Feeder Cattle Need to Defend Support to Keep Momentum
Feeder Cattle
Commitments of Traders Update: Friday’s CoT report showed Managed Money were net buyers of 3,798 futures/options contracts, through June 7th. This shrinks their net short position to 5,472. Broken down, that is 10,900 longs VS 16,372 shorts.
Technicals (August): August feeder cattle retreated on Friday after failing against technical resistance, which we had outlined in previous reports as 176.75-177.075. This pocket represents previously important price points and the 100-day moving average. If the Bulls can eventually chew through this pocket, it would open the door for a potential run back near 182. On the support side of things, our first pocket from 174.00-174.30 remains intact after holding on Friday’s pullback. If that pocket gives way, we could retrace to last week’s breakout point and the 50-day moving average, 171.50-171.925.
Resistance: 176.75-177.075***, 178.225**, 181.65-182.10****
Support: 174.00-174.30***, 172.90**, 171.50-171.925****
