Yep, it's a bear market rally.  DOESN'T KNOW QUITE WHAT TO DO. Go UP or
go Down.  Choppy.  Not impulsive like you or me.
 
But would like to  add a fundamental or two.  Harvest will begin in 2 to
3 weeks for beans.  To put it bluntly, harvest pressure puts a downward
seasonality on prices.  So far the seasonality of beans have been right
on.  Spring high, slide down, rebound before harvest and another slide
down.  Moore's research has some good statistical work in seasonality.  

 All fundamentals are in line for a record harvest due to record
acreages and high yields.  The pipeline for raw beans will be filled
straight from the fields.  Demand probably will not be an issue until
the initial harvest selling has subsided.  The usual fundamental flip
flop of rational for market movements.

Also, an Elliottwave count of mine shows beans making a corrective move
up.  The market must then move down impulsively if the count is correct.
It is just another indication for a short situation coming up soon.

An Added note for posterity: To be long going into harvest scares the
shit out of me.  It happens just too rarely and in my mind is a BIG
gamble.
