Livestock Commentary
February live cattle closed down $0.77 at $85.05 yesterday. Prices closed near the session low yesterday. No serious chart damage occurred yesterday but the bulls did fade and now need to show fresh power soon. A four-week-old uptrend is still in place on the daily bar chart, but now just barely. Bulls' next upside price objective is to push prices above solid technical resistance at last week’s high of $86.80. The next downside technical objective for the bears is pushing and closing prices below solid technical support at the October low of $84.25. First resistance is seen at $85.50 and then at yesterday’s high of $85.80. First support is seen at yesterday's low of $85.00 and then at $84.50.
Wyckoff's Market Rating: 5.0.
