Soybean futures down 0.11% at USX1,180

Highlights

ZS/USX continues to face pronounced short- and medium-term selling pressure, trading below key moving averages, while maintaining long-term support.
Bearish momentum dominates, reflected in strong sell signals from most indicators, though some oscillators suggest potential short-term fluctuation risk.
The projected trading range for the next two to three sessions is USX1,168 to USX1,192, with downside probability at 67%.

Mixed momentum signals as sellers test short-term resistance

ZS/USX is trading below both its MA-20 (USX1,183) and MA-50 (USX1,188) on the H1 chart, while remaining above the MA-200 (USX1,146) on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun at USX1,184 acts as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators provide a mixed but broadly negative signal: MACD points to a Strong Sell, ADX is Neutral, RSI stands at 45.66 with a Sell bias, CCI remains in Sell territory, and the Stoch RSI registers as Overbought—this combination reflects dominant selling pressure with scope for a technical rebound. Meanwhile, Bull/Bear Power is Oversold, highlighting the strength of sellers intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator is Neutral, offering no confirmation of the trend.

Range-bound outlook as downside risk outweighs near-term upside

Over the next two to three sessions, ZS is expected to consolidate within a volatility band of USX1,168 to USX1,192. There is a 33% probability of an upward move and a 67% chance of a decline. The baseline scenario is for price to remain contained in this corridor. A break above the USX1,184 resistance could lead to a push toward the upper end of the forecast range, while a fall below support levels may accelerate declines toward the lower boundary.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Soybean Futures (ZS) under dominant selling pressure as momentum indicators remain negative and price trades below key short- and medium-term averages. He notes that technical signals show a cautious scenario, with room for consolidation between USX1,168 and USX1,192. Kharitonov believes the lack of supportive news and mixed momentum increase downside risks. "Unless USX1,184 is decisively reclaimed, I will stay defensive on ZS."

Earlier, analysts noted that Soybean Futures were facing persistent downside risks amid prevailing technical weakness and sector pressures. The latest mixed momentum signals and intraday volatility reinforce a cautious stance, with traders advised to monitor for a potential breakout above resistance at USX1,184 or a move below USX1,168 for indications of a directional shift.
