Wheat

(ZWN24) 
July

The first sign of a turn higher in Wheat based on the Fibonacci ONE44 rules and guidelines was when the market failed to make a new low on 4/18/24 at a 78.6% retracement, we know following the 78.6% rule that a lot of Bull markets start and end at 78.6% levels.

The rally from it went 80 cents and the setback from there held 38.2% on 5/1/24 at 596.00. With the ONE44 38.2% rule we know a market needs to hold 38.2% to keep the trend intact and that new highs should follow. The rally from it took it to new highs and a total of 90 cents.
 

Now the market setback could only get 23.6% back and when this happens the market is extremely strong and a run away move can happen. It did have one close below 23.6% at 659.00, but always needs two to confirm a violation of the level. 

Use 659.00 as the swing point.

Our short term target above it is 725.00 (38.2%).

Below it, look for 38.2% at 636.00.

Lean Hogs

(HEM24) 
June

You only have to look at the chart below to see how well the market adheres to the Fibonacci retracements.

The low on 1/3/24 was started by a 23.6% retracement on the continuation chart and the top hit 61.8%on the same chart on 4/10/24 at 107.70, it also hit the 109.10 major Gann square. The long term target based on the ONE44 61.8% rule is, when a market holds 61.8% you can look for a 61.8% move the other way and this was finally completed today ( ok 15 cents short after a $12.00 move). On the chart you can see the 78.6% retracement ended the Bull move on 4/23/24 at 107.80 (the reverse of what started the rally in Wheat).

We will follow the same 61.8% rule and look for 61.8% back up at 104.50. A failure to turn higher from 95.95 should send it down to 78.6% at 92.25.
