CBOT corn may rise to $3.40-1/2

Published Updated

SINGAPORE: CBOT December corn may break a resistance at $3.38 and rise to $3.40-1/2 per bushel, driven by a wave c.

The resistance is provided by the 23.6 percent Fibonacci projection level of the wave c, the third wave of a three-wave cycle from the Aug. 12 low of $3.22-1/2. This wave is capable of travelling to $3.44-1/2, the 61.8 percent level.

A more realistic target could be $3.40-1/2, the 38.2 percent level, a break above which could lead to a gain to the 50 percent level at $3.42-1/2.

Support is at $3.35-1/4, the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement on the rise from $3.22-1/2 to the Aug. 15 high of $3.39-1/4, a break below which could cause a loss to the 38.2 percent level at $3.32-3/4.
