Posted: Aug. 15, 2023, 8:10 a.m.

Live Cattle

Technicals (October- V)

October live cattle futures are flirting with trendline support from the May lows.  A failure to defend this could trigger additional long liquidation with the next objective coming in at the low end of recent range, 178.62-179.10.  The market isn't "in trouble" until that pocket gives way.  

Resistance: 183.72-184.35***, 185.75***

Pivot:  181.52-182.17 

Support: 178.62-179.10***, 176.20-177.25****
