The CRB has fallen to a significant Fibonacci retracement level. Look for a bounce near here.

Security: CRY 0
Position: Buy

Last Monday (October 6, 2008), I reported that the CRB index was approaching a convergence of support zones around 328 that "may help the CRB from falling any further." They did not.

The CRB briefly paused at the support level I pointed out and then proceeded to plummet through it. A little over a week later, the CRB is now at another important support level near 293.

There are two important points of support that the CRB is currently at. First is a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level drawn between the start of the commodity bull market in November 2001 to its recent top in June/July (Figure 1). This is a very long-term support line that should be of major importance. Second, the CRB is approaching the green support line drawn from the major January 2007 bottom.

While this 293 level is not likely to hold for the long term, it could prove to be a major bottom for the next few weeks to months (Figure 2). Should it not hold, then look out for the next major support level around 250.
