Agricultural prices were in a strong rally from 2006 - 2008. Prices formed a double top in the first half of 2008, and then dropped hard in the third quarter. Now the upward trend line that started in 2006 is providing upside resistance to prices. Also note the following:

-- The SMAs are in a bearish alignment with the shorter SMAs below the longer SMAs, but...

-- The 10 day SMA is now moving higher

-- Prices found strong resistance at the 20 week SMA

-- The weekly SMA has been falling for the entire year as has the MACD, but

-- The MACD may be bottoming right now
