The coming setback in Hogs and Cattle
Hogs
We are moving into the December contracts, so this is the last update for October.
From last update,
It hit 61.8% back at 96.85 today and there is a major Gann square at 97.10. Following the ONE44 61.8% rule, a break from 61.8% should send it back to 61.8% of where it just came from and this is 92.00.
Yesterday's high traded above 61.8% and the 97.10 major Gann square and we are now looking for a setback to 61.8% at 92.40 to complete the ONE44 61.8% rule target. Any break that can only go back 38.2% at 94.30 keeps the current leg very positive and you can look for new highs for the move. Failing to turn lower from the 97.10 major Gann square should send it to the next major Gann square at 100.30.
December Hogs
December is in a stronger position and the current rally took it just short of 78.6% at 89.26, this is also a major Gann square, however the potential for a break from 78.6% is bigger following the ONE44 78.5% rule and it could go 78.6% back from where it just came from, this is 82.97. A setback from 89.26 that can only go 38.2% back at 86.15 keeps the current leg up very positive and you can look for new highs. Not getting a turn lower from 89.26 should send it to the next major Gann square at 91.58.
October Cattle
From last update,
Our long term target on this rally remains at 148.05. Once it can close above the 145.62 major Gann square you can use it as the short term swing point. Above it, look for 148.05. Below it, look for the 142.90 major Gann square.
