Technical Snapshot
Lean Hogs
Lean hogs have had a solid performance over the last two sessions, getting the bullish seasonal trade off to a good start (the seasonal is for the June contract, contact us for more information). The market got up to the 50 and 100 day moving averages but wasn't able to chew through that resistance band from 94.225-94.975. A breakout above that pocket could open the door for another leg higher, with the next resistance pocket coming in closer to 98.00.
