SINGAPORE: CBOT September corn faces a resistance at $4.06-1/4 per bushel, a break above which could lead to a gain to $4.18-1/4.
The resistance is identified as the 23.6% retracement of the downtrend from $4.68-3/4 to $3.87-1/4. It blocks the way towards $4.18-1/4.
Given that the current bounce has been observing the retracements closely, it is likely to extend to $4.18-1/4. The shallow correction triggered by this resistance is regarded as a pullback towards a falling trendline. The pullback is over.
However, wave pattern suggests that a downward wave C from $4.68-3/4 looks incomplete, as it may eventually travel to $3.70-1/2, its 161.8% projection level. The continuation of this wave will be confirmed only when the support at $3.99 is broken.
A rise to $4.09 may confirm a break above $4.06-1/4 and the target at $4.18-1/4.
