Live Cattle
Technicals (August): August live cattle were able to defend our pivot pocket from 132.65-132.75 which heled prices recover some of Monday’s losses in yesterday’s session. Though encouraging, it is so far marked down as another failure against our resistance pocket from 134.40-135.10. If the Bulls can chew through this pocket with come conviction it could open the door for an extension towards the 100-day moving average, 136.65.
