Livestock Futures Commentary
April live cattle closed down $0.15 at $91.77 yesterday. Prices closed near mid-range yesterday in quieter trading. The key "outside markets" were in a mostly bearish posture for cattle yesterday, as the U.S. dollar index was firmer, while crude oil prices were lower. No significant chart damage has occurred recently in cattle. The cattle market bulls still have the overall near-term technical advantage. Prices are still in an 11-week-old uptrend on the daily bar chart. Bulls' next upside price objective is to push and close prices above solid technical resistance at the February high of $93.52. The next downside technical objective for the bears is pushing and closing prices below solid technical support at the January high of $91.35. First resistance is seen at yesterday's high of $92.15 and then at $92.50.
First support is seen at last week's low of $91.50 and then at $91.35.
Wyckoff's Market Rating: 7.0.
