Corn

Technicals (July)
July corn futures were able to gain back most of the losses from Thursday and Friday, but that rally fell flat after crop progress showed 70% of the crop planted, which was 2% ahead of expectations and now just 1% behind the 5-year average pace. As mentioned, many times on many outlets over the last week, a rise in volatility during this time of year should be anything but unexpected. Overnight strength last week was faded, will overnight weakness be faded this week? The Bulls want to see our pivot pocket from 454 1/4-456 1/2 defended on a closing basis. A close back above 460 1/4-463 1/2 would open the door for a retest of the recent highs from 471-474 3/4.

Bias: Bullish/Neutral

Resistance: 460 1/4-463 1/2, 471-474 3/4, 483 1/2-486**

Pivot: 454 1/4-456 1/2

Support: 448-451**

Soybeans

Technicals (July)
July soybean futures had a nice run higher yesterday after staging a clean break above our pivot pocket from 1220-1225. 1232 1/4-1236 3/4 was first resistance yesterday, that will act as the new pivot pocket for today’s trade. The next upside target remains intact from 1252-1259. We remain optimistic based on the technical landscape.

Bias: Bullish/Neutral

Resistance: 1252-1259***

Pivot: 1232 1/4-1236 3/4

Support: 1220-1225, 1199 1/2-1204*

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
