CBOT soybeans neutral with downside bias

By Reuters News

- The CBOT soybean January contract looks neutral in a range of $12.24 to $12.36 per bushel, and an escape could suggest a direction.

A break above $12.36 may lead to a gain to $12.48-3/4. However, the bias might be toward the downside, as the correction from $12.36 looks incomplete.

The correction may consist of three waves that would make up a flat pattern. The current wave b is expected to end below $12.36, to be reversed by a wave c.

A break below $12.24 would confirm the wave c. On the daily chart, the current chart formation is presumed to be adopting a symmetrical pattern, which indicates a further rise toward $12.67.

The challenge is to determine when and where the sideways move ends. A rise to $12.38 will be considered a convincing signal of the resumed bounce.
