Cattle/Feeders Fall Right Into Key Support

Farming - Grain Elevator Processing Drying Plant

(LEM24) 

June Cattle has had a $9.00 break from the 185.47 major Gann square and swing point for the week. That break took it right into 38.2% of the 12/6/23 low and 3/14/24 low at 177.65. We now have a new swing point for the week.

From our last update,

Use the 185.43 major Gann square as the swing point for the week.

 Below it, look for 38.2% back to the 12/6/23 low at 177.65. Any setback that holds 23.6% at 181.00 keeps the trend extremely positive and new highs can follow......

The break failed to stop at 23.6% at 181.00 and today spiked down to 38.2% at 177.65. It did trade below it, but closed back above.


Use 177.65 as the swing point for the week.

Above it, holding a 38.2% retracement can send this market to new highs, per the ONE44 38.2% rule, however as always we will watch all the retracements on every move to see just how strong, or weak the market is regardless of the longer term target. The short term target is 78.6% back to the high at 184.50, keep in mind any failure to make a new high that comes in the 78.6% area can cause a sharp setback.

May Feeder Cattle had a $14.00 break from the 259.74 major Gann square and swing point for the week. The break took it right into the area of the 247.15 major Gann square and 38.2% back to the 12/7/23 low at 246.00 and this created a new swing point for the week.

From our last update,

May looks identical to April, it also hit 78.6% back to the contract high and we are looking for a bigger break from this area. It has been trading at the 259.75 major Gann square for all of March.

 Use 259.75 as the swing point for the week.

 Below it, look for the area of the 247.15 major Gann square and 38.2% back to the 12/7/23 low at 246.00. Any setback that holds 23.6% at 252.50 keeps the trend extremely positive and new highs can follow.

The 23.6% level failed to turn the market higher and today it had a hard break right into the area of the 247.15 major Gann square and 38.2% at 246.00.

Use 246.00 as the swing point for the week.

Above it, the situation is the same as Cattle, a rally from  38.2% can send this market to new highs, but we will watch 78.6% back to the 2/27/24 high at 259.74, which is also a major Gann square. The short term target is 259.74.
