Re: May Corn

I think Corn looks like a tough case - the monthly and weekly charts seem to
lack symmetry in Fibonacci thrusts and retracements. The fib thrusts tell me
that a bottom is not yet in place but I would not be my hat on this. Both
monthly and weekly show Wyckoff springs which are bullish. Trendline on
weekly 10/16-11/13 has been tested twice and broken cleanly the second time
with a close above. The week has started out as an NR7ID indicating
consolidation and this is what the daily suggests to me. The gap day in the
daily is hard to judge without some idea of volume. The daily did take out a
pivot high from last decline which is mildly bullish. This is the kind of
setup I won't trade because I can't see that the odds are in my favor,
however for a very short term position trade I would be considering a long
entry depending on price action around 218.

Soymeal and wheat fib appear to have some bullish potential while beans look
like a basket case.
