Despite being in the red so far in the current trading session, Soybeans peaked above its 21 day Simple Moving Average around $1,346.56 — typically an early indicator of a new bullish trend beginning to emerge. Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $1,215, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that the Soybeans future is trading below its fair value. CME Soybeans could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $16.08 away from $1,171.67. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
