Tech Guy Corn Comments 2/10/26
There was little reaction to the USDA report. The highlights of the trading day are that corn could not test the lower uptrend line, or test yesterday's low. This price action leads us to believe that corn will continue trading in the up channel. First support is 435.5 in the May contract. Next support is 431.5, but the lower one is not expected. The next target higher is 444 to 447. Please study the corn continuation chart. It is the front month (March) until after options e

Tech Guy Soybean Comments 2/8/26
Soybeans had a rare, non-report day breakout to the upside last week. Keep your downside protection on above 1100 basis the May contract. If the buyers defend 1100 or above, leave 1150 to 1180 open to the upside. Report day is Tuesday, therefore trading conditions should remain lively. Be prepared to pull the trigger on a moment's notice. To recap Elliot wave theory, 5 waves is a complete impulse higher. There are 5 smaller waves that comprise the larger count. Therefore, 1 m

Tech Guy Crude Oil Comments 2/2/26
Elliot Wave theory describes the motion on a price chart. Specifically, it is a numbering system for the different legs or waves of price movement. An impulse wave is motion in the primary (dominate) direction of the market, and it is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, with 1, 3 & 5 being the primary legs, and 2 and 4 the corrective legs. Corrections consist of only 3 waves - A, B, C. Our example is crude oil, which recently traded an impulse wave higher (5 total legs/waves). Now, crude

Tech Guy Comments on the SR Wheat market 1/28/26
Chart patterns can be used to obtain price objectives. Patterns can be a double bottom or top, a head & shoulders, or even the range of a sideways channel. Among other factors, SR Wheat recently formed an upside down head & shoulders pattern on the 8 hour intraday chart. All that is needed is a measurement of the price range of the pattern. In wheat, it is the distance from the neckline down to the head. Our example in wheat shows that difference is about 25 cents, as you wil

Tech Guy Comments on the Soybean Market 1/25/26
There are 2 technical concepts going on in the soybean market currently: A pattern called a Narrow sideways channel and a market's response to gaps. Soybeans traded in a narrow sideways channel from August 2024, then broke out higher in October 2025. The break higher produced a big gap up on the continuation chart, while also closing a gap to the left on the rally upwards. Gaps are areas on the chart that need to be filled. Therefore, gaps become like a magnet for price - a t

Tech Guy's Comments on the Corn Market 1/21/26
This is a short overview of what appears to be unfolding in corn, and specifically in March corn, and also a couple of charting (technical) tidbits. The continuation corn chart marked a low in August 2024, rallied into February of 2025, then marked a higher low in August of 2025, followed by a rally into Christmas 2025. Anytime a chart makes a higher low after an extensive selloff, the odds increase that the primary down move is complete. Finally, Corn formed a head and shoul
