Highlights

  • ZS/USX trades below short- and medium-term moving averages, signaling sustained seller pressure in the near term.
  • Momentum indicators confirm sellers remain dominant with weak momentum and oversold conditions in intraday trading.
  • Expected trading range for the next 2 to 3 days is USX1,264 to USX1,285, with a higher probability of a downward move.

Seller control deepens as technical pressures and low volatility converge

ZS/USX is below the MA-20 (USX1,281) and MA-50 (USX1,290) on the H1 chart, while it remains above the MA-200 (USX1,196) on the daily timeframe. Immediate resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at USX1,284. Momentum indicators are weak: MACD signals a strong sell, ADX is neutral, RSI stands at 38.77 reflecting a sell, Stoch RSI is neutral, and CCI also suggests selling pressure. Bull/Bear Power is oversold, confirming persistent seller dominance during the session. A session opening gap of 7.75 was observed, but price closed near today's low with low volatility.

Downside risk dominates as probability of rebound remains limited

Looking to the next 2–3 trading days, ZS/USX is expected to consolidate within a volatility band of USX1,264 to USX1,285. The probability of an upward move is estimated at 25%, making a downward scenario more likely. A break above USX1,284 would trigger a bullish move, while a fall below USX1,264 would confirm an extension of the current downturn.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, notes that Soybean Futures (ZS) remains pressured below key moving averages, with technical momentum clearly weak. He sees persistent seller dominance and low probability for a swift rebound as price struggles to break above resistance. Kharitonov stays cautious given the oversold conditions and lack of bullish confirmation. "I would remain sidelined unless ZS/USX decisively reclaims USX1,284 — sellers are still firmly in control here."

Previously it was reported that traders were increasing their activity in soybean futures markets amid heightened volatility and global crop uncertainty. This session's technical backdrop signals that the prevailing downside risk remains in focus, with the USX1,264 level emerging as a critical marker for potential further declines over the next several days.
