Trading Idea of the Day
ASX:PLS - Pilbara Minerals Ltd (BEARISH - short term)
- Key levels on the chart - consider taking trades from key support/resistance zones.
- There is strong bearish momentum to sell off the significantly overbought lithium stocks as per momentum indicators.
- S&P Global says lithium prices are lacking momentum for further increases.
- Chinese lithium carbonate spot prices have fallen 2.5 - 3% over last 2-3 weeks. Falling even further this week.
- Pilbara Minerals and Allkem sold off on rather heavy volumes last Friday from drop in lithium prices.
- China protests adding more fuel to the fire, so no positivity arose out of that.
