CBOT corn to rise to $8.00 a bushel in 3 months

Published Updated

 SINGAPORE: CBOT corn is expected to rise to $8.00 per bushel over the next three months, as its long-term uptrend is intact based on its wave pattern.

A wave "4" retracement could have completed after it touched a low at $6.08, which falls within a strong support zone between $5.78 and $6.38, the 38.2 percent and 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracements on the rise from $3.24-1/2 to $7.35.

The contract could have started an upward wave (5), advancing towards $8.00, as pointed by an upper trendline which passed through the peaks of the wave (1) and the wave (3).

A fall below a pivotal support at $6.70 will signal the wave (4) correction has extended towards the $6.08 level and it may take a longer time before the wave (5) develops. Nevertheless, the bullish target at $8.00 should remain intact.
