December Corn Futures Technical Analysis (April 25, 2018)

Previously I covered a back of the envelope fundamental picture of the new crop corn market and basically concluded there was strong support around a $4.06 price and potential to go higher depending on final harvested acres and yield. By coincidence, December corn closed that same day around 4.06 and picked up another 6 cents as of this writing.

With the RSI below 70 there is indication that this isn't overbought and the MACD indicates the beginnings of a bullish crossover. Today's movement has been attributed by some to really dry conditions pressuring the Brazillian 2nd crop corn as well as reduction of Chinese tarriffs on grain sorghum.
