These prices mark the 33% and 50% retracement levels of the previous uptrend from $3.44 and the recent high weekly close.

SRW Wheat (New-crop Futures): The Chicago July 2017 contract closed at $4.68 1/4, up 6 1/4 cents for the week. The secondary (intermediate-term) trend is sideways-to-up with resistance at the 4-week high of $4.88 3/4. A test of this resistance could pull weekly stochastics above the overbought level of 80%, setting the stage for a possible bearish crossover.
