Dec Wheat Bullish Gartley Re-entry - Update 3



Today we got the "Grain Stocks" report. I discussed this in the previous post and a Tweet I sent out this morning at 8:47am ET:

"Big Grains report named "Grain Stocks" coming out 12:00pm ET. Could move ZC_F Corn, ZS_F  Soybeans, ZW_F Wheat markets. Be careful."

Now that we can see the report had a bullish effect on Wheat, we got back in right before the market close at 14:20 ET. Got a YW Futures mini-contract for 725 3/4.

See the Daily chart above. Again, I apologize for how busy the chart is. Just focus on the yellow annotations.

Notice we have a good size green bar on high volume. Had a little bit if a "Doji gap up" and a kind of a Morning Star pattern, but neither pattern is very well formed. We closed above all Moving Averages and made a new high since the D point swing low. The Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel are beginning to blossom outward. Stochastics are still innocuous in the mid-range. All this is constructive for completion of our Bullish Gartley pattern. I consider completion to be the .618AD point.

However, you can see today's high is right on the double parallel thin white lines, which represented a gap on a much older trade on a much lower time-frame. But now it also represents the heart of the multi-week congestion. This could cause us trouble by providing some resistance. My expectation though, is to cut right through it.

Continuing with our original target of 744 at the Gartley .618AD retracement on the Daily chart. Using a Stop just under today's Open of 711 1/4, at 710.

Summary of our 3rd trade in this daily Gartley pattern:

Entry: 725 3/4
Stop: 710
Target: 744

Risk: 725 3/4 - 710 = 15 3/4
Reward: 744 - 725 3/4 = 18 1/4
R:R = 18.25/15.75 = 1.16:1, not good but acceptable for this high probability setup.
