TECHNICALS-CBOT corn may test support at $4.60-3/4

SINGAPORE, March 12 (Reuters) - CBOT corn CK26 may test a support at $4.60-3/4 per bushel, as it faces a strong resistance at $4.64-1/4.

From the perspective of a retracement analysis, the 61.8% retracement generally works as a strong barrier. Considering that the fall from $4.76 adopted a five-wave mode, the $4.64-1/4 level might be the endpoint of a wave (b), the second wave of a zigzag from $4.76.

A break above $4.64-1/4 could lead to a gain into the $4.68-3/4 to $4.71-3/4 range. On the daily chart, the resistance at $4.64 is working together with the one at $4.64-1/4, likely to stop the fall and trigger a correction.

Increasing the chance of a correction is the possible completion of a wave C from $4.26.
