A number of the grain markets are currently in oversold territory according to our Elastic Level (EL) indicator. Corn, in particular, is strongly oversold with a current reading of -8.25 as of Friday’s close. As technicians know … a market that is oversold can remain in oversold territory for extended periods. For this reason we use a trigger that tells us that the oversold territory is likely to reverse.  In this instance, The Elastic Level indicator for Corn has formed a pivot low, which suggests a slowing to its oversold condition.

 

With Corn off 2.64% last week and our Elastic Level indicators suggesting stability … what’s the potential safety net level for Corn in the near term?  Our SigXSR indicator, which measures the strength of support and resistance levels, shows very strong support for Corn at 353.25.
