UPDATE: Merafe entered into a sideways Twilight Zone What's nextWe see Merafe has definitely entered into a Rectangle formation. Price is remaining above the 200MA where it could range between the high and low. We definitely need a breakout to the upside, before we see upside. The target potential will be at R1.61 if the price breaks above the Rectangle. Now I wouldn't be that positive and optimistic with this analysis, due to the bad numbers released with ferrochrome. UPDATE: In a strategic move that echoed the prevailing market conditions, Merafe Resources, the South African ferrochrome producer, reported a considerable drop in production for the year. The company's attributable ferrochrome production fell by a substantial 22% from 384 kilotons in the preceding year to 300 kilotons. This planned reduction in output was primarily driven by the high electricity demand during the winter season, characterised by escalated power prices. As a result, the Lion smelter was the only operational facility during this period.

Merafe showing downside to test R1.00 again read fundamentalsM Formation formed on the daily and we are just waiting for the price to break below the neckline. 21>7- Bearish Price <200 - Bearish RSI <50 lower highs Target R1.08 CONCERNS: Many resource companies are showing downside to come. It seems like smart money knows something the public doesn't. This corresponds to the strengthening dollar. Ever since the US dollar started strengthening in February 2023, Resources markets have been showing volatility with no conviction of upside. Economically speaking for Merafe, the price of ferrochrome (Which is used in the production of stainless steel) is denominated in US dollars, which means that changes in the value of the dollar can impact the price of ferrochrome. This is because a stronger dollar makes it more expensive for buyers in other countries to purchase ferrochrome, as they need to exchange their own currency for US dollars in order to make the purchase. This can lead to a decrease in demand for ferrochrome, which can put downward pressure on the price. Additionally, a stronger dollar can make it less profitable for ferrochrome producers in countries with weaker currencies to sell their products on the global market. This can lead to a drop in supply of ferrochrome, which can also put downward pressure on the price.
