SINGAPORE: CBOT March corn may climb to $3.89-1/4 per bushel, as it has cleared a resistance at $3.85.
The resistance is identified as the 50 percent projection level of a wave C from $3.67-1/4. After a few failures, corn pierced above this resistance again. This time, it may succeed in overcoming this barrier.
The next resistance will be at $3.89-1/4, a break above which could lead to a gain to $3.94-1/2. A drop to $3.83 could signal the fourth failure of the contract to break $3.85. However, only a break below $3.80-3/4 could confirm the formation of a temporary top around $3.85.
On the daily chart, the contract is poised to break a resistance at $3.86, the 38.2 percent retracement on the downtrend from $4.37 to $3.54-3/4. The break will be confirmed when corn rises to $3.87. It could open the way towards $3.95-3/4.
