Chart Analysis

On the daily timeframe the SOYB: D1 is testing the 200-day moving average MA(200), which is rising. We believe the bullish momentum will continue after the price breaches above the upper boundary of Donchian channel at 905.3. This level can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to buy. The stop loss can be placed below the last fractal low at 885. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved every day to the next fractal low, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level (885) without reaching the order (905.3), we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
