Is the recent pullback a buying opportunity for wheat?

May Chicago wheat continued to bleed out yesterday, marking its lowest price since September 28th, 2021. That has brought the RSI to 29.63, which is considered to be “oversold”.

Weekly Export Inspections

Black Sea Grain Deal (or No Deal)

Outside Markets

  • Equity markets are fractionally higher, crude oil i2 $1.23 higher to $76.91, and the US Dollar is little changed as it flirts with significant resistance.

The RSI is at the lowest level sense making those lows in December, 636 3/4. There’s not a lot of significant support below there until you get towards the July 26th gap, 595 1/4-599 1/2.
