Descending Triangle Setup on Wheat, Target at 525

Short
FX:WHEATF   Wheat Future
Overview
The main view of this trade idea is on the Daily Chart.

The commodity Wheat is in a descending triangle setup, with the resistance trend line at lower highs of 949.08 and 798.34. These lower highs occurred on 10th October 2022 and 30th December 2022 respectively. The support line is observed around the 730 price level. Expectations are for the support at the 730 price level to break and the commodity will decline towards 525. A negation of this view will result in Wheat rallying above 800.

Technical Indicators
Some technical indicators corroborate the chart pattern setup. The Supertrend indicator is in a sell mode and the Awesome Oscillator is below 0 and Red, indicating a downward trend. The RSI for the commodity is also below 50.
The intra-day trend following indicators of Wheat also show downtrends in the 15-Min, 2-Hr, 4-Hr and Daily timeframes. Short term resistance is observed around the 730-770 price range.
The longer-term view also show Wheat in a downtrend. It broke below trend in late June 2022 and has been below trend ever since. Indication of a downtrend has been utilized using the 28-Week Simple Moving Average. A change in the long term trend would occur, at the time of writing, with a weekly close above 805.

The recommendation will be to go short at market, with a stop loss at 800 and a target of 525. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 2.97.
