Cattle Rallying

While most of the commodity world is decidedly bearish, cattle is rallying.  Let's start with the weekly chart:


Cattle was in a downward trend for most of the last two years.  But recently, prices have broken through resistance and moved above the shorter EMAs.  Momentum is positive and money is moving into the market.


The daily chart shows the rallying in far more detail.  Prices bottomed in mid-May and have been moving higher since.  We see a fair amount of resistance around the 26.75-27.25 area -- which also corresponds to the 200 day EMA.  Once that line was crossed, prices have consistently moved higher.
