Technicals (August): It was more of the same for live cattle, trading on both sides of the 100-day moving average for the fourth consecutive session. If the Bulls can chew through resistance from 137.90-137.95, we could (finally) see an extension into the April 25th gap, 138.75-140.275. On the support side of things, 134.85-135.40 is the pocket the Bulls need to defend. This pocket represents previously important price points, along with the 50 and 200 day moving average. A break and close below that pocket would be a dagger in the heart for the Bull camp as it could spur a retracement back to the 132 area.
