SINGAPORE: CBOT March wheat may test a resistance at $5.19-1/2 per bushel, a break above which could lead to a gain to $5.23-1/4.

The resistance is established at the 38.2 percent retracement of the uptrend from $5.03-1/4 to $5.29-1/2. The deep drop from $5.29-1/2 looks like a pullback towards a falling trendline.

The pullback seems to have completed around the support at $5.09-1/2. The uptrend from $5.03-1/4 may have resumed. It is expected to extend towards $5.29-1/2.

On the daily chart, the bullish divergence on MACD indicates that the bounce caused by the support at $5.03-1/2 may extend. Driven by a wave C, the bounce may reach into a range of $5.25-1/2 to $5.33-3/4, formed by the 138.2 percent and the 123.6 percent projection levels of a downtrend from $6.04-1/4.
