Bears hold the upper hand in soya bean
The adjoining chart is a weekly chart of NCDEX soya bean. We can observe that soya bean broke the trading range on the upside and rallied smartly towards the crucial resistances. It faced resistance at the 20-weekly simple moving average and closed negative for the last week which indicates weakness to surpass the crucial resistance placed at the 20- and 40-weekly moving averages. It has also faced resistance at the downward sloping trend line (shown in blue colour) which will act as a key resistance going ahead. The weekly momentum indicator bears a positive crossover and we feel it will touch the equilibrium line which completes the pull-back
cycle. Our view on the agri-commodity remains bearish and we expect soya bean to trade weak going ahead. Our target on the downside are placed at Rs2,836, which is the weekly lower Bollinger Band. The stop loss should be trailed to Rs3,698, which is the high level of penultimate week.
