GRAINS: December corn futures closed up 19 1/2 cents
at $4.91 today. Prices closed near the session high today
and have now seen a strong rebound from Monday's low. The
key "outside markets" were in a bullish posture for corn
today as the U.S. dollar index was solidly lower, while
crude oil and the U.S. stock indexes were solidly higher.
There were rumors in the market today of potential
Russian demand for U.S. corn. Traders are gearing up for
Friday's USDA crop production report, which traders
reckon will be bullish for corn. Today's price action was
very important, as some near-term chart damage was
repaired. It does now suggest that Monday's low could be
the seasonal "harvest low" in corn. Key will be how the
corn market closes on Friday. A close near the weekly
high on Friday would suggest Monday's low was just a
"reaction low" in the overall price uptrend. A close near
the weekly low on Friday would hint that a near-term
market top is in place in the corn market. Corn bulls'
next upside price objective is to push and close prices
above major psychological resistance at $5.00 a bushel.
The next downside price objective for the bears is
pushing and closing prices below solid technical support
at this week's low of $4.54 1/4. First resistance for
December corn is seen at today's high of $4.93 1/2 and
then at $5.00. First support is seen at $4.86 and then at
$4.80. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 6.5

losses. The key "outside markets" were in a bullish

were solidly higher. Some fresh demand for U.S. soybeans
from China also helped boost the bean market today. A

next near-term upside technical objective for the soybean
bulls is pushing and closing November prices above
psychological resistance at $11.00 a bushel. The next
downside price objective for the bears is pushing and
