Lean hog futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange have seen this week serious chart damage inflicted, amid big gap-lower price moves on the daily chart and fresh contract lows established. While the fundamental news has dominated the pork futures complex this week, what with the heretofore called "swine flu" scare worldwide, the technical picture last week was significantly bearish and did suggest serious downside price potential. This is a classic example of how technical chart analysis is a front-runner of fundamental market events. In June lean hog futures, price action last week and in the previous weeks had produced a bearish symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily bar chart. Symmetrical triangles are continuation patterns, and given that the most recent price trend in hog futures had been down, technical odds did suggest a downside "breakout" from the triangle pattern, which occurred in strong fashion on Monday. Measuring implications from the symmetrical triangle pattern in June lean hogs do point to a downside objective to the $64.00 area. From a longer-term technical perspective, an examination of the weekly continuation chart for nearby lean hog futures shows that price action this week has produced a bearish gap down on the weekly chart. Longer-term technical support is located at $57.10, at $55.70 and at the 2008 low of $53.90, basis the nearby futures contract. For the lean hog bulls to begin to regain some near-term technical momentum and to begin to suggest that a market bottom is in place, they would have to push and close June futures prices above a strong technical resistance zone located between $68.65 (the February low) and $69.65 (this week's high).
