Soybean Futures Surge: ZS, ZL, and ZM Align for a Bullish MoveI. Introduction Soybean futures are showing a potentially strong upcoming bullish momentum, with ZS (Soybean Futures), ZL (Soybean Oil Futures), and ZM (Soybean Meal Futures) aligning in favor of an upward move. The recent introduction of Micro Ag Futures by CME Group has further enhanced trading opportunities by allowing traders to manage risk more effectively while engaging with longer-term setups such as weekly timeframes. Currently, all three soybean-related markets are displaying bullish candlestick patterns, accompanied by strengthening demand indicators. With RSI confirming upward momentum without entering overbought territory, traders are eyeing potential opportunities. Among the three, ZM appears to be the one which will potentially provide the greatest strength, showing resilience in price action and a favorable technical setup for a high reward-to-risk trade. II. Technical Analysis of Soybean Markets A closer look at the price action in ZS, ZL, and ZM reveals a confluence of bullish factors: o Candlestick Patterns: All three markets have printed bullish weekly candlestick formations, signaling increased buying interest. o RSI Trends: RSI is in an uptrend across all three contracts, reinforcing the bullish outlook. Importantly, none of them are currently in overbought conditions, suggesting further upside potential. o Volume Considerations: Higher volume on up moves and decreasing volume on down-moves adds credibility to the bullish bias. III. Comparative Price Action Analysis While all three soybean-related markets are trending higher, their relative strength varies. By comparing recent weekly price action: o ZM (Soybean Meal Futures) stands out as the one which will potentially become the strongest performer. Last week, ZM closed above its prior weekly open, marking a +1.40% weekly gain. RSI is not only trending higher but is also above its average, a sign of potential continued strength. o ZS and ZL confirm bullishness but lag slightly in relative strength when compared to ZM. This comparative analysis suggests that while all three markets are bullish, ZM presents the most compelling trade setup in terms of technical confirmation and momentum. IV. Trade Setup & Forward-Looking Trade Idea Given the strong technical signals, the trade idea focuses on ZM (Soybean Meal Futures) as the primary candidate. Proposed Trade Plan: Direction: Long (Buy) Entry: Buy above last week’s high at 307.6 Target: UFO resistance at 352.0 Stop Loss: Below entry at approximately 292.8 (for a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio) Reward-to-Risk Ratio: 3:1 Additionally, with the introduction of Micro Ag Futures, traders can now fine-tune position sizing, making it easier to manage risk effectively on longer-term charts like the weekly timeframe. Given the novelty of such micro contracts, here is a CME resource that could be useful to understand their characteristics such as contracts specs . V. Risk Management & Trade Discipline Executing a trade plan is just one part of the equation—risk management is equally critical, especially when trading larger timeframes like the weekly chart. Here are key considerations for managing risk effectively: 1. Importance of Precise Entry and Exit Levels Entering above last week’s high (307.6) ensures confirmation of bullish momentum before taking a position. The target at 352.0 (UFO resistance) provides a well-defined profit objective, avoiding speculation. A stop-loss at 292.8 is strategically placed to maintain a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio, ensuring that potential losses remain controlled. 2. The Role of Stop Loss Orders & Hedging A stop-loss prevents excessive drawdowns in case the market moves against the position. Traders can also hedge using Micro Ag Futures to offset exposure while maintaining a bullish bias on the broader trend. 3. Avoiding Undefined Risk Exposure The Micro Ag Futures contracts enable traders to scale into or out of positions without significantly increasing risk. Position sizing should be adjusted based on account risk tolerance, ensuring no single trade overly impacts capital. 4. Adjusting for Market Volatility Monitoring volatility using ATR (Average True Range) or other risk-adjusted indicators helps in adjusting stop-loss placement. If volatility increases, a wider stop may be needed, but it should still align with a strong reward-to-risk structure. Proper risk management ensures that trades are executed with discipline, preventing emotional decision-making and maximizing long-term trading consistency. VI. Conclusion & Disclaimers Soybean futures are showing bullishness, with ZS, ZL, and ZM aligning in favor of further upside. However, among them, ZM (Soybean Meal Futures) potentially exhibits the most reliable momentum, making it the prime candidate for a high-probability trade setup. With bullish candlestick patterns, RSI trends confirming momentum, and volume supporting the move, traders have an opportunity to capitalize on this momentum while managing risk effectively using Micro Ag Futures.

Soybean Meal FuturesThe current outlook for Soybean Meal Futures (Dec 2024) leans bearish, as indicated by recent price actions and technical indicators. Downtrend: The price of Soybean Meal Futures is currently in a downtrend, marked by lower highs and lower lows, with the moving average line sloping downward. This suggests a prevailing negative sentiment among traders. Bollinger Band Breakout: Adding to the bearish sentiment, the price has recently breached the lower Bollinger Band. This breakout could signify strong bearish momentum, potentially pushing prices further down. While prices often return within the bands after such a breakout, continued movement outside could signal an extended downtrend. Volume Confirmation: The recent price decline is accompanied by a noticeable increase in trading volume, indicating strong selling pressure and supporting the likelihood of further price decreases. Key Support Level: A critical support level is identified at around 298.5, close to the current session's low. A break below this level could trigger further declines. Conversely, resistance is anticipated around the middle Bollinger Band and previous highs around 325–330. Potential Reversal: Despite the bearish signals, the source advises watching for reversal patterns like bullish engulfing candles or hammers, particularly near support levels. A return inside the lower Bollinger Band could also suggest a short-term price bounce. However, such a reversal requires confirmation through volume support and sustained price action.

15% to 30% Upside Ahead for Soybean Meal (Divergence Strategy)Soybean Meal recently confirmed the monthly bullish divergence with Septembers candle close. This is a significant signal that prudent traders should pay close attention to. What this signal implies is that there is a minimum 15% move to the upside from current price ahead for Soybean Meal. The high end target is a 30% upside move. This does not mean this market is going to go straight up from here. In my opinion, dips are for buying in the Soybean Meal market until we reach these upside targets. Have a great week.Long03:59by Tradius_Trades0

Soy Meal Opportunity Launching Pattern Symmetrical TriangleThis is a 1 year rectangle with an 8 week symmetrical triangle offering potential launching pattern - breakout using 30 day ATR of 5 points (45-50%) would target 500 mark offering the trader 65 points x 100 or $6500 for each future traded. Of note, a prior symmetrical triangle in the pattern also occurred and reached the target. Its very likely the 1 year boundary will remain stable offering a trader profits and opportunities while trading within the boundaries.Longby 1Creekdoc2
Soybean Crush Processor Margin w CalcThe soybean crush spread calculates how much profit a soybean processing plant can generate by crushing a bushel of soybeans into soybean meal and oil. The profit margin is that profit number divided by the revenue which is the price of the meal and oil outputs. I prefer to look at profit margin as opposed to just profit as it adjusts for large market fluctuations over time and is more meaningful from a business and analysis perspective. I was not able to come up with any tradable theories based on this analysis. I added live cattle and lean hogs to try and figure out what’s going on with soybean meal reaching multi-year highs this week. It appears that move is correlated with live cattle reaching new highs. Soybean meal is rising while soybean oil is falling. Soybeans are pretty flat although slowly rising. I will continue to monitor this spread for clues about future soybean, soybean meal, and soybean oil movements. If anyone has any insights on crush spreads, please share. The calculation of the spread is shown below: by Skipper86552
