Corn Futures ConsolidateTechnicals (May)
May corn futures continue to be stuck in a sideways trade, not great if you're trading for a bigger directional move. With that said, we believe there are some great opportunities for shorter term trading opportunities on both sides of the market. If you'd like to discuss being more active on a shorter-term basis, feel free to reach out to our trade desk to discuss strategy! Trade volume is starting to shift out from the May contract to July, with first notice day just under two-weeks away.
Bias: Bullish/Neutral
Resistance: 441 3/4-444 1/2***, 447 1/2-450****
Pivot: 431 1/2-435
Support: 421-422***
Fund Positioning
Friday’s Commitment of Traders report showed that Funds were net sellers of about 4k contracts (through 4/9/24), that puts their net short position at 263,554. Broken down that is 158,480 longs VS 422,034 shorts.

Performance Disclaimer
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.
