SINGAPORE: CBOT March wheat may break a support at $5.30 per bushel and fall to the next support at $5.26, as suggested by its wave pattern and a projection analysis.
These supports are identified respectively as the 76.4 percent and the 61.8 percent projection levels of an upward wave C from $5.10. This wave could have completed around a resistance zone of $5.36-1/4 to $5.38. A rising channel suggests the completion as well.
It could be too aggressive to target $5.16, which is around the lower channel line. However, a fall to $5.26 looks highly likely, as suggested by a dotted line.
On the daily chart, the break above a resistance at $5.32-1/2 seems to be unsuccessful, which is provided by the 23.6 percent retracement of the downtrend from $6.27-1/2 to $5.03-1/4, as wheat failed to stand firm above this barrier. The target at $5.50-1/2 has to be temporarily aborted.
