Whatever the market might be,

THIS IS THE MOST BEARISH CHART I KNOW…

 

It is also, as I have previously stated, , the highest probability chart set-up that I believe you ever get in futures trading. While it definitely does not mean it will work, this is a trade I will take every time I see it.

 

The Corn market has basically been trading sideways for the past 10 months. During that time, my impression has been that just about every analyst and farmer in the United States has been dead certain that Corn has bottomed. And as a function of that essentially BULLISH opinion, farmers have been holding back on selling the crop they harvested last fall in hopes of higher prices.

 

The market has not cooperated however, and as of the latest USDA report, with US farmers STILL holding 3 Billion Bushels of Corn from last fall’s harvest (the equivalent of 600,000 futures contracts)…and with the USDA projecting a RECORD 15.8 Billion Bushel Corn crop harvest this coming fall, I SEE THIS AS THE RECIPE FOR AN OUTRIGHT COLLAPSE IN CORN PRICES OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

 

Simply to make room in their storage bins for that harvest, and simply because they need the money, and because falling prices DO induce fear of losing more money, I DO THINK FARMERS ARE BEGINNING TO UNLOAD THOSE MASSIVE CORN STOCKS AND PRICES ARE ABOUT TO GO AS STRAIGHT DOWN AS ANYTHING EVER DOES IN THIS BUSINESS…and in doing so, verify one more time my belief  that THE MARKETS ALWAYS GO FURTHER THAN ANYONE EVER THINKS POSSIBLE.

 

 

Whether you want to call it panic selling or not, NEW LOWS AND SHARPLY DECLINING PRICES DO INDUCE MORE AND MORE SELLING…

 

Here are my recommendations…

 

And this can be done in tandem with the 410 put…

 

 

I’ve been waiting on this…and admittedly have looked for it to break through these SIGNIFICANT new contract lows more than once…and then have watched it bounce back up…However, with the time of the year, and a monster crop in the ground…AND the fact that ongoing sentiment in this market, for months on end, has been almost unanimously geared towards, “When to buy it!,” and having seen these, “It’s bottomed!” situations truly countless times, my experience has been that…sooner or later…it DOES bust through the lows…and really DOES just then get racked…really DOES just go straight ass down…And I THINK WE ARE THERE…THAT THIS IS A GREAT “JUST GO WITH IT’ TRADE…THAT THIS HAS  NOT BEEN “BOTTOMING”…AND THE DIRECTION IS NOW DOWN. JUST GO WITH IT.

 

I’m not being naïve, and it does not mean I will be right, but I say: I honestly don’t think it gets any simpler, or easier, than this.

 

One of my own trading reminder quotes: There is nothing that matters more than the chart. Anything you hear, or read, or feel is irrelevant to what the chart says, and generally, the direction it is POINTING.

 

If you see it the same way…Call me an get on some of this.

 

Thanks,

Bill

FUTURES TRADING IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. THEREFORE, CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOUR TRADING EXPERIENCE WILL BE SIMILAR TO PAST PERFORMANCE.
