TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, KNOWLEDGE AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES. 

OPTIONS PLAY: Wheat Keeps On, Keep'n On

WHEAT FUTURES have continued higher, but in my opinion must get through the $6.77/bushel area before the market can rally to new highs.

MY ANALYSIS

Fundamentally, with reports of supply concerns in the Black Sea region and buyers out of Japan, Nigeria, Canada, Egypt and the Phillipines WHEAT FUTURES could continue higher.

Technically, I see WHEAT FUTURES in a SUPER-TREND higher indicated by both the 20 period moving average and the 9 period moving average almost pointing straight up AND the market holding above those moving averages. See daily chart below. For more charts and studies go to http://www.markethead.com/.
