Prices have risen slightly above  targeted daily and hourly geometric lines between 126-127. These have been previously discussed.

Bag of Nails: December Live Cattle

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

December Live Cattle      “Bag of Nails” is a cowboy term used to describe a state of confusion or topsy-turvy. This adequately describes the structural nature of the cattle market. Concerning the advance from 112.900 I currently hold several opinions as to its unfolding wave sequence all of which point to higher prices. My favorable conclusion contends we are …
