Futures Daily for Feb 22, 2013

Quiet Commodities! There are few movers today! Only cocoa and soybeans are showing good volatility!

Soft Soybeans: Is this the manifestation of a top? The USDA says it expects a record crop this year along with good global supply. The pattern on the daily chart (left) looks somewhat like a gravestone doji, so I'll be watching to see if prices continue to fall during Sunday evening action.
Cocoa Confirmed: Yesterday's buy signal was confirmed, and I'm watching for stronger follow-through. Today's 1% move higher is a good sign that cocoa has bottomed and will now move higher.
