Live Cattle
Technicals (August): August live cattle gaped higher on the open as the outside markets showed signs of live. The move higher filled the Monday morning gap and then some. The market finished the session a hair above the upper end of our resistance pocket, 136.625. If the Bulls can continue to defend this, we could see a move back above last week’s highs, 137.90-137.95. Above that pocket and we likely extend into the giant gap from April 25th, 138.75-140.275. On the support side of things, 134.85-135.35 is the pocket the Bulls will want to defend.
