Guy, was that a moving average sell signal?   Although I don't use them, I
noticed a cross over and turn down this last week, and I'm vaguely aware you use
such things in your system.   Patterns still have me in a Nasdaq sell signal
from the last 3 day pullback, targeting 3100.   But interestingly, I have a new
pattern sell signal from Friday with the close below the gap-up opening,
apparently matching this signal of yours.

Coincidentally, that matched a buy signal in beans and corn Friday, both of
which quickly traded above their respective gap-down openings.

Recent 3 day pullback in July Wheat, which triggered last Wed, still targets
291.  A close above 291, suggests this is not a simple a-b-c correction in a
down trend, and targets 315.   If this happens, the Wheat continuation chart
suggests we're now in the beginning of an Elliott wave 3 of 5, which is usually
characterized by a fast acceleration to new price levels.   Therefore, a cross
road is now at hand for wheat.   Jul Wheat hit both the 78% and gap resistance
with Friday's high, so stops on longs will now move in close.   If Wheat rejects
current price levels with a pattern reversal down, that would provide a good set
up for a continuation of the down trend and an excellent shorting
opportunity.     Next week, the wheat market speaks.   Looks like it may be time
to listen.
