It's time to reconsider...In today's video I explain why am reconsidering my previous bullishness after I reconsidered the long term technical and fundamental resistance. Technical factors such as long term resistance and fundamental factors such as high supplies in Russia, topped with weak demand and questioning the narrative about the actual effects of the recent dryness concerns in the U.S and Russia. Stay tuned for more! CBOT:ZW1!
XW1! trade ideas
Wheat: double top or more to come?Concerns over weather and the potential for climate anomalies have seen a bullish trend in wheat recently. However and as analysts are at pains to point out, fundamentals on the ground like ample supply are still bearish.
But now that wheat has broken through the 200MA in white and consolidated, it's possible that bullish sentiment may remain into the new week. A break back under the 200 that then becomes resistance again will mean that this was another double top, similar to June-July and December 2023. But TA-wise, if the price can stay above the 200 daily until the 50MA catches up, then climate concerns and a golden cross may rally bulls towards the weekly 200MA.
Not financial advice.
Wheat vs 200MA: can it hold?Rain forecasts in Russia have led to profit taking in wheat, but the question remains how bullish (as opposed to short covering) was this rally? If the price can keep its head above the 200MA, TA-wise longs may be worth accumulating.
While professional analysis points out that wheat's fundamentals in terms of oversupply are still very bearish, and thus an opportunity to sell down the rally and possible double-top if the 200MA wins out, it's worth keeping in mind whether another set of fundamentals - increasing yearly odds of extreme climate events and anomalies - has been adequately priced in.
Not investment advice, der.
A cautious market structureAlthough there was a rally later in the day in the S&P 500 which implies buyers moving the market higher going into the close. The overall structure for Friday implies caution if you are on the long side. It's important that the market does not return to Friday's Lows on Monday to maintain momentum for continuation to new highs.
Wheat vs the Daily 200MAWheat has been in a price normalization phase after the potential catastrophe of Russia's full scale invasion of its democratic neighbor. Since June 23, bulls have made several attempt to break and hold the daily 200MA, shown in green circles above. The first four attempts can be read as two sets of double tops. Even if this rally can't hold the 200, chances of another double top are worth considering.
However, unlike the previous double top attempts on the daily 200, the 50MA in orange is turning up towards the 200 and thus a second attempt at a golden cross may not be far off. The 100MA, in light blue, is almost there already, though of less significance.
Record harvests aside, increasing climate anomalies and the depravities of wars of aggression suggest this market may experience volatility going forwards.
As with all my posts, this is not financial advice and you trade at your own risk.
Wheat: Bulls are Back! ๐Wheat is once again showing its bullish side and is taking the first upward step out of the sideways movement of recent weeks. In the further course, the price should now continue the blue wave (c) and complete the superordinate wave A in turquoise. Following this, we expect a sell-off. Within the framework of our alternative scenario, however, it remains 37% likely that the price will once again fall below the support level at USX 495.25 in order to make a lower low of wave Alt. (b).
Wheat Holding at the PCZ of a Bullish Bat Aligning with SupportWheat 2 years after topping out at the PCZ of a Bearish Shark that initiated a downtrend in 2022, has now come back to the top side of the range wheat traded in between the years of 2016 and 2020 before ultimately confirming the bottom at the PCZ of a Bullish Deep Gartley in 2019 and breaking free to the upside of the trading range in late 2020.
Now that wheat has found its way back down here at this previous resistance zone, we can see that it has formed a Bullish Bat structure on the way down which aligns with the old resistance and that it is currently attempting to be supported by the 200-period moving average on the 2-week timeframe. We can likely assume that as the Baltic Dry Index continues higher, wheat will regain it's 2021 highs along with many other agricultural goods and that this will have an inflationary effect overall.
In the related ideas section I will leave a setup for BDRY which is the ETF that tracks the Baltic Dry Index and I will also leave the DBA which is an ETF that holds the futures contracts for various different agricultural goods such as corn, wheat, sugar, and more related items. I will also leave setups for two Dry Bulk and Containership Charterers.
Lastly I will provide my harmonic Inflation Rate projections.
Wheat Market And The Potential Catalysts Building UpIn this video I go over one of my favorite markets the Wheat market and its current conditions and it's developing stories from dryness in the Kansas City Area a major producer of HRW wheat to war torn Ukraine and potential disruptions there. And with a market that is very heavily shorted by large managed money speculators this leaves a market very vulnerable to sharp short covering spikes like we saw today. Overall I would still be careful I am personally am waiting for a retest of the current breakout but with us closing above the 50 day moving average and some potential catalysts beginning brewing I believe there could be opportunities that the majority of people will just shrug off. So stay tuned for more I defiently plan on making more videos about wheat and corn and feel free to message me I am always trying to learn more!

Can wheat break above previous trendline support?Wheat
Technicals (May)
Wheat futures shot higher overnight but got stonewalled by what was previously trendline support (now resistance). A failure to close out above 550-555 keeps the Bear camp in control with a potential retest of the lows still in play. Further escalation in the Middle East could turn the tide back to Bullish.

May wheat futures broke lower yesterday, after struggling to maintian price action above trendline support in the previous two sessions.

Wheat Futures Riding a Fine LineWheat
Technicals (May)
May wheat futures traded in a wide range yesterday, on both sides of unchanged. This morning, prices are attempting to firm as the market revisits our pivot pocket from 550-555. The Bulls will want to see consecutive closes back above this pocket to spur a move back towards the recent highs. A failure to do so could put the Bears in the driver's seat.

WHEAT; ZW: A resistance turned supportA monthly bulldiv, a resistance turned support, and a falling wedge on the monthly that is breaking out (to the right) now, what else do you need?
In the Grain complex, farmers have stubbornly held onto their stores past the December 2023 sale period because they didn't like the prices. The storage basis has ticked up since then. Maybe one more month of high basis to really make the storers give up and sell what they've got in the bin. I mean why would you plant more when you still have stuff in the bin? Then I think the new planting season data in Mar/April we will find that planting is underweight on wheat, probably *still* overweight soybeans, and this is just very predictable stuff.
Bin stores Down, planting down ---> Price up
Fading the Soybean mania vs grain complex spread is a very easy agriculture trade. I already did that in a prior Rice vs Soybeans trade. Now Rice is at ATH and Soybeans is down, not because I am that good but because this trade is that easy. The same will happen in grains, which are depressed atm. Remember that livestock feed can be switched to Wheat or Oats or Corn at a moment's notice, and Soybean meal can get removed. This means new bids.
On the chart I really like $9.00 a bushel, just a great mean reversion target, don't get greedy just go for mean reversion. 58% is a tonne of PnL!
