HG - COPPER FUTURES - BULLISH - LONGWill be looking at long positions for instrument for the following reason.
• It is approaching a point of Major support in the ranging pattern looking back 3 months.
• This is a long-term long swing for me looking forward at least 2-3 months, but it might happen sooner with the recent volatility in the market.
• Looking to catch a long trade of the rejection from the support zone.
o I would need to zoom in to get a better entry point, once price rejects from the support zone.
• Also, I have been studying the Elliott wave patterns, and the 5th wave is usually the point of a major trend reversal.
• Also, there is the formation of the falling wedge pattern which adds to the confirmation of a bullish reversal.
Of course this is purely a technical approach.

Copper 08/09 MovePair : CU - Copper
Description :
It has Completed its " 12 " Impulsive Wave at Fibonacci Level - 50.00 or Demand Zone. Bearish Channel in Short Time Frame and Impulse Correction in Long Time Frame completed its Impulse and Correction at Fibonacci Level - 61.80% it will again make Impulsive move
Copper - (continued) SHORT; for now ...I fail to grasp the general consensus where the overall impression seems to be that "bad technicals" but "a very pretty fundamental picture"?
LME stocks jumped +45% just since January alone! - How is that a "good" fundamental picture? (I must be missing something, especially with China not coming back, in any way resembling past demand.)
Long(er) term, one could make a case, perhaps, but only by disregarding the hole that the decline of Chinese demand will poke into global fundamentals.
On the other hand, Copper/Gold ratio looks rather bullish.
Here is a close-up;
As for the Copper/Gold Ratio;
That is definitely what bullish looks like!
Stay SHORT for now (... and then make a lot of money trading it from under 3.50 ;-)
COPPER: Best sell signal on a 1 month basis.Copper hit the top of the Channel Down pattern that started in mid January and got rejected straight away. The 1D time frame already turned neutral (RSI = 51.361, MACD = 0.023, ADX = 28.747) and if the price crosses under the 1D MA50 and MA200, it will give a confirmed sell continuation signal.
First target is the S1 (TP1 = 3.5525) and second near the S2 (TP2 = 3.3750). A 1D RSI Double Bottom inside its S1 support, will be the first buy signal.

HG1! One word - CLEAN!COMEX:HG1! One word - CLEAN!
What a beautiful chart for copper! Technically it's ever so clean, when it comes to set ups like this - Be careful of fake breaks.
Pattern - Triangle/Pennant
Highs: 4.2100
Lows: 3.8255
A break of highs I expect: 4.3550 & 4.5570. However, a break of the lows I expect: 3.6740 & 3.5040 and perhaps lower!
Currently, as long as we within this channel and within these ranges... until break either side!
Have a great week ahead & it's a long weekend for some of us!

Copper: Like a Lead Weight ⚖️No worries – we didn’t confuse our metals! However, like a lead weight, copper should continue to sink further, heading for the green zone between $3.08 and $2.59 in the south. Already the price has broken free from the recent sidewards movement and has developed a new low, showing more and more downwards momentum. Once copper has arrived in the green zone, it should complete wave 2 in green, marking a distinctive low, which should then introduce a strong upwards movement.
Copper-Weakest metal-Good Morning traders!
Here we can see as copper corrected last move to the downside exactly at the Golden Zone+ POC confluence level. During the corrective move, price created a bearish wolfe wave so we believe that it it is ready for continuation to downside.
Head and Shoulder on lower time frames!
Short from @411.5 stop loss @422.7 risk 1% of equity.
Will update below.
Copper rally to be capped.XCUUSD - Intraday - We look to Sell at 4.185 (stop at 4.230)
With signals for sentiment at overbought extremes, the rally could not be extended.
Although the bulls are in control, the stalling positive momentum indicates a turnaround is possible.
Early optimism is likely to lead to gains although extended attempts higher are expected to fail.
We look for a temporary move higher.
Our profit targets will be 4.075 and 4.055
Resistance: 4.160 / 4.187 / 4.250
Support: 4.150 / 4.080 / 4.030

Short CopperWe are short Copper. Take profit 3.40 and Stop Loss at 3.70 - a 1.9 Risk to reward ratio. There is a 50% profitability rate for this trade, however considering the prior signal for copper was profitable, the odds of 2 short signals producing a profit in a row is 25%. This trading signal also aligns with our seasonal sentiment of copper over the coming weeks.
Copper analysis and ideas: Will bears come back?Copper prices may remain under pressure in the coming months due to investors' apprehension about China's growth prospects in the wake of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, which disappointed the market.
Since September, copper prices have fluctuated within a relatively narrow range (3.2-3.6) after the earlier sharp declines occurred this year.
The long-term case for copper remains strong, as it is a key metal for the energy transition and global inventories are currently very low.
However, one of the main challenges it faces in the near future is its dependence on China’s economic growth.
The brown metal will remain under pressure unless China announces new growth-friendly economic policies to counteract the predicted slowdown in the country’s economy. However, the latest China Party Congress appears to prefer fostering sustainable growth and giving more importance to inequality, national security, and ideological matters.
Copper bull markets have historically coincided with periods of extraordinary global growth, driven primarily by China.
We have now reached a crossroads in that regard, and if China is unable to maintain high and consistent economic growth, copper will have to wait for a new global wave of coordinated investments toward the development of renewables and green energy. However, given the issues with inflation and rising interest rates that we are currently facing, it may still be years before the transition fully takes hold on a global scale. This could take the price of copper subdued for longer.
When we look at the daily chart, we can see that some bearish pressure was forming near the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the 2022 range. Also the 50-day moving average has been a quite strong dynamic resistance later. The technical picture remains overall on the bearish foot, and copper needs to clear the 2022 trendline at around $3.75 and then cross the psychological $4.00 mark before materially inverting the downtrend.
Elliott wave Analysis of Dr. CopperCopper is in downtrend from the high of March-07-2022, as per elliott wave analysis the copper seems to be in (corrective) 4th wave. If my analysis and wave counts holds good, then the 4th wave should end below the low of wave 1 which is "4.0346". The 4th wave should clearly show the ABC corrective pattern.
The trade idea is to SHORT COPPER in the 5th wave, there is no way to predict exact point when the 5th wave will start and end. But if the copper price keeps going up respecting 4th wave, we will have a good trade.
Possible reversal from 4th to 5th wave can be determined by superimposing Weekly and Monthly Pivot Points on top of the elliott waves, I expect it to happen in early August. I will post an update whether we have a trade or not, until then keep an eye on Dr. Copper.
Short Term Copper 'SELLS' heading into Q4 of 2022I think it's becoming more and more clear that copper sells could extend into the last quarter of the year. Corrective wave 4 seems complete at 0.382 of the second Minor wave count and price is currently in an impulsive bear wave of a lower degree. We should therefore expect Copper prices to plunge to $2.96/lb(-15.4% decline) with some minor bullish price action to around $3.2/lb before eventually finding support at $2.7/lb, representing a -22.42% decline based on the current market price.
As indicated in the chart, this short idea comes into play ONLY WHEN Copper prices drop BELOW $3.35/lb, which is the terminus of the minuette wave 1.
Additionally, I strongly recommend you to review my long term forecast in profile.
Here is a link to my previous Copper forecast.

COPPER FUTURES (HG1!), H4 Potential for Bearish DropType : Bearish Drop
Resistance :3.5785
Pivot: 3.4160
Support : 3.2760
Preferred Case: On the H4, with price breaking the trendline and moving below ichimoku indicator, we have a bearish bias that the price will drop to the pivot at 3.4160 where the swing low support, 78.6% fibonacci projection and 161.8% fibonacci extension are. Once there is downside confirmation that price has broken pivot structure, we would expect bearish momentum to carry price to 1st support at 3.2760 where the pullback support and 78.6% fibonacci retracement are.
Alternative scenario: Alternatively, price could rise to 1st resistance at 3.5785 where the pullback resistance is.
Fundamentals: No Major News
Global headwinds for copper?Copper has attempted a rebound from technical oversold levels in recent days, following a 20% drawdown from its all time highs, thus officially entering a bear market.
Is this an indication that investors have already priced in a global economic downturn and that the worst is now over?
Or are we merely experiencing a copper bear market rally, with further declines to come?
The previous days have acted as a relief rally in all assets that had declined in recent months. That's because interest rate fears cooled as inflation peaked. The market is beginning to believe that the Fed may not go all-in with rate rises and will thus need to release the brake to prevent more damage (a recession).
However, the most significant concerns associated with copper, particularly Covid-19 in China and the negative repercussions on global growth, have not dissipated.
If current geopolitical and economic challenges, such as Covid in China and the conflict in Ukraine, derail globalization efforts, copper prices may face further headwinds in the coming months as trade flows stall due to a drop in global consumer demand amid real income losses.
