Soybean Complex: End of Week Summary

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

 Soybeans       July soybeans are putting up a fight at previously defined cross zone support. A noble attempt indeed. However, the structure of this redound appears non-impulsive and corrective in nature. This would lead me to believe that it is unsustainable. First line of contention comes in at 928.2 to 929.0. A convergence of a channel line, fib retracement and 4th …

Soybean Complex: An Eye on Technicals 6/1/2017

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

 Soybeans          July soybeans struggle to gain any footing after fighting off the 910-900 cross support zone. An unimpressive and sloppy rebound runs outta steam at 920.6.

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

    Soybeans         Now that July soybeans has reached the first support zone, as discussed in earlier posts. It is prudent to examine the smaller time frames to look for clues to the upcoming price action. There appears to be a potential forth wave triangle developing (subset wave).
