OATS Technical Analysis - OATS Trading: 2019-03-26
Weather deterioration in the US may reduce cereal yields
There is severe flooding in the Midwestern United States, which can damage cereal crops. Will oat prices rise?
Because of the severe flooding on the Missouri River, crops in Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska may be damaged. However, it should be noted that the European Union, Russia and Canada are the world leaders in oat production. The United States is the largest importer of this type of grain, while China and Mexico are in the second and third places.
On the daily timeframe, OATS: D1 breached up the resistance line of the falling channel and the 200-day moving average line. A number of technical analysis indicators formed buy signals. The further price increase is possible in case of a reduction in world harvest.
- The Parabolic Indicator gives a bullish signal.
- The Bollinger bands have narrowed, which indicates low volatility. The upper Bollinger band is titled upward.
- The RSI indicator is above 50. It has formed a positive divergence.
- The MACD indicator gives a bullish signal.
The bullish momentum may develop in case OATS exceed their last high at 281.5. This level may serve as an entry point. The initial stop loss may be placed below the two last fractal lows, the lower Bollinger band, the 200-day moving average line and the Parabolic signal at 258.5. After opening the pending order, we shall move the stop to the next fractal low following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the potential profit/loss to the breakeven point. More risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop level (258.5) without reaching the order (281.5), we recommend to close the position: the market sustains internal changes that were not taken into account.
