CBoT soyamealSoyameal: Soyameal price has not been following our preferred route on the chart and price has been taking out some very important supportive levels lately. The bottom of the story is the same as with soybeans but with the values of the soymeal contract. For now we look for price to drop another 3-5% during the come 1 to 2 weeks after which we will see whether we can try to name a tradable bottom again or whether we should start considering an alternative scenario. Pivotal resistance is at 324 basis the March contract.

CBoT SoyamealSoyameal: Price has developed an ascending channel during the past months with higher highs and higher lows that look quite similar to the soybean picture. Like in the soybean chart, the EW current EW count suggests that price is in the start of its 3 of 3 wave which should lead the price to substantial higher levels from here which could easily add 30% to today's value before the spring starts. Price is likely to continue trading up from here but could, under lead of the soybean price make on more dip as well. We keep 309/308 as the point where we will reconsider our bull scenario. We consider the 350 level as our first target during the first half of January after which price can make a corrective move down before it continues trading up.

CBoT SoyamealSoyameal: Price advanced further during the past week and broke up through our pivotal resistance level. Stops were hit and short traders are now sidelined. We now anticipate that price will probably trade further up during the coming 2 weeks or so to reach the 345 zone from where it will probably still make one run down. Breaking further up and trading higher than 345 will probably mean that a long term bottom has been put on the chart. We are going to step back in order to have a distanced look at this market for some time.

CBoT soyameal still a short but no margin at the upside Soyameal: Further sideways move during the week with only exception during Thursday's session when price spiked up and actually penetrated the most recent high at 310.90 which was not what we were looking for. The pull back that followed indicated that is could have been a bull-trap but it could also be that we have to reconsider our bear scenario. A close above the 312 during one of the sessions during the coming week will hit our stop level and will probably be the bode that price wants to trade up to 325/330 from here. For now our bear bias remains unchanged but there is no more margin to the upside.

CBoT soyameal short remains in force but stops are tightened Soyameal: Basically a non-event again during the past week with, indeed, one more test of the 295 region after which price bounced up again. We keep our bias unchanged to the downside but stops should be tightened. A quick look at the Bollinger Band (not displayed on the chart) shows that the BB has been contracting considerably during the recent past which is a bode that a violent move is coming the market. We still expect same move to be to the downside but since there are no guarantees offered in TA it is a wise policy to tighten the stops (and to take some long straddles).

CBoT soyameal remains a short play for nowSoyameal: Price did make an impulsive move to the downside early in the week as expected and moved sideways during the Wednesday session and the Thursday session. Same pattern made us expect that price would continue its move down from last Friday or next Monday onward but price made an impulsive move up instead. It could be that the corrective move up has already started which we will know if the recent high of 321.1 would be broken to the upside. In that case we will see further advance of price to 300 or more after which a reversal back is to be expected again. Our overall outlook for the mid term does not change and we keep our price target at much lower levels but it could be that our timing needs reconsideration.

CBoT soyameal unchanged shortSoyameal: Nothing much new to add to the picture of this chart for now and we keep our bias unchanged for lower values. During last Thursday's session price broke its recent 321.20 low which was confirmed during the session of last Friday and the way is now open for price to trade toward the next recent low at around the 280 level that we expect to reach during the first half of September. After this we will most probably trail the target down but we first want to see what the coming 2 weeks will bring us.

CBoT soyameal worth a short playSoyameal: The pattern and chart of this price shows quite some resemblance to that of the soybeans price with a far from perfect 'bear-flag-pattern' and a still preferred part to the downside. We keep our focus unchanged to the downside and have trailed our critical resistance level down to the 350/355 zone where. if broken to the upside, we will reconsider our bias. We could see a possible swing up from here during the coming week but our target remains unchanged 290/300 which is some 10% lower than current values.

Soyameal long play failed Soyameal: Similar to the soybean chart the price in soyameal failed to make a decisive reversal during the first 2 sessions of the week which made us abandon the bull scenario and start looking for further decline of the price to the 300 level during the rest of August. If and when price would break the 370/372 level to the upside we would start considering our previous bull scenario again. Price will probably trade a bit further up during the coming week to the 360 level but we expect it to reverse again and resume its move to the downside by the end of the coming week or possibly early during the week after that in order to complete a 10-15% decline in value.

CBoT soyameal long ply with tight stopSoyameal: Price has arrive at our target ahead of time and drew a beauty of a 'hammer' on the chart. A 'hammer' is a very reliable bode that the end of the downmove is imminent but it needs confirmation. We need this price to reverse here and now as per our earlier set scenario and we feel safe with a long play at the opening tonight although a tight stop is required. There is a 25/35% upswing potential in this chart. However, we need to see the reversal on Monday/Tuesday and need to stop out a a lower low.
