SINGAPORE: CBOT March corn may retest a resistance at $5.59-3/4 per bushel, a break above which could lead to a gain to $5.64.

The contract is riding on a wave c from $5.40-3/4, which is capable of travelling to $5.71-1/2, its 100% projection level. The resistance at $5.59-3/4 triggered a correction which seems to have ended around $5.52-1/4.

Another projection analysis on the uptrend from $5.24-3/4 reveals a key resistance at $5.55-3/4, the 38.2% level, which has been briefly pierced.

This is a major breakthrough to bulls, after many failed attempts to overcome this barrier. A rise above $5.55-3/4 could confirm a break and a target of $5.65-1/2.

A break below $5.52-1/4 could cause a fall to $5.48. On the daily chart, the uptrend is developing within a rising wedge, which suggests a target around $5.86-1/4.

A break below $5.45-3/4 will make the wedge invalid. A bearish target zone of $5.30 to $5.37-3/4 will be established accordingly.
