Today is the last day of the bullish April live cattle seasonal. Baring a technical failure, that seasonal will make it 14 out of the last 16 years that it has played out. The next seasonal starts at the end of the month and will be for February futures. We remain upbeat on live cattle futures, especially if we continue to see the outside markets build a longer term low.
Seasonal Trend in Play (Last Day): April live cattle have been higher from October 5th-November 11th for 13 of the last 15 years.
Coming Soon: Seasonal Trend Alert for February Live Cattle that starts on November 27th. Contact us for more information.

January feeder cattle had been coiling, building up energy for a bigger directional move. That move yesterday was to the upside, with some help from a corn market that made multi-month lows. Resistance comes in from 182.435-182.825. The Bulls need to achieve consecutive closes above this pocket to encourage a bigger rally.
