SINGAPORE: Signals are mixed for CBOT March corn, which failed to reach a target at $3.89-1/4 per bushel and fell below a support at $3.85.
The target is at the 61.8 percent projection level of a wave C from $3.67-1/4. The failure of the contract to fulfil the target could be due to a miscalculation of the projection levels.
However, a retracement analysis on the daily chart reveals that the failure was indeed due to a strong resistance at $3.86, the 38.2 percent retracement on the downtrend from $4.37 to $3.54-3/4.
Corn seems to be have been stuck in a tricky situation. A break above $3.86 could open the way towards $3.95-3/4, while a failure could cause a loss to $3.74. There is little clue to which direction the contract is heading to. Further development of the chart is needed to evaluate the next move.
