Corn and Beans; A Reaction in a New Bear Market!
By John Booth, Archer Financial Services
Corn futures prices ran-up from an oversold condition: a rally in a new bear market, after the top was established.
The target price for corn (based upon front-month futures), cited in my article written September 30, 2011, was 5.20. This is a price that I believe is very likely to be reached.
Recent private estimates came in with a slight increase in yield from last month. If next week's USDA yield estimate is higher, we'll see added downside pressure. Bearish traders will require some patience and stamina.

Soybeans remain bearish as well. The weekly chart says it all. The downside target is now 10.80.
This report is brief for a reason. Nothing more to say; just wait and protect with trailing stops. Note; major bottom in the U.S. dollar will help our short positions.
