WATCH THE GAPS ON THE CATTLE & FEEDER CATTLE CHARTS
MEATS: 10/11/11 Sharply lower live and feeder cattle along with lean hogs all trading in wide ranges. Although I have buy signals for the live and feeder cattle it should be noted that both have TWO GAPS below and, as I have stated many times before, the meats and grains, in my opinion, fill most of these gaps! Cattle had its worst close in two weeks and are now at the lower end of a critical resistance area while the November feeders made their best close since July 12th! Sell signals could prove significant with those gaps below. Also, the feeders have good support below 140. The hogs settled sharply lower and is now at the lower end its resistance area also. BUY SIGNAL FOR LIVE AND FEEDER CATTLE ALONG WITH LEAN HOGS. CALL FOR DETAILS!
