Feeder Cattle
Technicals (August - Q)
August feeder cattle futures posted their second consecutive inside day (trading within the previous day's range). Despite the consolidation in the last two sessions, the RSI remains in oversold territory with a reading of 26.12, the lowest since last November, which was right before the last dip lower before posting a low on December 7th. The lowest RSI during that time frame was 24.68. Is the RSI a good enough reason to be Bullish from these levels, short answer is no. With that said, we continue to believe we could see some relief from these levels that may setup for another opportunity to the sell side for those with a bearish bias or for those that need to hedge. The CME CVOL index, a measure of volatility, is at its highest levels since the Spring, it would be nice to see that subside which could help options become a little less expensive. The chart below includes a set of Fibonacci retracements from this year's range. Not illustrated is a Fib retracement from the recent selloff, the halfway back point on that would come in near 249.15.
Resistance: 245.925-246.675***, 249.15-250.92****
Pivot: 244.275
Support:240.775-240.925****, 237.80-237.97** 229.50****
