CBOT September wheat may break a support at $5.31-1/2 per bushel and fall more to the next support at $5.25-1/2, as suggested by its wave pattern and a Fibonacci ratio analysis. The support is provided by the 223.6 percent Fibonacci projection level of an upward wave C, which is the third wave of a three-wave cycle from $4.30-3/4. This wave could have completed, as indicated by the duration and the depth of the fall from the July 5 high of $5.74-1/2.
The fall consists of three waves. The third wave, labelled c, is capable of travelling to $5.25-1/2, its 100 percent Fibonacci projection level. Once wheat drops to $5.25-1/2, a head-and-shoulders pattern will be confirmed, which suggests a highly bearish target. Resistance is at $5.38, a break above which could lead to a gain into the range of $5.43 to $5.48.
