June cattle closed up $0.13 at $135.33 



June cattle closed higher on Tuesday as it consolidated some of the decline off April's high. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to slightly higher opening on Wednesday.

If June extends the decline off last-Friday's high, March's low crossing at $130.97 is the next downside target. Closes above last-Monday's gap crossing at $138.35 would signal that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is last-Monday's gap crossing at $138.35. Second resistance is the 75% retracement level of the February-March decline crossing at $140.29. First support is April's low crossing at $133.48. Second support is March's low crossing at $130.97.
