Live Cattle Bulls Are Fading

Live Cattle Bulls Are Fading

October live cattle futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on Wednesday morning notched a fresh three-week low. Prices are presently in a two-month-old downtrend from the June contract high of $113.20. The live cattle bears have recently gained fresh downside near-term technical momentum. The next downside technical objective for the live cattle bears is pushing and closing October futures below solid chart support at the July low of $103.80. Below that price level lies strong technical support at the $102.00 area. For the cattle bulls to begin to gain some fresh upside near-term technical momentum, they will have to push and close October futures above solid overhead chart resistance at the $106.50 area. Above that lies strong chart resistance at $108.00. From a Fibonacci technical perspective, this week's price action has also favored the bearish camp for live cattle futures. October futures prices on Tuesday pushed and closed below the key 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the price move from the March 31 low of $97.55 to the contract high of $113.20, scored on June 20. That 50% retracement level is located at $105.35. The next downside Fibonacci objective for the cattle bears is to push October futures below the 61.8% retracement level of that same move, which is located at $105.55.
