CBOT wheat may retest support at $5.12-1/2

Published Updated

The support is provided by the 61.8 percent retracement of the uptrend from $5.01-1/4 to $5.31-1/4. A sharp bounce triggered by this support has been deeply reversed. The reversal signals a continuation of the downtrend from $5.31-1/4.

It is not very clear if this support could trigger a bounce again. Given that the support is strengthened by another one established by a rising trendline, a weaker bounce may occur, which may be limited to $5.16-1/4.

A break above $5.19-3/4 could lead to a gain to $5.24. On the daily chart, wheat is poised to break $5.14-1/2 and fall to $5.09-1/2.
