Technicals (October): For the week, October live cattle were down .775, trimming the gains for the month to 3.45. Despite the lower price action last week, the 100-day moving average was able to hold, that comes in at 141.86. A break and close below here could take us to the 50 and 200 day moving average, 140.225-140.90. Within this pocket is trendline support from the June lows. Our short-term bias is pretty neutral, but a pullback to this support pocket would likely have us looking to lean more on the bullish side.
