Agribusiness ETF Should See Upside Continuation
by Mike Paulenoff

One sector that I continue to follow closely is agribusiness, which technically argues for upside continuation from a base-like pattern structure that has developed since early October. A hurdle of key resistance at 29.25/75 in the Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (AMEX: MOO) should trigger upside continuation towards 35.00-36.00 thereafter.

Perhaps such a move in the MOO will be a reflection of global food deficits going forward and/or weather-related crop failures that enable agribusiness names. Whatever the case, as long as the MOO remains above its upturning 50 DMA (now at 25.43), I will be "friendly" to the sector.
