Feeder Cattle Leading The Meat Sector Back Up?
- I must admit that from the fundamental side the meat sector is probably my least stronger market.
I must admit that from the fundamental side the meat sector is probably my least stronger market... However, technicals are techincals and a chart is a chart and the meat sector ( primarily Live Cattle, Lean Hogs and Feeder Cattle ) have been on a very strong uptrend since May 2013.
The latest cattle on feed report still shows some bullish supply/demand situation while the commitment of traders report suggest there are still many speculators in this market ( so always a possibility of long liquidation).
Using daily Heikin-Ashi chart type ( variation of candle sticks ) along with my proprietary indicators above ( free trial is available ) I got a good read on a long July 23rd ( blue square ) and a short Aug 1st. ( red diamond ) While at this point I did not get a long signal nor a short signal it seems that the path of less resistance is up. Strong resistance band between 222.00 and 223.40 and what price action does around these levels will provide me clues as to future direction of this market.

If you are using outright futures, I would probably wait for a pull back towards 217.50 before trying to go long. If you are an experienced option trader and understand the unlimited risk nature of selling option premium, this may be a good time at looking at a ratio spread on the call side, where one buys a call option closer to the money and sells 2 call options out of the money to "finance" the trade, as out of the money calls premium is pretty inflated in my opinion.
If you need any feedback about futures and options strategies, please feel free to contact us and will be happy to review different set ups with you.
