Highlights

ZS/USX faces sustained short- and medium-term selling pressure, trading below major moving averages on the hourly chart.
Momentum indicators signal pronounced bearish sentiment and an oversold market, with sellers maintaining dominance intraday.
Price is expected to remain in a USX1,208–USX1,226 range over the next several sessions, with a high probability of further downside.

Oversold pressures intensify as sellers dominate momentum

ZS/USX is trading below both the MA-20 (USX1,239) and MA-50 (USX1,242) on the hourly chart, while remaining above the MA-200 (USX1,144) on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun level at USX1,234 marks immediate resistance and a reference point for near-term price moves. On the momentum side, the hourly MACD and ADX both point to a sell bias. A deeply oversold condition is signaled by the RSI at 22.05, supported by similar indications from the Stoch RSI and CCI, while Bull/Bear Power and the Awesome Oscillator both highlight dominant intraday seller pressure.

Downside risk elevated as range-bound scenario persists

Over the next two to three sessions, the price range for ZS is expected to remain between USX1,208 and USX1,226, reflecting the typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability for an upward breakout is assessed as very low, while the likelihood of further downside moves is considered very high should support at the lower end fail. Baseline scenario remains sideways trading within this corridor, with a bullish reversal requiring a breakout above the immediate resistance level.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the technical picture for Soybean Futures (ZS) as firmly bearish in the near term. Price is below key moving averages, with momentum and oscillators confirming strong seller pressure. He believes a sideways range between USX1,208 and USX1,226 is the central scenario, with further losses likely if lower support gives way. "Until ZS reclaims USX1,234, I see no case for buying and expect sellers to stay in control."

Earlier, analysts noted that soybean futures were exhibiting mixed momentum but retained a modestly positive tilt, with consolidation expected. With the technical picture now deteriorated and intraday downside momentum dominating, traders should closely monitor for a breakdown below the current support band, which could trigger additional selling pressure in the near term.
