Thoughts on $CORN and that 17.50 support
Been watching $CORN futures pretty closely lately, and that 17.50 level has been a real sticky point. We've seen a few rejections from the upside, and it felt like it was starting to act more as resistance than support for a while there. But looking at the daily, the bounce yesterday and the hold today around 17.64 after testing just below 17.605 is interesting. It's not a huge move, but it suggests there's still some underlying bids coming in at these lower ranges. I'm not calling for a massive rally, but if it can hold this 17.50-17.60 zone through the end of the week, it might signal a bit more consolidation rather than a continued drift down. The invalidation for me would be a clear close below 17.50 on increased volume; that would suggest the bears are truly taking over that area.
I'm with you on that 17.50 level being critical. It looked like it was losing its strength, but yesterday's action definitely suggests there's still some underlying buying interest. Curious to see if it can build on this momentum or if we're in for another test of that floor.
