Look for sell stops just below technical support at the overnight low of $70.40, and then more sell stops just below support at the June low of $70.10. Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 4.0

GRAINS

Prices were mostly firmer in overnight electronic trading. Corn was steady and wheat and soybeans were slightly higher. Wheat has made a strong rebound as it appears near-term lows are in place. However, wheat is short-term overdone on the upside and could see a pullback as soon as today. Corn bulls are trying to put in a near-term low, but need to show power soon. Soybeans are still the weak sister of the complex. Seasonal studies do favor the corn and bean bears this time of year, as harvest is set to begin for those crops.
