Live Cattle Futures ( LE1! ), H4 Potential for Bullish RiseType : Bullish rise
Resistance : 151.925
Pivot: 146.650
Support : 143.300
Preferred Case: On the H4, with price moving in an ascending trend and trading above the ichimoku indicator, we have a bullish bias that price may rise from the pivot at 146.650 where the previous swing high sits to the 1st resistance at 151.925 where the 161.8% projection sits
Alternative scenario: Alternatively, price could break pivot structure and drop to the 1st support at 143.300 where the swing low, overlap support and 23.6% retracement sits

What would you have on a date night? Chicken or steak? We’re going to go out on a limb here and say your date night budgets and recessionary risk are likely inversely correlated! As recessionary risk starts to weigh on investors’ minds, purse strings for date nights are likely to be tightened, which spells trouble for the date night classic, wine & steak pair.
Cattle Futures have joined the broad market selloff over the past few days as investors remain on edge. This recent move lower has confirmed a break below the neckline support for a double top pattern observed on a shorter timeframe, which is noted as a bearish reversal pattern.
On a longer timeframe, the decline has also broken the 4-month long uptrend for Live Cattle. With not much in the way of support, it’s quite possible to see another leg lower, similar to the pattern we observed in May 2022 where prices corrected around 4.5% once the uptrend was broken.
Using this as a reference, the 143 range marks the next potential stop for live cattle prices if we were to extrapolate a 4.5% decline from the breakout point.
The broken uptrend followed by the confirmation of the double top pattern spells trouble for live cattle prices. As such, we lean bearish on live cattle futures and will likely swap the date night steak for perhaps chicken…
Entry at 148.550, stop at 150.325. Target at 144.850 and 143.075.
