2. Technical Indicator Signals

Trend Momentum:

Moving Averages: Price fell below the 5-day moving average (668 cents) but remained above the 30-day moving average (655 cents), indicating a weakening short-term trend without a confirmed breakdown.

MACD: Daily red histogram shortens, DIF and DEA lines are close together near zero, indicating diminishing bullish momentum.

RSI (14-day): dropped from 58 to 49 (neutral zone), signaling unclear directional guidance.

Key Patterns:

679.50 cents forms a double-top resistance (coinciding with the May 12 high of 680.25 cents);

663.25 cents touches the top of the April trading range, forming initial support.

3. Key Support and Resistance Levels

Support Levels:

663.00-663.50 cents (today’s low & April’s top of the trading range): a break below could lead to a test of 655 cents (30-day moving average & psychological level);

650 cents (200-day moving average): medium-term bullish lifeline.

Resistance Levels:

670 cents (5-day moving average & intraday rebound resistance): a breakout could ease selling pressure;

680 cents (double-top strong resistance): requires significant positive news to overcome.

4. Market Outlook

Short-term (1-3 days):

Bearish Factors:

India’s Export Resumption: Restart of wheat exports after four years increases global supply expectations;

Technical Selling Pressure: The 679-680 cents double-top structure triggers stop-loss selling from bulls.

Potential Supports:

Black Sea Tensions: Disruptions in Ukraine port transportation could trigger short covering;

Weather Speculation: Drought monitoring in North America shows low soil moisture in key producing regions.

Medium-term (1-2 weeks):

Bull-Bear Battle Focus:

Global Supply and Demand Balance: USDA monthly report may cut production estimates (especially watch for EU reduction);

US Dollar Trends: US Treasury yields breaking above 4.6% strengthen the dollar, suppressing commodity prices.

Directional Path:

If support holds at 663 cents: potential rebound to test 670-675 cents;

If breaks below 655 cents: could fall sharply to 640-645 cents (March lows).

Long-term Logic:

Climate Risk Premium: El Niño intensity exceeds expectations (NOAA warning), threatening Southern Hemisphere planting season;

Substitute Demand: Corn/soybean price advantage diminishes, possibly increasing feed wheat consumption.

Trading Strategies:

Short Positions: Short on rallies below 668 cents, target 655 cents, stop-loss at 675 cents;

Long Positions: Only aggressive traders may lightly buy on dips around 660-663 cents, with a stop-loss at 658 cents.
