Highlights

  • Soybean futures remain under pressure and trade below key short- and medium-term moving averages on the H1 chart.
  • Bearish signals dominate across momentum indicators, with risk skewed to further downside and low intraday volatility.
  • Expected 2 to 3 day trading range is $1,288 to $1,303, with a break below support likely to trigger a bearish move.

Sustained selling momentum as technical signals turn negative

On the H1 chart, ZS remains below the MA-20 at USX1,306 and the MA-50 at USX1,312, while holding above the long-term MA-200 at USX1,190. Immediate resistance is identified at the Ichimoku Kijun level of USX1,308. Momentum readings are negative: MACD signals Sell, ADX is Neutral, RSI is at 37.15, CCI signals Sell, and Stochastic RSI is in Oversold territory. Bull/Bear Power continues to reflect selling dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator supports the ongoing downside pressure.

Downside risk prevails as support level becomes pivotal

Over the next 2 to 3 sessions, ZS is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band between USX1,288 and USX1,303. The predominant risk is for a further move lower, while any move higher would likely require a clean break above immediate resistance. If support at USX1,288 is lost, deeper declines could follow; otherwise, range-bound trading is favored as the base scenario.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Soybean Futures under pressure, with technical indicators reflecting ongoing seller dominance. He notes that price remains compressed below key short-term averages, and momentum readings do not yet suggest a reversal. According to Karapetjanc, the lack of supportive news or positive sentiment adds to the cautious tone for the near term. 'As long as USX1,288 holds, I expect range-bound action, but a sustained break below this level could open the door to sharper declines.'

Previously it was reported that China excluded soybeans from its latest tariff reduction list, maintaining a 10% tariff on U.S. imports and leaving market participants awaiting further policy clarity. With technical pressures intensifying and key moving averages remaining unbroken, traders should monitor for a decisive move below the USX1,288 support as a trigger for deeper downside risk in the near term.
