Highlights

ZS/USX trades above the 20-day moving average and remains above the long-term 200-day support, indicating longer-term stability.
Momentum indicators are mixed with overall bearish signals and weak trend strength, but intraday buying pressure remains evident.
Price is expected to fluctuate between USX1,166 and USX1,179 over the next 2 to 3 days, with a 78% chance of a downward move.

Bearish momentum persists as intraday buyers defy weak trend

ZS/USX trades above the MA-20 but remains below the MA-50, while comfortably holding above the long-term MA-200 at USX1,149. The Ichimoku Kijun level at USX1,174 serves as immediate resistance. On the indicator front, MACD shows Strong Sell, while ADX is Neutral, reflecting weak trend strength. RSI prints a neutral 49.07 and is currently marked Sell; Stoch RSI also reads Sell, CCI is Neutral, and Bull/Bear Power highlights an Overbought signal, with intraday buyers prevailing even as broader momentum skews bearish. Volatility is low, and the price trades near the session low, showing a notable divergence between lingering intraday buying and the overall momentum profile.

Fluctuation range narrows as breakout probability remains subdued

For the next two to three sessions, the expected price range is likely to remain between USX1,166 and USX1,179. The probability of an upward breakout is low at 22%. The base scenario sees price action fluctuating within this typical volatility band. A move above resistance at USX1,174 would activate a bullish scenario with renewed buying interest, while a drop below the USX1,166 support could accelerate losses and intensify short-term downside.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Soybean Futures locked in a low-volatility range, with conflicting signals from key momentum indicators. He notes the price action is stuck between short-term resistance at USX1,174 and support at USX1,166, while broader momentum leans bearish. He remains defensive due to lack of news catalysts and an overall weak trend profile. "Until USX1,174 resistance is cleared, I see little reason to expect a strong upward move in the short term."

Earlier, analysts noted that Soybean Futures faced persistent downside risk as bearish momentum and technical barriers limited recovery prospects. The latest market action reinforces this cautious stance, with traders advised to closely monitor the USX1,174 resistance and USX1,166 support as the immediate decision levels for potential breakout or further decline.
