Summary · why it matters

October live cattle futures may have reached a near-term top, with Monday's price action negating an uptrend and signaling a potential selling opportunity. A move below chart support at $236.00 would strengthen the bearish case, targeting a downside objective of $210.00 or lower, while technical resistance sits at the contract high of $246.55. Elevated beef prices and high gasoline costs could shift consumer demand toward cheaper proteins like pork and poultry, especially as BLT season approaches.
