Bookmark and Share

LIVE CATTLE:  Apr

With the late session break in the cattle market today's resistance will move down to $94.15.  Opening below upper momentum of $93.77 could pressure trade early down to the wide area of support from $93.50-25.  Closing below $93.25 would turn the market over for a larger correction.  Pushing back above $94.15 will then again allow a move back up to $94.60. 

Support: 93.77 & 93.25     Resistance: 94.15 & 94.60     Long Term Trend: Up above 92.95      Short Term Trend: Up above 94.57

Upper Momentum:  93.77        Lower Momentum: 92.02

FEEDER CATTLE:   March

If the March feeders open below $101.80 it would be possible to see a continuation correction down to $100.60.  Upper resistance has move down to $102.10, so opening above this would allow a bounce back to $102.62.  Expect continued sideways trade. 

Support:  101.80 & 101.25      Resistance: 102.10 & 102.62     Long Term Trend: Up above 101.95    Short Term Trend: Down below 103.00

Upper Momentum: 102.50       Lower Momentum: 101.27             

CORN:   May

May corn could never maintain below 365 yesterday, but could work down to 360 in the near term.  Near term bounces should hold below 366-367, pushing above this area will open the door for potential rallies that will test 370 and 376.  Only closing above 376 would turn the market back to a more bullish chart pattern.  Breaking 363 or opening below this area allows a move to 360. 

Support: 365, 363, & 360     Resistance: 366, 367, & 370     Long Term Trend: Down below 378      Short Term Trend: Down below 380

Upper Momentum: 385      Lower Momentum: 372

Hogs:  Apr

The April hogs consolidated most of yesterday's session.  Again today below $73.00 the market looks slightly negative with chances of pushing down to $72.00.  Moving back above $73.00 today resumes the current bull trend with targets again up at $73.90-$74.30.  Until the market moves above $74.30 or below $72.00 then we could see more sideways action. 

Support: 72.55 & 72.00     Resistance: 72.80 & 73.30     Long Term Trend: Up above 73.00      Short Term Trend: Down below $74.00

Upper Momentum: 73.42      Lower Momentum: 71.27
