CBOT wheat may test resistance at $4.70-3/4

23 Aug, 2019

The resistance is provided by the 14.6% retracement on the downtrend from $5.57-1/4 to $4.56-1/4. The trend could be broken down into five waves. The final wave labelled (e) could be divided into five smaller waves.

This wave structure, along with the bounce from $4.56-1/4, indicates a reversal of the downtrend. A falling channel suggests the current bounce may extend to $4.94-3/4. A realistic target will be $4.80.

Wheat failed to break $4.70-3/4 in its first attempt. The failure caused a shallow correction which may be limited to $4.63-1/4.

On the daily chart, a retracement analysis on the uptrend from $4.27-1/4 to $5.57-1/4 indicates a further bounce towards $4.76-3/4, the 61.8% level.
