CBOT soybeans end weaker on dull demand, lower grainsChicago Board of Trade soybean futures eased on Monday on good supplies, seasonally slowing U.S. export demand and spillover pressure from falling corn and wheat prices. -CBOT May soybeans settled down 5-3/4 cents at $11.85-3/4 per bushel. -CBOT May soymeal settled $4.30 lower at $333.40 per short ton, and May soyoil gained 0.29 cent to settle at 48.24 cents per pound. -Stiff competition for U.S. export sales from Brazil and concerns about demand from top-importer China still hang over the market. -Brazil's soybean harvest for the 2023/24 cycle had reached 74% of the planted area as of last Thursday, agribusiness consultancy AgRural said on Monday, up 5 percentage points from the previous week. -Traders continued to digest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data released last Thursday that projected U.S. 2024 soy plantings at 86.5 million acres, in line with trade expectations and up 3% from 2023. The acreage total is likely to shift with changing spring planting conditions. -The USDA on Monday morning said export inspections of U.S. soybeans totaled 414,484 metric tons in the week ended March 28, below trade estimates for at least 500,000 tons. -The USDA is due to release its monthly soy crush report later on Monday. Analysts surveyed by Reuters on average expect the government to report that processors crushed 196.4 million bushels of soybeans in February, up 0.8% from January and up 11.0% from the same month a year earlier.

Are Soybeans Setup For a Bigger Rally?Thursday marked the last trading day of the month and first quarter, which coincides with one of the more highly anticipated USDA reports of the year; quarterly stocks and prospective plantings. The USDA estimates that there will be 86.51 million acres of soybeans planted in the U.S. this year, that was a hair below the average analyst estimate of 86.53 million but still nearly 3 million acres more than last year. Quarterly stocks were reported at 1.845 billion bushels, this was slightly above the average estimate of 1.828 billion, and above last years 1.687 billion. With the headline numbers coming in close to expectations, the market was little changed at the close. From a technical perspective though, the Bulls were happy to see support near $12.00 hold, which is both technically and psychologically significant. As you can see on the chart, $12.00 has acted as somewhat of an inflection point through the first three months of the year. On top of that, you also have two major moving averages (the 20 and 50 day) coming in there. The 20 day appears to be nearing a crossover of the 50-day moving average which is often looked at as a bullish signal by technicians. The big hurdle for the Bulls to overcome comes in from 1225-1232. If the Bulls can achieve consecutive closes above this pocket we could see that spur prices higher with the next upside objective being the 100-day moving average. Above that, and there’s the potential to fill the gap from January 2nd, which comes in from 1305 ¼-1311 ¾.

SOYBEANS Excellent buy opportunity.Soybeans (ZS1!) has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since early 2023 just last week, it almost hit its bottom (Lower Lows trend-line). So far the price has reacted with a minor rebound, while the 1D RSI has been on a major Bullish Divergence (Higher Lows against the price's Lower Lows). This is the best buy signal since the May 31 2023 bottom where again after an RSI Bullish Divergence, the price rebounded aggressively to the 0.618 Fib on a +12.56% rally. So far within this long-term Channel Down, we have had similar rebounds of +12.56%, +14.26% and +11.86%. Assuming the minimum of +11.86%, we are setting a Target on Soybeans at 1263'5, which may almost make contact with the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), which has been the natural technical Resistance since April 24 2023. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

LET'S PLAY A GAME... (FRACTALS)Hi everyone... a quick take on Soybeans Futures The current composite stock market sentiment is widely accepted to be a repeated cycle from the past. Some markets are leading within the cycle, others are lagging, yet, all are in a continuous band..... And now, SOYBEANS This is the DJIA structure between November 1903 to February 1915, a 11.3 year cycle. The bottoming section is the trend between July 1910 and July 1914. The stock market closed in July 1914 into world war 1 and reopened in December 1914. The actual bottom is disputed between the July 1914 closing low and February 1915 low The current cycle commenced on 13/05/2019, the bottoming section is the trend from 18th July 2022 to the XXX ending date and holds striking similarities. Current ZS DJIA Fractal There are a total of 4 bottoms completing the bottoming cycle The 4 bottoms are synchronized in Solar harmony (in month) Here is how the harmony looks on solar time scale The month of the cycle lows are well aligned within a variation of 2 weeks using the weekly candle, with July being the approximate cycle month. For the 1903 - 1915 cycle, the entire duration was 589 weeks or 135.5 months. The bottoming cycle took 1673 calendar days. 1673 is one week less the harmonic cycle of 1680 days. The current fractal has an origin point on 13/05/2019, if we use the February 1915 low as the marker then the duration of the current fractal will be 1750 days or 250 weeks ending on 26/02/2024. The bottoming section will then take 588 days or 84 weeks Notice that 588 occurs twice in both cycles in weeks for the 11.3 year cycle(589 weeks) and days (588 days) in the current fractal. This also is 84 weeks in current fractal and 135.5 months in the 1903/1915 pattern (84 * 1.618) = 135.91 units Now the entire structure of the current cycle is clear, the low at 13/05/2019 was 791.0. The high within the cycle is 1784.0 Total price advance = (1784 - 791) = 993 units Entire expected duration = 1750 days Bottoming cycle duration = 588 days In a previous post we projected the 1008 points advance and squared out using 1008 trading days. The time of the first high was 1016 days, price at second high is +993 points. Notice that 993 points is 1008 units less 15 points. 15 units is equivalent to 2 weeks on the weekly chart or two candles Our next projection then puts the structure as a golden rectangle 1.618 with price and time. The price at 1170 is the current 0.618 correction/active bottom Putting it all together, this is the phase to expect after the cycle is complete We have a timeline for the long bets, we can also make projections into the extent of the next expansion Check back, stay safe Good luck

Descending Wedge & Bullish Divergence on March SoybeansFundamental Outlook: There’s no beating around the bush - the fundamental outlook for soybeans is bearish. Global ending stocks are now at all time highs per the last WASDE report, and export demand for U.S. soybeans has slowed considerably - currently down around 19% year-over-year. As South American harvest progresses, the outlook of the Brazilian soybean crop has also improved. Talking Technicals: Despite the bearish fundamental outlook - the descending wedge, bullish divergence on 14-day RSI, and declining volume profile presents a bullish setup. Managed money funds remain aggressively short - holding a net-short position greater than 150,000 contracts across futures and options on soybeans. An upside breakout could result in short-covering, ultimately propelling prices higher in the near-term. Descending wedge patterns typically see sharp, upside breakouts which would be akin to the price action observed in a short-covering rally.

Where is the bottom for soybeans? Soybean futures are off to a rough start in 2024. In the first week of trading, March soybeans were down nearly 42 cents on the back of beneficial rains sweeping Central Brazil. Selling pressure permeated into Monday’s session as well, with soybeans trading down into the mid 1230’s. So, the question now becomes, will March soybeans make new contract lows? Fundamental Snapshot : Monday’s lower price action is not all that surprising considering U.S. export inspections for soybeans were reported at 675k metric tons - below average trade estimates. Meanwhile, Brazil has been exporting both corn and soybeans at record paces each of the past two years, and is expected to have a record or near-record soybean crop this year as well. Wednesday, CONAB will release data pertaining to their estimations of corn and soybeans. Currently, they are less optimistic about the state of the Brazilian soybean crop than the USDA, and USDA will release their World Agricultural Supply and Demand Expectations report on Friday. If we see sweeping downward adjustments to production estimates from both CONAB and USDA, it may help soybeans find a bottom. However, if the market is disappointed in the data released this week, we may see soybeans test 1200 sooner rather than later. Technical Outlook : After last week’s precipitous drop, it was surprising that March beans failed to enter oversold territory. However, it did not take long to break into OS territory on Monday’s session. The head-and-shoulders pattern that’s developed over the past fiscal quarter has a difference of approximately $1.20/bu, which puts an operative price target between 1198 and 1208. That also happens to be the 78.6% retracement level between the mid-June lows and late-July highs. Markets can stay in overbought/oversold territory for extended periods of time, so if data disappoints this week, we may see the head-and-shoulders reach its price target. However, a positive reception to fundamental data this week may serve as a launching pad for soybeans to start moving higher.

Bullish on Soybean FuturesIn the Soybean futures market, a stabilization trend is evident. Several indicators suggest that this bottoming process appears to be sustainable. When considering the price in relation to standard deviations, it becomes apparent that the current price is within the range of its mean. Given the presence of a concealed yet distinctly bullish On-Balance Volume (OBV) divergence, there is a reasonable expectation that the Soybean futures will soon ascend to the 1430 level, coinciding with a Buyside Liquidity zone. For these reasons, we maintain a bullish outlook on Soybean futures. The outlined trade idea is presented as a suggestion for a specific trade with a Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR) exceeding 2.0:1.
