China's Huayou Plans to Build Lithium Carbonate Plant in Zimbabwe

Although the news signals a long-term increase in lithium supply, it is not expected to have a direct impact on prices in the short term. Technical indicators present a weak outlook: the RSI is near oversold territory at 37, the MACD is below the signal line, and the price is trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The 2.9% decline in the last 24 hours confirms the current selling pressure. Therefore, short-term direction may remain uncertain, and the price is likely to consolidate at current levels.

The news points to an increase in lithium supply, creating a negative signal for lithium producers such as ALB. Technical indicators also confirm weakness: the RSI is in the sell zone at 38.8, the MACD is below the signal line, and the price is below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The 4.6% decline in the last 24 hours indicates continued selling pressure. In the short term, the downtrend is expected to persist, although some buying on dips is possible as the asset approaches oversold territory.
