MCX Gold Feb Daily Chart
Technical View:
Prices gave a gap down opening and traded in a range which could be considered as consolidation of the previous up move. The momentum indicator, RSI on daily timeframe have taken resistance near 60 which suggest prices are still not in bullish zone. Once the RSI on momentum indicator, crosses 60 levels, prices could start trading higher. We expect prices can test 26450 levels which can be considered as buying opportunity to test 26800/27000 while support remains at 25950 levels.
MCX Silver Mar Daily Chart
Technical View:
Currently prices are trading near the crucial resistance level of 37900 failure to breach the level could drift prices lower by 300-500 points while breach of the level could move prices towards 38200/38500 levels. on hourly timeframe, the momentum indicator, RSI has moved above 60 levels which signals prices could head higher. For now we expect prices to test 37900 levels while downside remains limited to 36400 levels.

MCX Crude Dec Daily Chart:
Technical Views:
Prices drifted lower achieving both the short term targets. We now remain cautious as prices are trading near the downtrend line above which prices could rally towards 4350 levels while failure to breach the levels could drift prices towards 4180 levels. Favored view remains buy as on daily timeframe prices have formed hammer candlestick which would give bullishness to prices.
MCX Natural Gas Dec Hourly Chart:
Technical Views:
Prices opened on a flat note but in the second half of the trading session prices drifted lower below the lower band of the consolidation formation which gives negative confirmation for prices. We expect prices can test 235 levels while upside remains capped at 246.40 levels. the momentum indicator, RSI remained below 40 levels which suggest lack of momentum in prices.
