After early 2010 weakness the price of Soybeans (CBOT) has, with some interruption, been moving from the bottom to top of its range for the year. Latest strength has seen a bullish break through the top of this now, so we can start looking at high targets/resistances.

The Commodity Specialist view

WEEKLY CONTINUATION CHART:

Note the 76.4% retracement level here, which provided effective support. In fact the late 2008 low was also at a long term 76.4% support (not shown).

The top of the recent range, the 1078.50 Dec-09 high (slightly lower on the front month chart), has now been exceeded.

Focus next turns to the 1134 61.8% recovery level.

DAILY CHART NOV-10:

After the Aug pullback held above first support around the 987.00 21-Apr high the 1060.25 Dec-09 high has now been breached.

With bulls remaining in control we note two overhead projections now, the 2.618 swing off prior Apr/Jun downleg, at 1150, and a slightly higher projection around 1166.

First support now comes from the 1060 area.
