Rejón de Muerte ?: December Live Cattle

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

December Live Cattle

     Rejon de Muerto translates into the ” lance of death” and refers to the sword used by the Matador to kill the bull. This swift and violent act has not yet transpired in the live cattle market but the blade has been drawn as the market approaches the wave high of 116.325. Once again the bulls fought off the mortal blow as prices held up at 116.525 in today’s session rising modestly off the extreme to finish at 117.175 in post close action. Falling below 117 should setup another challenge of the level. The market will most likely find support just underneath at +/- 116.220 but the damage will have been inflicted in a technical sense with a violation what I have labeled a first wave high. A close beneath 116.200 should be seen as a negative as would a choppy non-impulsive rebound off the point. Underneath target zone comes in at +/- 112. On the other hand should the bulls hold their own and successfully display an advance of an  impulsive nature off these recent lows it will most likely be setting up a at the overhead channel cross at roughly 122 in the coming days.

My analytical breakdown focuses on a blend of  wave pattern recognition, long and short term geometrical extensions and momentum signal interpretation.
