SINGAPORE: A bearish target at the July 2 low of $4.13-1/4 per bushel has been aborted for CBOT September corn. It will only be resumed when the contract breaks a support at $4.26-1/4.

The support is provided by the 23.6% retracement of the fall from $4.68-3/4 to $4.13-1/4. The strong bounce triggered by this barrier indicates an extension of the uptrend from $4.13-1/4.

A rise to $4.37 could confirm a break above $4.34-1/4 and a target at $4.41. A further gain would signal a reversal of the downtrend from $4.68-3/4.

On the daily chart, the pattern from the May 29 high of $4.47-1/4 looks like a head-and-shoulders. However, the white candlestick forming on Wednesday significantly reduces the likelihood of this pattern.
