Ags Break Lower

 | May 15, 2014 04:16PM ET

Four out of the last five days Corn futures have lost ground giving up nearly 40 cents after failing at their highs near $5.20/bushel in the July contract. Thursday the 50-day MA (blue line) was breached for the first time since late January. Futures settled just below their 38.2% Fibonacci level. Though the easy money has been made in my view, we still see lower trade and I will be looking to fade rallies with Ag-trading clients.

Bearish technical action remains present and barring any weather issues, I expect the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci levels to be challenged. Big picture: The increasing supply outlook globally should accentuate the move lower. Cooler or wetter weather could add bullish short-term spikes, so don't fall asleep at the wheel.
