Wheat needs to get above 565.00 to turn the short term trend positive. This is 38.2% back to the 2/18/25 high. When using the ONE44 38.2% rule,

38.2% is the single most important retracement and is the level we use for the "Golden Rule". This rule being, " any market that is going to keep its current trend must hold 38.2%". As long as it does the trend will continue and it should make new highs/lows from that retracement.

The past week has been stopped by 38.2% (565.00) and failing to get above it keeps the short term trend negative and a new low can follow. When you look back at the 10/2/24 high it hit a 38.2% retracement back to the contract high at 640.00, it did have one close above it and this is acceptable. The break from that area took it to a new low as we would have been looking for. The high on 2/18/25 fell 4 cents short of the new 38.2% level keeping the long term trend negative and again a new low followed.

NOW,

Use 565.00 (38.2%) as the swing point for the week.

Above it, look for the combination retracements at 586.00, this 23.6% back to the contract high and 61.8% back to the 2/18/25 high.

Below it, look for 78.6% back to the 3/4/25 low at 537.00. Failing to make a new low in the area of a 78.6% retracement can be the start of the next Bull move, per the ONE44 78.6% rule.
