Soybeans 

(ZSX25) 

November

From last week,

It held 1016.00(38.2%) and went on to a new high and then hit the short term target area of 1053.50 (78.6%) and the 1057.50 major Gann square. It had a couple minor closes above 78.6% (1053.50) and the 1057.50 major Gann square and had no follow through. Today's setback is just short of 38.2% back to the 4/9/25 low at 1030.00 and this will be the key level for next week.. With it getting back below 78.6% (1053.50) we will be using the ONE44 78.6% rule for the long term target of 78.6% the other way.

Use 1030.00 as the swing point for the week.

 Above it, the short term target is the 1057.50 major Gann square, a failure to....

It held the swing point for the week and fell just shy of the short term target. The low since the last update was 1030.75 and the high was 1056.75. 

Corn

(ZCN25) 

July

From last week,

It made a new low this week and had one minor close below 78.6% at 443.00, so this will again be the key level for the next week. We will still be looking for 78.6% the other way longer term. The Below remains the same and the Above has been lowered slightly. 

Use 443.00 as the swing point for the week again.

 The low since the last update was 442.75 and the rally from it has been 19 cents so far, we continue to look for 38.2% above.

Wheat

(ZWN25) 

July

From last week,

The break from 23.6% (549.00) sent the market to a new low with all but today closing below the 528.25 major Gann square and swing point for the week. This level will again be the key level for next week. The Below remains the same and the Above has moved down.

Use 528.25 as the swing point for the week again.

 Above it, the short term target is 38.2% back to the 2/19/25 high at 556.25, this is also a major Gann square, taking this....

The rally this week from the 528.25 swing point and major Gann square hit the short term target of 38.2% at 556.25 which is also a major Gann square. This will be the key level for the next week.

Live Cattle

(LEM25) 

June

From last week,

The rally above the 213.50 major Gann square failed to get to the  221.11 major Gann square and yesterday's reversal has already hit the tightest retracement of 23.6% back to the 3/4/25 low at 210.65 and this will be the key level for the next week. 

Use 210.65 as the swing point for the week.

 Above it, holding the tightest retracement of 23.6% back to the 3/4/25 low would be a very strong sign and a new high can quickly follow. The short term target is....

The low on the setback was 210.62 and there has been a $4.00 rally so far, we are still looking for the short term target.

Lean Hogs

(HEM25) 

June

From last week,

The $4.00 rally from 96.70 has yet to make a new high for the move, but we will continue to look for this to happen based on the ONE44 38.2% rule, 96.70 will again be the key level for the next week. Without a new high all of the Above/Below remain the same.

Use 96.70 as the swing point for the week again.

 Above it, holding a 38.2% retracement keeps the short term trend positive and it can send this market to a new high. The short term target is ....

It remains in a positive position above the 38.2% retracement and we continue to look for the short term target.
