Sunset over a corn field
Grains

Sep Rough Rice made a new 12-month low today. I currently don't see a trading opportunity, so I'll keep watching from the sidelines.

Dec Soybean Meal made a new #1 bottom point this week at 278.50. This low formed at the bottom of the monthly chart support zone (purple rectangle). Keep watching for a 1-2-3 bottom formation to develop.

Metals

Oct Platinum has developed a left shoulder and a new possible head of a head and shoulder top formation. Keep watching the potential head of the pattern to be confirmed with a lower high to the right of the current high. Then watch for a right shoulder to form to setup a possible shorting opportunity.

Currencies

Sep British Pound has developed both a #1 and a #2 top point. Keep watching for all of 1-2-3 strategy criteria to be fulfilled.

Meats

Oct Lean Hogs developed a 1-2-3 top formation. An entry to the downside was triggered on July 14 when price broke below the Friday, July 11 low. The initial stop loss was just above the #3 point. The initial target was the blue daily chart support level at 87.150. If trading additional positions, they should have been stopped out on July 17 at the entry price.

Foods/Softs

Oct Sugar #11 has already formed the #1 and #2 bottom points, but instead of completing the pattern with a #3 point, price pushed higher. Now, I'm watching for a new #2 point to take shape—ideally followed by the formation of a #3 point. Keep watching for all of 1-2-3 strategy criteria to be fulfilled.
