Technical– March corn futures closed under our hinge zone from 674-676 Tuesday as a result of selling pressure. A check of our following support region, which was previously resistance, between 656 and 660, is now conceivable because of the softness that flowed over from the previous day’s weak close. Until the Bulls can break out over trendline resistance, our inclination will probably stay pessimistic.
