Aluminium futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), which faced a resistance at ₹204 on July 14, fell in the subsequent sessions. On Monday, the contract marked a low of ₹194.45 and has now rebounded to the current level of ₹198.
Thus, the support at ₹195 prevented a decline beyond that level. However, the broader trend remains bearish and for the short-term, the price action suggests that aluminium futures could stay in the ₹195-202 range.
A breakout of ₹202 can potentially turn the trend bullish where the contract could rally to ₹208 or even to ₹215. On the other hand, if aluminum futures fall below the support at ₹195, it might fall to ₹182, a support.
Trade strategy
Last week, we recommended initiating fresh short positions at ₹200 with stop-loss at ₹205 for a target of ₹182. Retain this position.
Nevertheless, since the odds for a sideways trend are increasing, we suggest some adjustment to this trade. Revise the target and stop-loss to ₹195 and ₹202 respectively.
