Live Cattle Chart Analysis
Live Cattle Technical Analysis
The technical analysis of the LCATTLE price chart in 4-hour timeframe shows #C-LCATTLE,H4 is declining to test the 200-period moving average MA(200) after hitting all-time high three weeks ago. We believe the bearish momentum will continue as the price breaches below lower bund of Donchian channel at 193.418. A pending order to sell can be placed below that level. The stop loss can be placed above 196.581. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved every day to the next fractal high, following Parabolic signals . Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
Fundamental Analysis of Commodities - Live Cattle
US cattle slaughter volume fell last week. Will the LCATTLE price retreating continue?
The US Cattle Report indicated domestic cow slaughter numbers are declining: processors slaughtered 561,000 cattle last week - down 23,000 or a 3.9% decrease from last week's 584,000 head. This is one of the smallest full week slaughter volumes in several years. The slaughter volume was also down compared to the same period a year ago: 7.7% or 47,000 lower than the same period in 2024. The report indicates that while last year’s slaughter rates were impaired by winter storms, this year’s reduction is the result of lower demand for beef. Indications of lower demand for beef are bearish for LCATTLE live cattle price.
