LME aluminium downtrend resumed

Published Updated

The metal only managed to pierce briefly above resistance at $2,248, the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement on the fall from $2,438 to $2,130. Its failure to clear this barrier has invalidated the target at $2,248.

A surge to the Oct. 10 high of $2,264.75 won't alter the general picture, as that could be an extension of the wave (4), only with the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement to be retargeted.
