SINGAPORE: CBOT May corn may retest a resistance at $3.66-3/4 per bushel, probably after a further correction to a support at $3.63-1/2.
The resistance and the support are identified as the 123.6 percent and the 138.2 percent projection levels of a wave C from $3.95. The circled part of the chart looks like an inverted head-and-shoulders, with the right shoulder developing towards $3.63-1/2.
A break above $3.66-3/4 could lead to a gain to $3.70-12, while a break below $3.63-1/2 could cause a loss to $3.60-3/4. It is a bit strange that market reacted so drastically to the support at $3.60-3/4, which is the 150 percent level.
A study on the daily chart provides a clue. The support almost coincides with another one at $3.60-1/4, the 61.8 percent projection level of a presumed wave C from $4.04-3/4. Based on this wave count and the projection analysis, corn may rebound into the range of $3.68-3/4 to $3.77.
