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!

WHEAT Bearish pressure under the 1D MA50 and MA200.Wheat (ZW1!) has been trading within a long-term Channel Down pattenr since July 2022. The price is currently on a bearish sequence below both the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). It appears that technically this is a Bearish Leg following the December 06 2023 Lower High rejection, similar to the one that started on the October 10 2022 Lower High. That sequence reached the Channel Down bottom on the 1.786 Fibonacci extension. As a result, our long-term Target is 455'7. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

A quick short-term look at the wheat ZW contractCBOT:ZW1! Wheat is currently located in a weekly Fair value gap . On the daily chart we have been rejected by the FVG (checkpoint "1") and we reached (and totally respected) the volume imbalance (checkpoint "2") . After that point price may go up or down. We should see how market opens in Monday. One possibility is that wheat might be pricing higher , heading towards the buyside liquidity that is located in the checkpoint "3" or maybe the Faire Value Gap that is resting above in the checkpoint "4". One other possibility is that price pass through the volume imbalance and head towards the sell-side liquidity that is resting bellow (checkpoint "5"or maybe "6") but I think it will descent in a slow pace till price finds its needed liquidity to shift its structure.

The weakness of ag-commodities that can be turn into their powerCBOT:ZC1! CBOT:ZS1! CBOT:ZW1! Those commodities had a very interesting price path so far. Since the Russian invasion these three commodities lost a lot of their value. More specifically wheat lost around -50% from its peak, corn -45% and soybeans around -30%. The ag-commodities market is pricing clearly in an oversold area that I think ,in my opinion , is starting to shift slowly its narrative . I think in the next months we could see some buying pressure in the ag-market. The trigger I think is already been pulled and I mean the protests of the farmers in all Europe. If this situation stays as it is today the European farmers won't return to their lands until they get what they ask (lower cost of production). However the lower cost of production as a phenomenon belongs in a healthier economy and I am sure that we are from that healthier financial environment. Geopolitical events , the unstable macroeconomic environment and so much more don't allow the economy to become better or even be stabilized . So, farmers won't give up that easy this time. But this uncertainty can benefit the U.S.-based commodities (wheat, corn soybeans) . In my opinion in the next few months , a gap will be created in the supply-demand chart. People will need food but the marketplace won't be able to fill that need. So European countries could use the us marketplace to fill up their gaps. disclaimer: this idea is more like a diary and less like an article . I had the need to write down my thoughts about that

ZW1! Wheat Futures Capital Rotation To Commodities?One thing that never seems to change is as one sector advances another lags and while one lags the another advances. The allure of a rising market and fear of reversal in another causes capital rotation. Looking at risk on assets they have made quite the advance into old highs and some all time highs while many commodities are reaching old lows and past long term support levels. When looking at these charts technically we can see wheat futures have retraced 75% of its last advance and currently sitting on the last real support resistance flip. Many other commodities such as corn, and soy are sitting in the same position. If we consider these assets being in a good buy zone technically and look at other assets like stocks and indices, that are in all time high territory the question is where will the profit taking go. The longer an advance lasts the closer it is to the end and while the advance may not be over participants are certainly considering taking profit and rotating capital. When a decline begins fear will cause the rotation from one to the next. Current Trading Plan: This a weekly chart of wheat futures and we can see the average range is approximately 55%. Currently accumulating in the bottom portion of the 55% range from the current support level and looking to distribute in the upper 1/8th. If we consider the average rate of increase from past advances depending on how long accumulation lasts looking at a period of late 4th quarter 2024- 1st quarter 2025 Trade Well......

SW: Weak Wheat Prices Are Here to StayCBOT: Wheat ( CBOT:ZW1! ) In stark contrast to the rising stock market, most agricultural commodities have lost ground in 2023. In the Grain & Oilseeds market, CBOT Soybean (ZS) finished the year at $12.73 per bushel, down 14.7% year-on-year. CBOT Corn (ZC) closed at $4.63/bushel, down 30.8% YOY. CBOT Wheat (ZW) settled at $5.93/bushel, down 24.5%. In the Livestock & Meat market, CME Group Lean Hog (HE) lost 23.2%, while Pork Cutout (PRK) was down 13.0% YOY. Live Cattle (LE) was the only exception with a 10.3% gain. Despite bad weather, supply chain bottleneck, rising cost of borrowing, and escalating geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Mideast, farmers around the world managed to produce higher outputs of grain and meat. With food demand remaining weak, this surplus supply pushed the prices of food ingredients downward. The WASDE Report Today, we will focus on wheat, which saw huge price volatility in the past five years. According to the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) last week: • Global wheat output for 2022/23 was 789.17 million metric tons, up 1.2% YOY; • Output for 2023/24 was estimated at 783.01 in December but revised up to 784.91; • Global supplies are raised by 3.6 million tons to 1,056.5 million on higher beginning stocks and production. In the US, average yield per harvested acre was 46.5 bushels in 2022/23, up 5.0% YOY. • The WASDE estimated yield to grow 4.5% more to 48.6 bushels in 2023/24; • Across all wheat varieties, total US production was estimated at 1,646 million metric tons in 2021/22, 1,650 in 2022/23 (+0.2%) and 1,812 in 2023/24 (+9.8%); • The 2023/24 season-average farm price is forecasted by $0.10 per bushel lower at $7.20, based on prices received to date and expectations for the remainder of 2023/24. Quick Review of My Previous Trade Idea on Wheat Futures A rule of thumb for agricultural commodities: Their market prices are very sensitive to supply changes. Due to weather perils, deceases, shipping route blockage, among others, significant uncertainties surround food availability in terms of quantity and quality. On the other hand, demands for agricultural commodities are relatively stable, and have a smaller effect on price changes. In February 2022, the breakout of Russia/Ukraine conflict sent wheat prices up 70% within two weeks, from $7 to $12 a bushel. The two countries accounted for about 28% of the global wheat export market. Investors panicked that geopolitical conflicts could cut off the wheat supply. It turned out that the fear was overblown. Despite the ongoing conflict, Russia and Ukraine agreed to keep the Black Sea grain shipping routes open. By July 2022, wheat prices were back to $7.50 a bushel, down 60%. On June 2022, I published a trade idea on Long Strangle options strategy on Wheat Futures. Below is a follow-up report on how that wheat options trade performed: Trading with CBOT Wheat Futures The World Bank forecasts the global economic growth to slow for the third year in a row — from 2.6% in 2023 to 2.4% in 2024, which is almost three-quarters of a percentage point below the GDP growth average of the 2010s. Slowing economy points to a weak demand for wheat this year. Consequently, the expected wheat supply increase would put further pressure on wheat prices. Another supporting evidence: I observe that in the past five years, wheat price trend closely tracks that of the US CPI for food (see title chart). Food CPI peaked in August 2022 at 11.4%, but it is sharply down to 2.7% in December 2023. During the period of runaway inflation, food prices were a major contributor to inflation, which drove headline CPI and core CPI higher. Now, food inflation is below both. The January 16th CFTC Commitments of Traders report (COT) shows that “Managed Money” holds 73,485 long positions and 142,060 short positions on wheat futures. The long/short ratio of 1:2 indicates that speculative traders are bearish on wheat prices. Last Friday, the March wheat contract (ZWH4) was settled at $5.93 per bushel. In my opinion, wheat prices could fall further to test $5 a bushel, a level not seen since 2020. Each wheat contract has a notional value of 5,000 bushels, or $29,662 at current price. To acquire 1 contract, a trader is required to deposit an initial margin of $2,500. Hypothetically, if futures price falls by 50 cents a bushel, a short futures position would gain $2,500 (= 0.50 x 5000). Using the $2,500 initial margin as cost base, a short trader could realize a theoretical return of 100%, excluding commission. If crop yield is to grow less than expected, or if wheat demand increases more than expected, wheat futures could rise, and a short position will stand to lose money. Happy Trading.

Wheat - First Pump, then DumpIn wheat today, there was an impulsive increase of approximately 4%. However, indications suggest that this surge may lack sustainability. When considering the price in relation to standard deviations, two noteworthy observations emerge: a zone of high liquidity aligns almost precisely with the range of a double standard deviation. Nevertheless, a substantial amount of sell-side liquidity awaits below, ready to be tapped. For these reasons, we hold a mid-term bearish outlook on wheat. The outlined trading idea is presented as a suggestion for a specific trade opportunity, featuring a risk-reward ratio exceeding 2.6:1.

WHEAT Struggling on the 1D MA200. Long-term sell opportunity.Wheat (ZW1!) has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since July 2022 and since early December has failed repeatedly to detach itself above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). Since it is closer to the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the pattern and it resembles the February 14 High, we expect a strong selling sequence if the price breaks below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). The previous Lower Low was priced on the 1.786 Fibonacci extension from the Lower High. That gives us a projected target of 413'0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Two indications supporting long tradeOn the daily, the 20MA is about to cross up over the 100. This after bouncing off the .618 Fib as support. While commentary is mostly still at least slightly bearish on Wheat, or at least not bullish, due to ample supply, there are several obvious factors going forward that make continued record production uncertain. Furthermore, the real cost of producing wheat, such as loss of biodiversity, soil degradation and wheat's role as livestock feed and which will have to be accounted for one way or the other, makes this current price unrealistic.
