Will cattle futures respond favorably to last Friday’s Cattle on Feed report?

Live Cattle

Technicals (February – G)

There was some concern last week that we could see another bearish surprise in the monthly Cattle on Feed report.  Going into the report, we thought that a neutral report could have a bullish reaction.  This report was a hair more friendly than neutral; we will soon find out if the market does in fact see this is bullish. If the Bulls can chew through our pivot pocket from 180.325-181.00, we could see the buying accelerate prices higher. 

Resistance: 182.00-182.50**, 184.625 -185.00**, 186.275**

Pivot: 180.325-181.00 

Support: 175.85-176.55***

Feeder Cattle

Technicals (January – F)

January feeder cattle futures chopped around and consolidated last week as market participants trade more cautiously with the uptick in volatility over the last month +.  Resistance to start the week comes in from 230.70-231.42.   If the Bulls can clear this hurdle, we could see an extension of the recovery towards 233.37-234.95.

Resistance: 230.70-231.42***, 233.37-234.95***

Pivot:  227.425 

Support: 223.625**

Lean Hogs

Technicals (December – Z)

December lean hogs finished the week just a hair below the low end of our pivot pocket which we’ve outlined as 70.00-70.25.  A failure to defend this pocket to start the week could keep pressure on with the next support pocket not coming in until 67.32-67.80.

Resistance:  74.00-74.500***

Pivot: 70.00-70.25 

Support: 67.32-67.80***, 65.40-65.67**

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
