While there has not been a bearish trend reversal, the contract moderated slightly and the February contract is currently hovering around ₹830.

If there is a breakout of ₹840, copper futures can rally to ₹860, a resistance. A breach of ₹860 can turn medium-term trend bullish. On the other hand, if the contract slips below ₹824, it can extend the drop to ₹800-790 support band.
