Corn vs Crude 🌽 🛢️
The two had been tracking very closely over the course of the last month
However the last few days have seen a rather large divergence
Crude has put together a nice rally
While corn and the rest of grain markets continue to sell off
Corn broke some major support 🌽
But are we almost due for a bounce?
July corn broke below the 61.8% retracement from the highs down to contract lows.
That same $4.50 level was massive prior support.
We’re now approaching the last line of defense before contract lows. The trendline support that’s marked the last two lows.
The front month chart broke the uptrend we had respected since those harvest lows.
Now sitting at those lows from April and some possible support.
It is not a good sign that we broke key support.
As it suggests the overall trend has very possibly shifted lower as we head into harvest.
However, that doesn’t mean we can’t see a relief bounce here soon first.
With both charts essentially nearing some of their last areas of support.

Where do soybean bulls need to hold? 🌱
That $11.40 range is viewed as a huge level.
It was the lows from 2024.
It was the highs from last November.
It was right where this market bottomed in April.
Below that level there is some massive air beneath us and room for downside risk.
Each time we’ve traded between $10.80 and $11.40 we’ve either rallied right through or fell right through. Leaving a pocket of air.

Bulls need corn to bounce here 🌽
Front month corn has been in an upward channel since those harvest lows back in August
Currently sitting right at the bottom of the channel we’ve respected for months
If we’re going to bounce.. this would be where we’d want us to do so
As if we fail to hold $4.50 and the uptrend it could definitely open up further downside
The $4.50 level lines up with the key support on the July contract as well (post below)

Make or break level for corn 🌽
If we’re going to bounce.. bulls want it be here
$4.50 gives back 61.8% of the highs all the way down to contract lows
Not only that, this level has been major support countless times
We found life here last fall and it’s exactly where this market bottomed back in April
Failure to hold this level could open the door lower

China’s $17B Ag Promise: Is Corn the Sleeper?
Everyone hears “China” and thinks soybeans.
But the White House says the new $17B/year ag commitment is in addition to the October soybean commitments.
So where does the extra $17B go?
My guess:
Corn/feed grains
Sorghum
DDGs/ethanol
Beef/poultry/pork
Cotton
Wheat
Specialty ag products
If soybeans are already spoken for, corn may be the sleeper market nobody is talking about enough.
What do you think China actually buys?
China has agreed to buy at least $17 billlion of US ag products annually through 2028.
This does not include the 25 MMT of soybeans they agreed to buy.
Which would add another $10-11 billion. For a total of $27-28 billion.
Past US Ag Exports to China:
2025: $8.3 billion
2024: $27 billion
2023: $34 billion
2022: $41 billion
2021: $39 billion
No specific products were mentioned.
This is something to watch..just potential risk. Back in 2012- the "drought year" we slid lower over a buck-- into June 30-- then we exploded... food for thought...
🇨🇳China will purchase at least 25 million metric tonnes of U.S. soybeans in each of 2026, 2027, and 2028 🌱
Source: White House (2025-11-01)
Reality?
ZERO confirmed tonnes of Soybeans have been sold to China for the 2026/2027 Marketing Year🤷♂️
Some possible hidden bullish divergence in Dec corn on the RSI
The RSI made new lows. Prices did not
The highs back in March were marked with bearish divergence
Where prices were pushing higher yet the RSI was not
Currently sitting at those March highs trying to flip it into support

Tuesday we alerted a sell signal and hedge alert for soybeans 🌱
Why?
Here is a link to it: https://t.co/cxJcSuVniy
The China meeting and potential of a sell the news event was of course a large factor
However the charts were also showing some possible warning signs
For starters we tagged the golden fib
Which was 161.8% of the March lows up to the March highs
We were then showing some possible bearish divergence on the RSI
Prices were pushing higher. The RSI was not
That didn’t mean we had to stop there. It can just often be a sign upside momentum could be getting weaker

Brutal day for soybeans 🌱
Now approaching some important levels on the charts
July beans have given back 61.8% of the April lows
We’re sitting right at that prior resistance from the brutal range. Trying to turn it into support for the second time now
This level often tells us whether the market is starting to roll over or not. If we’re going to bounce.. bulls want it to be here
Failure to hold could bring us towards the red box. Gives back 50-61.8% of the March highs down to the Jan lows
Nov beans are still in a clear uptrend, currently trying to turn those March highs into our new floor

KC wheat is 45 cents off the recent highs from just a day ago following the limit up move from the USDA
Now trying to turn that old $7.00 resistance into our new floor
That same level gives back 61.8% of the rally
Break below that level and it could be a sign we’re in for some something deeper.. but until then this is an area where it might make sense to find some life
Important spot to hold for bulls

I'd call it Inflation Protection Opportunity:
Ethanol is going to catch up Diesel and Gasoline (helped even by new laws allowing the blend!)
Ethanol is made with Corn.
Corn #2 Future will be soon back at $800/bu !
i.e. +70% from now
