Copper - off its October lows, yet still contending with global macro headwinds & China's difficulty in shaking off its deflationary economic funk..

Trading scenarios into EOY:

• Prelim trading range = ~3.93 - ~3.73.
  
• Under bearish pressure from 38.2% Fib rejections.
  
• Bullish reaction to China/macro economic news = bounce off lower range of parallel channel (green) + 200SMA confluence support / break above 38.2% Fib / break above ~3.93 upper trading range.
  
• Bullish extension target(s) = 50% Fib / upper range of parallel channel (green) confluence zone.
  
• Bearish reaction to China/macro economic news = break below ~3.73 lower trading range / lower range of parallel channel (green) / break underneath 200SMA, becoming dynamic resistance.
