SINGAPORE: CBOT December wheat may test a support at $4.60-3/4 per bushel, a break below which could cause a fall to $4.54-1/4.
The support is identified as the 150% projection level on a downtrend from $5.43. Wheat failed to break resistance at $4.67-1/4 and a falling trendline. The failure indicates completion of the first bounce from the Sept. 3 low of $4.50-1/2.
It is not very clear how deep the correction triggered by the resistance will be. Most likely, it will be limited to $4.54-1/4.
A break above $4.67-1/4 could lead to a gain to $4.75-1/4.
On the daily continuous chart, a retracement analysis on the uptrend from $3.59-1/2 to $5.93 indicates a further gain towards $4.76.
This analysis suggests that the bounce of the December contract has not completed. It may resume after the shallow fall towards $4.54-1/4 (first chart).
