NSE script – MCX

Display – Bullish

Last Close – Rs 4,377

This stock has consistently outperformed, maintaining a Higher Top Higher Bottom price pattern. It shows minimal reaction during broader market corrections, but outperforms when the market is in an uptrend.

This week, after an initial consolidation period, the stock showed strong momentum on Friday, confirming a continuation of the Flag breakout.

On a higher time frame, prices have already breached the key resistance level of the previous swing high of Rs 4,270 in April 2024, indicating an overall bullish trend. Moreover, recent surge in volume during upward moves has supported the breakout.

Therefore we recommend BUY MCX at around Rs 4380 – Rs 4370 | SL: Rs 4277 | TGT: Rs 4,680
