March soybean oil closed lower on Monday as it consolidates some of the rally off December's low. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Tuesday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought and are turning neutral to bearish signaling that a short-term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 33.39 would signal that a short-term top has been posted. If March extends the rally off December's low, the 50-day moving average crossing at 34.12 is the next upside target. First resistance is last Friday's high crossing at 34.10. Second resistance is the 50-day moving average crossing at 34.12. First support is December's low crossing at 32.52. Second support is the 87% retracement level of the June-September-rally crossing at 32.44.
