Breakout Stock to Watch: MCX Hits Fresh 52-Week High


By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)

Summary:

 

The crude oil futures curve is currently in steep backwardation, indicating tight near-termMCX share price hit a fresh 52-week high on Monday, April 13, as the stock broke out of a two-month consolidation pattern. The move signals a possible resumption of the uptrend and opens up a fresh entry opportunity. Backed by a 151% year-on-year rise in Q3FY26 consolidated net profit, MCX remains a stock to keep on the watchlist.

The Indian equity benchmark indices opened with a sharp gap-down on Monday after the US and Iran failed to reach an agreement over the weekend. As a result, crude oil prices spiked, and the impact was immediately visible at the opening bell in Indian markets. However, the Nifty managed to recover nearly 180 points from the day’s low, while stock-specific action continued to remain active.

Breakout Stock to Watch Out: MCX

One stock that remained in focus on April 13, 2026 was Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX). MCX share price touched a fresh 52-week high in today’s trade. With this move, the stock has broken out of a two-month consolidation phase that had taken the shape of a triangular pattern. This breakout signals a possible resumption of the uptrend and presents a fresh entry opportunity.

Since the stock is trading at a new 52-week high, it is comfortably placed above its key moving averages of 20, 50, 100, and 200 days. More importantly, all these moving averages are aligned in the desired sequence and are sloping upward, which reflects a strong bullish structure. In addition, the 20-week moving average has been acting as an important support level for the stock, and this time too, MCX has bounced back from that zone.

The 14-period daily RSI has moved above the 60 mark and continues to trend higher. During the recent correction triggered by the Middle East crisis, the stock did not slip into the oversold zone on the daily chart. On the weekly chart, it remained in a super-bullish trajectory, with the RSI holding above 60. The daily MACD also remains in a strong uptrend and is diverging from its 9-period average, which further supports the positive bias. Considering these factors, the stock appears well placed to resume its upward move after a phase of consolidation.

India’s Largest Commodity Exchange: MCX Q3FY26 Performance

In Q3FY26, India’s largest commodity exchange, MCX, reported a 151% jump in consolidated net profit to ₹401 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to ₹160 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue from operations surged 121% to ₹666 crore, against ₹301 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The average daily turnover (ADT) in futures and options for Q3FY26 rose sharply by 224% year-on-year to ₹7,50,136 crore from ₹2,31,821 crore.

MCX Share Price Performance

MCX share price had risen nearly 2% as of 11:09 am on Monday, April 13, 2026. The stock has delivered multibagger returns over the past one year, with the share price rallying nearly 150%. Following this recent breakout, MCX is a stock worth keeping on the watchlist.
