LIVESTOCK: October live cattle closed up $0.25
at $115.75 today. Prices closed near mid-range and
saw short covering following strong selling
pressure late last week. A bearish USDA cattle-on-
feed report issued Friday afternoon did limit
buying interest today. A bear flag or bearish
pennant pattern may now be forming on the daily bar
chart. Serious near-term technical damage has been
inflicted recently. Bears have the overall near-
term technical advantage. The cattle bulls' next
upside price breakout objective is to push and
close prices above solid technical resistance at
$118.50. The next downside technical breakout
objective for the bears is pushing and closing
prices below solid technical support at the July
low of $114.25. First resistance is seen at today's
high of $116.22 and then at $117.00. First support
is seen at today's low of $115.25 and then at last
week's low of $114.85. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 4.0
