October Cattle was down today $5.625 per CWT to 230.175 per CWT another way to look at the price is $2.30175 per pound. The Feeder market selloff was much more pronounced. After hitting a high of $3.69375 per pound on August 27^th we closed today @ $3.49925 per pound Limit down.

Lower feedlot beef sale prices and expectations for seasonally slowing demand at the end of the summer outdoor grilling season further fueled the break, although losses were limited by historically tight cattle supplies and strong beef packer margins, analysts said. High Beef prices had been blamed on two factors, 1. blocking the Mexico/US border from Cattle imports do to an infestation south of the border of the New World Screwworm Fly in addition to 2. The smallest U.S. Heard since 1959.

October Live Cattle

The rally in October live cattle stalled out last month just short of its low percentage fourth upside PriceCount objective. On the correction, the chart has activated downside counts. The first count projects a slide to the $231.350 area.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com
