2. Hot Market: Grain Traders- Keep a Close Eye on Soybean Meal
From our friend Jim Wyckoff at JimWyckoff.com

See on the daily bar chart for July soybean meal futures that prices are in a steep nearly three-month-old uptrend and this week hit a 22-month high. The meal bulls have the strong near-term technical advantage.
However, the meal market is now overextended, big-time, and due for a good downside correction. When the soybean meal futures market bull move begins to fizzle, then the rest of the grain markets will also likely begin to
absorb significant selling pressure. My bias is that the grains can't see much more upside without a weather market scare in the U.S. Corn Belt.
The U.S. spring/summer planting and growing season is upon us, and that means higher volatility is likely for the grain futures markets in the coming several weeks--including weather market scares that crop up
nearly every year.
