70%. Last year at this time the crop was rated 62% G/E.
Commitments of Traders Update: Friday’s CoT report showed Managed Money were net sellers of 6,505 futures/options contracts, through June 7th. This shrinks their net long position to 153,654. Broken down, that is 168,458 longs VS 14,804 shorts.
Technicals (July): July soybeans were weaker to round out the week, which gave back just a portion of the sharp rally that we saw on Thursday. 1750 is our pivot pocket, a close above or below here could set the tone for the next 25 cent move. On the resistance side, 1775-1784 is the objective for Bulls. A breakout above there puts the market back in uncharted territory which makes in extremely difficult to find high conviction resistance levels. $16.00 would be the next psychological barrier. On the support side of things, 1720-1728 is the pocket the Bulls want to defend. This pocket was previously resistance and will now act as support. If that gives way, it could spark long liquidation back below $17.00.
