China's manufacturing sector contracted for the fourth consecutive month in January, contributing to the negative sentiment.
With a robust US jobs report, expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in March have...
A bear flag is a bearish chart pattern that's formed by two declines separated by a brief consolidating retracement period. The flagpole forms on an almost vertical panic price drop as bulls get blindsided from the sellers, then a bounce that has parallel upper and lower trendlines, which form the flag.
The copper price in USD per ton since 2015 is rising within an upward (green) trend-channel with consolidations (red) followed by strong acceleration phases (yellow) suggesting that the correction since 2021 is coming to an end and that a new strong price increase is poised to start once the red resistance is broken and transformed into new support. Analysts in...
If you trust the recent 9/20 day moving average crossover enough to short copper, today's bounce back toward the 9MA might be a good one to sell.

On the left we see in formation the final leg of a nice ABCD harmonic pattern in copper futures— if it forms. The moving average crossover suggests otherwise.

Copper is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 59.350, MACD = 0.033, ADX = 19.471) as it is at the top of the 2023 Channel Down, but having failed to cross over it, opens the way for a big decline in the first quarter of 2024. As you can see the Channel Down that started last January looks very similar to the one in 2012/13. Both emerged after a Global peak...
Last time we looked at Copper (HG1!) 1.5 months ago (October 24), we caught the most optimal bottom buy signal:
The price action didn't only hit our Target but also broke above both the January 18 2023 Lower Highs trend-line and the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). The rejection that took place on Monday though, is giving rise to a new Falling Wedge pattern with...
