Chart analysis
The #C-CORN technical analysis of the price chart in daily timeframe shows #C-CORN,Daily is falling above the 200-period moving average MA(200), which is rising still. We believe the bearish momentum will continue as the price breaches below the lower Donchian boundary at 537.5. A pending order to sell can be placed below that level. The stop loss can be placed above 622.9. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved every day to the next fractal high, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
