Feeder Cattle
Technicals (August): Feeder cattle gaped higher which was to be expected with the weaker grain trade. That gap is largely intact with today’s trade, except now it will act as support and not resistance. With that said, the fell flat against our resistant pocket above the old gap, we’ve had that defined as 175.50-176.125. This pocket represents previously important price points, along with the 100 and 200 day moving average. If corn futures are able to stabilize for the rest of the week as we head into options expiration, we could see the market consolidate back towards trendline support and the 50-day moving average.
Resistance: 175.50-176.125**, 176.80-177.075***
Pivot: 173.75-174.02
Support: 170.975 -171.65****, 169.40**, 167.325**
