SOYBEAN OIL - Due for Big Move Soybean oil futures are gearing up for a significant move. Since June 2026, price has been developing what appears to be a bull flag, with touchpoints at both the top and bottom forming within a triangular structure.

Soybean Oil (ZL1!) 1H: Trapping the Trendline Buyers 1. Buyer & Seller Psychology Analysis • The Retail Buyer Trap: Retail buyers are aggressively buying the touch of the ascending trendline and horizontal support at 71.78 (marked "Buyer"), expecting the uptrend to resume toward 74.46.
