Livestock Futures Commentary
April live cattle closed up $0.45 at $90.85 yesterday. Prices closed near mid-range yesterday and also closed at a fresh three-week high close. The key "outside markets" were in a mostly bullish posture for cattle yesterday, as the U.S. dollar index was weaker, while crude oil and gold prices were higher. Bulls have the near-term technical advantage. Bulls' next upside price objective is to push and close prices above solid technical resistance at the January high of $91.35. The next downside technical objective for the bears is pushing and closing prices below solid technical support at last week's low of $88.55. First resistance is seen at yesterday's and last week's high of $91.20 and then at $91.35. First support is seen at yesterday's low of $90.40 and then at $91.10.
Wyckoff's Market Rating: 6.5.
