FCATTLE Technical Analysis - FCATTLE Trading: 2017-08-29

Hurricane Harvey may damage the US cattle breeding

Thousands of heads of cattle in feedlots may suffer because of Hurricane Harvey. Will the FCATTLE quotes grow?

The brunt of Hurricane Harvey fell on the US states of Louisiana and Texas, which are the leaders in beef production. Meanwhile the economic damage is estimated at $40 bln, but the figure will be elaborated. An additional factor for the possible price increase may be the monthly survey of the USDA. In July, 2017, the number of calves placed in feedlots increased by 2.7% and amounted to 1.615 mln heads. This is by 2.7% higher than the July figure of the last year. The data may disappoint market participants, who expected a growth by 6.2%. Nevertheless, according to the Livestock Marketing Information Center, even such an increase in supply could cut the incomes of feedlots twofold in July compared to June of this year. This may encourage farmers to reduce the number of calves in the future.

FCATTLE

On the daily timeframe, FCATTLE: D1 came out of the downtrend and is moving upwards. The further price increase is possible in case of the marked damage of the US meat production sector by Hurricane Harvey.

  • The Parabolic indicator gives a bullish signal.
  • The Bollinger bands widened, which means higher volatility. They are tilted upwards.
  • The RSI indicator is below 50. It has formed a positive divergence.
  • The MACD indicator gives a bullish signal.

The bullish momentum may develop in case FCATTLE exceeds the last fractal high at 146. This level may serve as an entry point. The initial stop loss may be placed below the last fractal low and the Parabolic signal at 138. After opening the pending order, we shall move the stop to the next fractal low following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the potential profit/loss to the breakeven point. More risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop level at 146 without reaching the order at 138 we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes that were not taken into account.
