Soybeans made an initial breakout above its 200 day Simple Moving Average at $1,471, a potential indicator of a newly emerging bullish phase. The Soybeans future's lower Bollinger Band® is at $1,454.74, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers. Despite this, CME Soybeans could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at $1,478.83. Of course, crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems CME Soybeans might continue pointing upwards in the short term.
