Jan Beans ๐ฑ
Not a great look here as we broke some clear support.
Where could the bottom be?
Everyone is talking about that gap fill.
It could, but gaps do not have to fill.
Testing this green box makes the most sense to me. We donโt have to, but there are a few reasons why it makes sense to do so.
On one hand, this is the golden zone. The most common place for a standard correction to happen. This market can come all the way down to this green box and still be in a โtechnical uptrendโ. Meaning this entire sell-off would still be viewed as a normal correction.
Not only that, this box perfectly lines up with our old yearly resistance.
We rejected this level on 6 separation occasions. It was a complete lid the entire year. Coming down to turn this old resistance into our new support would not surprise me at all.

We tapped that first target today. So we alerted a sell signal and hedge alert.
The first target was 50% of the entire sell off.
Not only that, we tapped the 50-day MA as well. Which used to be key support. Now resistance.
If we continue higher, we want to further de-risk at the 61.8% level. Which would line up with the gap fill.
This box is the most common spot for a market to revert back to on a relief bounce.
Feb Live ๐ฎ
Live cattle did end up hitting the first target as well today.
We will play it by ear here, but we have the 50-day above us, the 61.8% level, and the gap that are all points of interest.
Either way, this box is where the market makes the decision.
The market decides if this is just a relief bounce or something more.
As this is the most common area for a relief bounce to end.
March Corn ๐ฝ
Sideways action continues.
To the upside, we really need over $4.50 to confirm more upside.
However, closing above the 200-day MA for multiple days in a row would be a good sign as well. As up to this point we have not done that yet.
To the downside, we still need to hold that golden zone and the recent lows to prevent a bigger correction.
March Wheat ๐พ
Trapped in a very very tight range.
Break above the blue box and we should get some upside.
At the same time, we need to continue to hold this golden fib at $5.31 which we have now tested several times.
If we fail this level it opens the door down to contract lows.
If we are going to bounce, it needs to be here.
