2. Hot Market Report: Soybeans Futures - Meeting Resistance

By Joe Easton, Senior Broker

Click on image below to enlarge

This week’s highlighted Market is soybeans. Soybeans futures are part of the GRAINS family which includes 4 types of Wheat, Corn, Soymeal, Oats, Rough Rice and Bean Oil. All traded on the CBOT/GLOBEX exchange.

Weekly chart from this morning, (July 12th 2019).

Since our last segment, part 3 of 4 Beans signaling grains bottom?

Soybeans has indeed made a bottom and has rallied back to the high end of the previous trading range $8.91- $9.31. The low was $7.91 and we weekly closed at $8.2075. This New Low weekly close was below the previous low weekly close of $8.3025. The high weekly close of this range is $9.2350, which just so happens to be where we are now. We have traded up to $9.27 at press time and are closely watching to see if we can close over $9.2350 to try the high 930s and 940s. A close over $9.50 would be over the range and could create a short squeeze toward $10. Conversely, closing below this resistance level should create profit taking and additional selling to under $9. If we hold under this level $9.2350, we could retry the recent lows $7.91.
