SINGAPORE, Aug 22 (Reuters) -The CBOT soybean November contract SX24 is biased to retest support at $9.73-3/4 per bushel, as it faces resistance at $9.82-3/4.
The contract failed a few times to overcome this barrier. The failure seems to be due to the completion of a wave C from the Aug. 16 low of $9.55, which could be divided into five smaller waves.
The wave d ended around $9.70, which serves as a target. A break above $9.82-3/4 could trigger a strong gain towards $9.97-1/2.
On the daily chart, a projection analysis on the wave c from $11.33-3/4 reveals resistance at $9.83-1/2, which is close to the one at $9.82-3/4 on the hourly chart.
The bounce seems to be suffering from a weak momentum around the resistance at $9.83-1/2. A fall towards $9.52-1/2 looks more likely than a rise towards $9.93-1/2.
