Fundamental Analysis and Insights

Technical Analysis
 Soybean NCDEX Spot prices settled with minor gains of INR 96 at INR 7777 mark while
staying subdued within previous weeks’ range during concluded week.
 Ongoing pullback from Oct’21 is finding resistance around the upper bounds of
corrective channel on the weekly chart coinciding with 50% Fibonacci retracement
levels- INR 8000. Profit taking is likely to emerge around the same suggesting mixed
bias for coming weeks.
 The said pullback has unfolded in two equal swings during Oct-Nov’21 ranging from
INR 5265-6750 and Feb’22 ranging from 6360-7950 and subdued within a single
channel implying a corrective structure and resumption of broader downtrend forth.
 On the weekly chart momentum front, Stochastic (9,3,3) has drifted higher in
overstretched region suggesting a potential negative turnaround in momentum with
limited upside potential. The Bollinger bands being penetrated marginally to the
upside are gradually turning flat suggesting any further directional move to be
preceded by sideways activity.
 The Average Directional Index (ADX-14) indicator measuring trend strength hovers
around 20 levels with negative bias (-DI> +DI) intact suggesting lack of directional bias
on immediate front.
 Hence, prices likely to remain subdued below INR 8000-8200 levels and exhibit
sideways to bearish directional bias within INR 7000-8000 levels in forthcoming
weeks. Such activity may weaken the pullback momentum suggesting revival of
broader downtrend eyeing a retreat back towards INR 6500-6350 levels in medium
term.
 On the broader front, lower highs and lower lows sequence still remains intact on
weekly chart indicating bearish sentiments in coming months towards Oct-21 swing
lows- INR 5500 levels and lower.

Concisely, prices are likely to resume the broader downtrend eyeing INR 7200-6500
levels initially bearing negative bias and any further upside to remain capped below
INR 8000-8200 levels in forthcoming weeks.
