SINGAPORE: The CBOT soybean July contract still targets $8.92-1/2, as it failed to break a resistance at $9.20 per bushel.
The resistance is identified as the 23.6% projection level of an downward wave C from $9.64-1/4. The failure followed the completion of a five-wave cycle from the May 13 low of $7.91.
So far, this set of projection levels have been working well in marking resistances and supports. The immediate support is at $8.92-1/2, a break below which could cause a loss to $8.70-1/2.
On the hourly chart, a peak is developing around $9.21-1/2.
A retracement analysis on the uptrend from $7.91 to $9.21-1/2 reveals a higher support at $9.02-1/4, the 14.6% level, which temporarily holds the fall. Only a rise above $9.21-1/2 could signal the extension of the uptrend.
