Technical Snapshot
Live Cattle
October live cattle futures staged an impressive rally on Friday, trading back near the top end of the August range. Resistance remains intact, we see that as 145.975-146.25. A breakout and close above this pocket could spur another leg higher, with the next and last meaningful resistance pocket coming in from 147.35-147.50. This pocket represents the contract highs from April. We remain skeptical of a bigger directional move, but it appears outside markets are taking on the "
risk-on" attitude which could be supportive to cattle.
