Peaked in March 2022, only to crash -38% & bottomed-out in July 2022.
Since then it has fluctuated between Contraction (will Global Economy collapse?) versus Expansion (will Global Economy recover?), while also contending with outlook of China's Economy, yeesh lol.
Copper's price action has also been compressing, as descending trend-line squeezes current Trading Range against ascending Parallel Channel.
This suggests momentum will eventually need to "pop" in either direction...but it could also continue trading sideways a little longer while more data is disseminated by Market Makers to make a confident decision, TBC.
