Live Cattle

Technicals (December – Z)

December live cattle futures officially filled the gap yesterday, an impressive comeback from where things were just about a week and a half ago. If the Bulls can keep the momentum going, the next upside objective would be the 50-day moving average at 186.28. Personally, I think this area represents a good opportunity for Bulls to reduce exposure and Bears to consider positioning.

Resistance: 186.275**

Pivot: 183.65-184.625

Support: 182.00-182.50***, 175.85-176.55***
