Copper Trend Acceleration! LSMA Pullback Supports the Move!🔥 XCU/USD — “COPPER VS U.S. DOLLAR” 🔧 Metals Market Opportunity Blueprint (Day / Swing Trade Edition) 📌 🔵 Market Plan: Bullish Structure Confirmed Copper continues to showcase strong upside structure, and the LSMA Moving Average Pullback has now confirmed fresh bullish continuation momentum.

Copper At A Crossroads: Rally Exhaustion Vs Macro RiskCopper just delivered a classic volatility sequence: a blow off into the 5.89 area, followed by a fast 27% flush in six days. Since printing the 4.29 low, price has been grinding higher and is now back into my short entry around 5.40, which is roughly a 26% retrace of the drop. What matters to me here is the structure: we retraced without a clean liquidity sweep above the prior extreme, which keeps the move looking corrective, not a fresh impulse leg. On the macro side , the tape has been pricing a lot of bullish copper narratives at once. We have seen copper trade at record levels in global benchmarks, with the rally supported by supply risk headlines and policy driven optimism. That is exactly why I am interested in fading the retrace: when supply premium and bullish positioning get crowded, even small shifts in risk appetite can trigger sharp mean reversion. Recent reporting has highlighted how sensitive flows and inventory distribution can become when policy risk enters the picture, which tends to amplify volatility rather than smooth it. Technically, I am treating 5.40 as the “decision zone” after the rebound. As long as price holds below the prior spike region near 5.89, my base case is a rotation back toward the mid range and ultimately a retest of the 4.29 low. If we reclaim the prior extreme and hold above it, that would invalidate the correction thesis and I would reassess. Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

COPPER / GOLD & ISM PMI = Critical For AltseasonBeen seeing a lot of commentary on COPPER / GOLD. This is a strong indication of industrial growth in the economy, as the demand for copper rises with build-outs. The ISM PMI has a very strong correlation with C/G, also showing strength in the economy, as consumers buy more which gives businesses the ability to expand operations. In a nutshell, these charts portray “Retail” ie “Main Street”. There’s a very real possibility that we do not get our typical Alt Season at all this cycle if C/G & ISM PMI do not have a violent move up in the next few months. (more on this later) The last time we saw such a divergence between these two was in January 2016 where it took C/G ~230 days to turn-up. This would put Alt-Season Q4 ’26 - Q1 ’27, which makes sense theoretically based on Trump’s suspected stimulus plans which would come right before mid-terms. This would give us our typical year-long bear market which has snuck up on us all because we lacked the retail euphoria phase due to very weak retail participation. HOPIUM: In 2016 When the ISM climbed above 50, COPPER soon found a bottom and Alts ripped. Notice the bullish divergence on the RSI during that time, same as we are seeing now. It looking like C/G may have found a bottom on this multi-decade parallel channel. *Our livelihood depends on the ISM showing immense strength in the coming months so that C/G can follow.

XCU/USD: Will This Demand Zone Hold for Bulls?🎯 XCU/USD: The Great Copper Heist Strategy | Multi-Layer Entry Setup 💰 📊 Asset Analysis Copper vs U.S. Dollar (XCU/USD) - Metals Market Strategy Type: Swing/Day Trade Hybrid Market Bias: 🐂 BULLISH CONFIRMATION 🔍 Technical Setup Overview The setup shows bullish confirmation with triangular moving averages converging in a demand zone - a classic institutional accumulation pattern. We're seeing strong support structure forming, making this an attractive risk-reward opportunity for multi-layer entries. 🎯 The "Layered Entry" Strategy Explained This isn't your typical single-entry approach. We're using a multi-limit order layering strategy (what I call the "strategic accumulation method") to build positions gradually: 📍 Suggested Layer Entry Levels: Layer 1️⃣: $4.9000 Layer 2️⃣: $4.9500 Layer 3️⃣: $5.0000 Layer 4️⃣: $5.0500 Layer 5️⃣: $5.1000 💡 Pro Tip: You can add more layers or adjust based on your account size and risk tolerance. The beauty of layering? You average into the position as price dips, reducing overall entry cost. 🛡️ Risk Management 🚨 Stop Loss: Below $4.8000 This level invalidates the bullish structure and protects capital if the setup fails. ⚠️ Important Disclaimer: The stop loss mentioned is based on this specific analysis. You should always determine your own risk parameters based on your account size, risk tolerance, and trading plan. Take profits at YOUR comfort level - your risk, your rules! 🎲 🎯 Profit Targets & Exit Strategy Primary Target: $5.4000 🎊 This represents a solid risk-reward ratio from our layered entries. ⚠️ Long-Term Resistance Warning: There's a major resistance zone around $28.00 (historical supply zone acting as a strong barrier + potential overbought conditions). If you're thinking ultra-long term, be aware that this level has trapped bulls before. 💰 Exit Strategy Note: The targets provided are guideline levels. Always manage your own exits based on price action, momentum, and your personal profit goals. Lock in gains when you're comfortable - trading is personal! 🔗 Related Pairs to Watch (Correlation Analysis) Keep an eye on these correlated assets to confirm the copper move: HG (Copper Futures) - Direct correlation, primary benchmark FCX (Freeport-McMoRan Inc.) - Major copper producer, equity proxy DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) - Inverse correlation; weak dollar = stronger copper CL (Crude Oil) - Industrial commodity correlation AUD/USD - Australian dollar heavily tied to copper exports CNY/USD - China is the largest copper consumer globally 💡 Key Point: If DXY weakens and AUD/USD strengthens while industrial commodities rally, this confirms the copper bullish thesis. 📈 Why This Setup Works ✅ Triangular MA convergence in demand zone = strong technical confluence ✅ Multi-layer entry reduces timing risk ✅ Clear invalidation level for risk management ✅ Favorable risk-reward ratio to first target ✅ Industrial metals showing strength in current macro environment ⚡ Final Thoughts This is a methodical approach to capturing potential upside in copper while managing downside risk through layered entries. Remember: trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Build positions strategically, manage risk religiously, and let the market come to you. 🎭 Strategy Style Disclaimer This analysis uses a creative "layered accumulation" approach for educational and entertainment purposes. All trading involves substantial risk of loss. This is not financial advice - trade at your own risk and always do your own research. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. ⚠️📉 ✨ If you find value in my analysis, a 👍 and 🚀 boost is much appreciated — it helps me share more setups with the community! #XCU #Copper #MetalsTrading #SwingTrading #DayTrading #ForexTrading #CommodityTrading #TechnicalAnalysis #LayeredEntry #RiskManagement #BullishSetup #TradingStrategy #XCUUSD #CopperFutures #MultiLayerEntry

Copper (HG1) Market Watch Simple & Clear!Copper’s looking strong right now 💪 and it might be setting up for a big move. Here’s the key level I’m watching: 📈 If copper breaks and closes above 5.41, that could open the door for a run all the way up to 7.13. That’s a big potential move but only if we hold strong above that breakout level. 💡 Right now, it’s all about confirmation ; a clean close above 5.41 could shift the trend in a big way.

How To Spot Stagflation?One way is by looking at the copper-to-gold ratio and the crude oil-to-gold ratio. • Gold reflects real money and investor confidence. • Copper tracks recession. • Crude oil represents inflation pressures. When real money is under threat, the economy slows, and inflation rises at the same time, we have stagflation. This is the worst-case scenario for any economy. Fortunately, we are not experiencing it yet, though the risk remains. What could trigger it? Copper Gold Ratio - A downward trend signals slower growth and potential recession. This does not mean copper prices are falling; rather, if both copper and gold are rising but copper is climbing at a slower rate than gold, the ratio will continue to trend lower. Crude Gold Ratio - As of now, the trend is still down, indicating that inflation remains under control. However, if crude oil starts moving higher, and its percentage change exceeds that of gold, the ratio will turn upward. Currently, inflation already seems to be pointing upward, and if the copper-gold ratio also rises, inflation is likely to trend higher than its current level. Video version: Therefore, stagflation = slow growth (copper-gold ratio) + high inflation (crude-gold ratio). Keep a close watch on the direction of copper and crude oil.

Zinc & Copper Correlation is very healthyZinc and copper markets are closely related because both metals are used heavily in construction, manufacturing, and electrical applications, so demand often rises and falls together with industrial activity. They’re also frequently mined from the same deposits, meaning supply-side disruptions can affect both. As a result, prices for zinc and copper tend to show a high degree of correlation, moving in similar cycles tied to global economic growth and infrastructure. Comparing the Charts (Zinc on the left on a Monhtly TF), we see that Zinc has a lot of room left to the upside. Because it's goal is to go back to balance, which is the Centerline. And because of the close correlation, I think the Chart of Copper HG1! is still OK. So, in Copper, the Centerline target is still in play.

HG - Copper Setting Up For A Long Opprtunity At Extreme📊 Fundamentals first: - Short-term: The copper market is turbulent—marked by sharp price spikes, crashes, and global shifts in stock levels. - Medium-term: Despite forecasted surpluses from ICSG, technology innovations and steady demand (especially from China and green sectors) may underpin prices. - U.S. risk factor: The tariffs remain a major wildcard, likely restructuring trade flows, increasing domestic input costs, and distorting global price differentials. 📈 Now the Chart: P5/0 at the U-MLH marked the end, and price dropped into the void. Now, at the L-MLH we see support has built up. The momentum we see now will probably lead in a pullback before the potential massive run-up to the Centerline. 💡 If the trading God gives me a pullback, I am willingly risk my 0.5% in this trade to make at least 4x more. 🦊 Happy new week to all §8-)

COPPER Multi-year Support held. Strong Buy Signal.Last time we had a look on Copper (HG1!) was almost 2 months ago (July 17, see chart below) and it delivered an instant return on our sell as it got rejected at the top of the Rising Wedge, quickly hitting our 4.700 Target: The price just broke above its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) again this week after completing 5 weeks below it. With the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) intact as Support, the multi-year Rising Wedge should now technically initiate its new Bullish Leg. Check also the 1W RSI, which just hit and rebounded on its 2-year Support Zone. We expect a new Higher High on the Rising Wedge, targeting $6.000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Copper testing bullish trend lineWith copper prices easing over the last few days, it has now reached a key short-term support area in the shaded region. Here a bullish trend line meets prior support/resistance range. Can we see a bounce here today? Or are we inside a bear flag pattern? Either way, we will soon find out, and then one can trade copper accordingly. We prefer the long side give a positive long-term macro backdrop for copper.

Copper establishing a baseFollowing the big drop in copper prices on the back of news at the end of July that Trump's tariff excludes refined metal, prices have started to stabilize near the lows, suggesting a potential recovery could be on the cards. Copper prices dropped by the largest on July 30 after Trump excluded refined metal from his planned import tariff. Dip-buyers are starting to step back in now, with prices now finding their footing around $4.40 area, which itself was a prior demand zone from early April. Short-term resistance around $4.50 has provided a short-term ceiling but if that breaks then we could see a quick recovery towards the 200-day average first, ahead of potentially $5.00 in the coming weeks.

Strength in Precious Metals ContinuesThere was a good mix in price action across many asset classes on the day today where the precious metals traded higher led by the Silver market, which traded up near 1.3% on the day. There was a mixed set of data being released today with manufacturing data and PMI, and the S&P and Nasdaq finished the day lower. Over the past few weeks, there has been significant volatility in the precious metals looking at Gold, Silver, and Copper, and the last few trading days Gold and Silver have strung together a few positive days in a row. Both Gold and Silver have been trading at or near all time high prices and have been able to hold at these levels even with slight selling pressure. Copper on the other hand has continued to struggle after the 50% tariff on all imports was announced last week, and the market has dropped from “overbought” to “oversold” levels on a daily basis in a matter of a few days. There will be a good amount of earnings coming out for the remainder of the week that could add additional volatility to the equity indices along with the precious metals to wrap up the week.

Copper: Trump Signs Tariffs on Imports Amid National Security...President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday that imposes tariffs on copper imports, citing concerns over national security. The White House announced that the new policy will introduce a 50% tariff on semi-finished copper products and other copper-derived goods that are highly dependent on the metal. These tariffs are scheduled to come into effect on August 1, as outlined in a White House fact sheet. In terms of market dynamics, copper is currently within a monthly demand zone, with a daily demand area also identified for setting pending orders. The potential impact on prices could be twofold: a possible upward movement driven by the discount effect on the metal, or continued decline following President Trump's announcement. What are your thoughts on how these tariffs might influence copper prices moving forward? ✅ Please share your thoughts about HG1! in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

COPPER Top of 4-year Rising Wedge. Sell.Copper (HG1!) eventually followed the bearish break-out signal we gave on our last analysis (April 03, see chart below) and within 2 days it hit our 4.1250 Target: Right now the price sits at the top of the 4-year Rising Wedge pattern and on the 1W time-frame it is a textbook technical sell signal. With the 1W RSI also rejected on a Lower Highs trend-line, we are looking to aim for the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) at least. Every Bearish Leg since the July 11 2022 Low, reached at least its 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level before rebounding again. As a result, our Target is 4.700, which given a fair 3-month time-frame, should be at the time marginally below the 1W MA50, in line with all previous bottoms of the Rising Wedge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
