Wheat

WHEAT - D/W/M - LONGWe already traded WHEAT weeks ago with some success, and I found this setup quite interesting. On daily we have another nice breakout, that could lead to another false breakout. But in this case we are narrowing down on the support and resistance so we should see some break in the following weeks. Taking into account macroeconomics, I'm betting more on the upside than downside for WHEAT. I added a mid-range TP that looks achievable this year. This is a long trade, so be prepared to keep this one forever. SL (if any) should be around 3.55. Trade with your own diligence. GL HF

Wheat looks set to break higherLooking at wheat zw1! across three charts (renko 10pt, 5pt, and 1pt), it looks like they have achieved some type of confluence and are staged to break higher. Entry setup would have been on the 1pt chart on the 27th with the second test of the 100EMA. However, I'm looking to enter long based on how market opens this coming week. Targets are 510 and 550 on the zw1! chart. Actual entry will be with the e-mini July Wheat. On TV, I track WHEATUSD for the real-time data feed.

Short Wheat ZW1!US Wheat (Chicago) hit the upper line of the triangle I draw in the weekly chart. This line - for now - hold and wheat did not move higher. Furthermore, volume did not really increased during the upmove of the last two to three days. This is even more striking in the weekly chart, where volume decreased in the last three weeks while wheat moved up. This is a strong signal for falling prices. On the fundamental side: The US Dollar Index broke out of its triangle and is about to move higher in the next couple of weeks. The Ruble devalued further against the US Dollar Index. Both are important reasons for falling US Wheat prices. But: Spring wheat seedings are behind - in the US and Russia (this is especially important for Russia). This might have a strong effect on Chicago Wheat. If Wheat moves above the upper triangle line / breaks out, then this is the reason. Therefore, a close stop should be put in place a little bit above the (blue) uppper triangle line. The next support line is at around 478.

Short WheatDue to a weaker Ruble, Wheat from Russia becomes more competetive which should be solved by a partial decline of US Wheat prices (and by a partial increase in Russia Wheat prices - higher demand for Russian Wheat). Furthermore, USDA does not expect a declining "Ending Stocks" for Wheat this season although US Weather around Kansas is still very unfavorable for Winter Wheat conditions. World Ending Stocks expected: Estimates (April) = 254 Million MT, March = 252 Million - but this is mostly due to a higher estimated "World Beginning Stock" (instead of 252 Million, the world started with 254 Million in this season). Therefore, I expect US (Chicago) Wheat prices to fall to around 462 (next support area). A stop loss should be placed a little bit above 478 (now a resistance area).

Short on Wheat (Chicago) The contract was in an upwards trend until it hit a trend line (1st / 2nd of March) I drew in the weekly chart (possible triangle formation). The resistance in form of the trend line hold and the price started to fall. It broke the first support line at 478 (last high) and the second support area at 462 / 459 (last low) with increasing volume. In my view that is a clear sign that the price might fall further until it hits the trend line at roughly 425 / 430 (part of the possible triangle formation I drew in the weekly chart). The support area at 462 / 459 now becomes a resistance area. My idea is supportet by weather conditions around the world (22nd of March): USA / Canada: Although key wheat producing areas around Kansas have been too dry, relief is expected from the 25th of March onwards. The forecasted precipitation will especially relief dry conditions in Oklahoma and Texas. Furthermore, temperatures are going to be higher than usual in the next two days. All in all: More favorable conditions for wheat. Europe: Temperatures have been significantly lower than usual, although no frost damage is expected. Germany and the Northern parts of Eastern Europe have been to dry. Precipitation is expected for the period: 25th of March - 29th of March. Temperature is going to increase, too. All in all: More favorable conditions for wheat. Black - Sea - Region: Temperatures have been significanly lower than usual, too. A thick snow cover protected winter crop. No significant damage is expected. But, temperatures are expected to stay lower than usual. Cold weather and the thick snow cover prolong dormancy and this might after all have a negative effect on the crop yield. All in all: Conditions are not perfect. Neverthless, a high crop yield is expected. China: Temperatures are forecasted to be significantly higher than usual in important wheat growing areas (esp. in the East of China). All in all: Favorable conditions for wheat. No extrem weather or significant dryness is expected within the next week. Extrem drought in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas is reliefed thanks to precipitation in the coming week. US - Dollar is for dollar dominated commodities an important factor. A week Dollar boosts prices. I expect the US Dollar to fall to 89.02 / 88.50. Here is an important resistance. This might not be favorable for Chicago Wheat price but one has to consider that US Wheat is still highly priced compared to its competiton in the Black Sea Region. So all in all, I think that the price should fall further.

ZW SHORT on 497 Stop on 534Not more than %1 risk on capital, idea is not so brilliant but wort to try. Guys I am sorry I do not enter detail on how I chosee my positions but I can not give detail. I can just say it is systematic and based on COT and Technical analysis together with aware of my emotions (let's say three leg table). There are many different type of COT analysis I know but what I use is a little bit different because I do not follow money mnagaers or leveraged funds I follow farmers...

Long Wheat on Technical Breakout from Rectangle PatternI went long on Wheat this morning in my paper account due to my original long commodity thesis. I am actively looking to add more commodity exposure to the portfolio, mainly because that's where I believe the outsized returns will come to home roost. On the weekly charts, wheat has broken through the rectangle pattern that spans back to August of 2017. I set my stop loss at 4.06, which if hit, would indicate a false breakout and an incorrect implementation of my bullish thesis at that moment. As always, let me know if you have any further questions or comments.

WHEAT - D - LONGReason for long : I'm pulling the trigger a bit fast on this one, as we don't have yet confirmation of end of consolidation on weekly TF. However, as I'm embarassed to miss the natgas rally (this is one of my favorite asset and I have waited weeks for this to finally miss it because of external factors). I believe raw materials are in for a good year in 2018 as cyclical this market can get. I'm not too much into GOLD/SILVER right now and wait for correction. But WHEAT is also tanking a lot since weeks and altough we made some pips weeks ago on false breakout, this was not convincing. This time may be the same... or not. Trade with your own diligence.
