Take a look at this chart. There was a big base breakout in June 2021, and since then, the price has only halted to take a breather. Not a break, but just a breather.

Now take a look at the momentum pane at the bottom. Post the 2020 correction, the indicator has consistently been trading above the level of 50. This continued display of strength in momentum is a big plus for Cotton.

The most recent price breakout came at the level of 38,300. As long as the price sustains above this level, we are bullish with a target close to 52,460.
