Enough shorts underwater to spark a Short Covering Rally in ZCN0Managed Money added about 30% to their position since early may, in ZCN0 contract most of that increase is under the 325 level, would take profit in the 335-340 zone if long.
ZC1! trade ideas
Buying the POC on the daily chart with highest volumeCorn long entry was triggered, especially after the bounce of prior POC on the daily chart, looking forward to see prices above 560 on corn...
Corn: A Potential Fade Approaching Corn seems to be in the final stage of a bullish run here. In terms of % gain, it is almost at the psychological 100% increase area from Mar'20 low. Short risk exposure is becoming more risky at these levels. With another push higher, some decent supply inflows are expected.
Is it time to short the Corn Market???CBOT:ZC1!
In recent times most commodities have been heavily inflated. So when is it time to short these things on a macro scale? Well, if seasonality tells us anything, typically corn prices start to fall once we enter the month of June.
There are 2 areas of supply on this chart, 1 of which we are already sitting in while the other is sitting at 627-680.

CORN FUTURES - SHORTTemporarily against the trend, or if long peel em off. Annual Z score > 2 standard deviations. Huge ! Ripe for correction but play a tight SL here
ZC Coiling up for next moveAfter this week's WASDE report, ZC limited up on 1/12. After the expected retracement, ZC has been trading in a range from 527-537.
POC is located at 534, I am expecting a retest of the high of 541'4 in the coming weeks. However, any break below 522'0 would indicate short term weakness.
Long term target of 560'0 by early Spring.
Current Corn StructureTop: Monthly Corn (2012-Present) Green box illustrates the current Harvest rally. Currently Corn is up 63% from its August Low, matching the 03/04 rally.
The next target above at the 38% retracement of 5.07. **06/07 and 07/08 rallies illustrated above**
Middle: US Dollar- US Dollar is trending lower, but the path forward is up for much debate. Higher or Lower???
Bottom : COT / Funds & Commercials – The Funds are Long and the Commercials are Short. We rarley see the Commercials this short In a strong carry market with an abundant supply, especially this time of year. The 03/04 market had the commercials eventually lifting their shorts and followed up with the next couple of years trading in the range that precluded the 03/04 rally. The 07/08 rally kicked off a multi year bull market. Funds long and Commercials remained Short…
Upside is unmeasurable, but Bulls proceed with caution. The first run out of a multi year bear, usually isn’t as strong as the later years in a multi year bull.
Continuous Corn Then to NowTop: Monthly Corn - Green boxes illustrate Harvest rallies from Aug into the next year. The dark green boxes below represent the end of each rally. Strength of rally’s depend on strengh or weakness of dollar and money flows from the funds and (more importantly) hedge activity from the commercials.
Middle: US Dollar- Strong $ discourages a healthy US export market. Slows demand. Weak dollar strengthens the grain markets
Bottom : COT / Funds & Commercials – Weak dollar spurs export demand. Demand creates volatility & higher prices. All of which work together to engage the producers selling. The commercials buy the physical (offsetting with short hedges), and the speculators riding the waves. At times the commercials get caught with sudden strong demand or short crop. Commercials can remain short for extended periods until the next supply build. Funds stay Long
Cup and HandleContract March 2021
Not a recommendation and looking a bit steep!
Target 2: 524 to 544
After pullback, long ZCStrong technical upward trend last few weeks on ZC which broke price levels not seen since 2014. Expect some volatility going into next week's WASDE report on 1/12/21. From a fundamental side, current La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific could impact South American crop production.
After a pullback, I am anticipating this trend to continue. Targeting mid to upper 500's by February/March.
Corn futures ZC - EW analysis - Buy after correction Corn futures - ZC - It is in extended 3rd of C wave up. Currently expecting sharp abc of 4th subwave correction of 3rd wave, which will go higher after completion to end the 3rd of C wave up.
Give thumbs up if you really like the trade idea.
