The MCX- copper futures contract has been in a prolonged sideways range movement between ₹300 and ₹340 per kg. Within this range, the contract has reversed sharply after touching a low of around ₹310 last month. It is now heading to test the range resistance at ₹340. Whether the contract breaks above ₹340 or not will decide the next move. Traders can remain on the sidelines. Avoid trading this contract until the range breakout gives a clear cue on the next direction of move. A strong break above ₹340 will boost the bullish momentum. Since the contract has been stuck inside this range for many months, such a break can trigger a sharp and a swift rally. It may pave the way for a fresh rally to ₹380 or ₹400 thereafter. But if the contract fails to break above ₹340 this week and reverses lower, the ₹300-340 range will remain intact. In such a scenario, the contract can fall to test the intermediate support zone between ₹321 and ₹318. A strong fall below ₹318 will then drag the contract lower to ₹310 or ₹305 thereafter.
