Trend-focused traders would be interested to note that the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is below -100, meaning the market price is unusually low and below its rolling moving average. Technical analysis indicates that a new, strong downtrend could be forthcoming with short positions favored. Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Corn's lower Bollinger Band® is at $581.37, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers. Chart analysis suggests the Corn future could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at $590.67. Of course, crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead.
All in all, the technical analysis suggests CME Corn has no clear-cut direction.
