On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), aluminium futures were mostly trading within the range of ₹199 and ₹202 during the period between February 2 and February 16. Monday saw the contract settle at ₹197.45, breaking below the range.

The likelihood of a further decline is significant because the contract has produced a lower low on the daily chart, and the overall trend has been bearish. While there is support at ₹192, we believe that aluminium futures will soon fall below ₹186.

To convert the trend bullish, aluminium futures should surpass the barrier at ₹205 during a recovery.  such a move takes place, the contract may increase to ₹215 or even ₹220. However, the bias is currently bearish.

Short aluminium futures now at ₹196. Add shorts if the contract rises to ₹200. Place stop-loss at ₹204. When the price below ₹190, tighten the stop-loss to ₹195. Book profits at ₹186.
