Lone Star State: December Live Cattle
December Live Cattle The December Live Cattle market drifted lower in early week action to finish off 1.975 at 125.325. The three candle daily structure displays an evening star pattern with bearish implications. I currently believe that the run from the inner lows of 112.900 represents an extended 5th. This sequence should unfold in five wave. The evidence …
Todays action, Pre USDA thurs.
Good Afternoon, As we near this week’s USDA here is a look early in the week. Back month beans look much more constructive than the Nov contract as we await the end of harvest.

Both markets usually run inverse of gold and silver and the unrelenting …

In a rare occurrence my …

The dollar strength of late. The currency moves …
Major Mkts- Conditions, Olive set, let’s go.
Dec Cattle- this am we had an OLS play right up at limit. If you were a pit trader and came in flat this would have been a sell at limit early and put in a buy stop back at limit up. This is a spec algo trade and we could break hard today like yesterday. Someone blew out big …
