CBOT corn may retrace to $4.44-1/2 before rising

Published Updated

The flag developed from the June 17 high of $4.64-1/4. Corn may pull back towards this pattern while loosing its momentum around $4.55-3/4, the 50% projection level of an upward wave C from $4.08-1/4.

A break above $4.55-3/4 could lead to a gain to $4.66-3/4, while a break below $4.44-1/2 could cause a loss to $4.30-1/2. On the first-month continuous chart, corn climbed above a resistance at $4.45-3/4, the 100% projection level of an upward wave (C). The contract is supposed to retest $4.61-3/4.

However, the bearish divergence on the daily RSI does not support a strong rally. Most likely, corn will fail to break $4.61-3/4 again.
