QCG2026 trade ideas

How to determine how far a correction will goTo assess the extent of a market correction, I examine the price action around Fibonacci retracement levels and use the RSI for additional confirmation. On the Comex Copper futures chart, the market has executed a 50% retracement and bounced significantly from that level. The RSI has corrected its overbought condition and is attempting to stabilize around the 40 level. I am optimistic about a potential recovery from here but will need further confirmation from either the RSI or the price action. The RSI could still fall and test the 30 level. At this stage, we cannot rule out a 61.8% retracement, though a 78.6% retracement seems unlikely given the current RSI position.

COPPER Going well according to our long-term plan.Last time we looked at Copper (HG1!), we established our long-term strategy (April 19, see chart below), which involves a new Bull Cycle, through a Channel Up pattern similar to 2020 - 2021: So far the plan goes flawlessly, as the price hit the top of the (green) Channel Up and is now pulling back. The 1W MA50 is about to complete a Golden Cross with the 1W MA200, the first one since January 11 2021! On the shorter term (current chart on 1D) the price is approaching the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), which is the short-term Support but as with last time, we expect it to marginally break before Copper bottoms and makes a new Higher Low on the long-term Channel Up. To those who missed an early buy, we recommend entering once the 1D RSI hits its Support Zone. Our medium-term Target is 5.200 (Resistance 1). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

US Copper Futures Soar to Record HighsUS Copper Futures Soar to Record Highs • Copper futures hit a new all-time high • Renewable energy, electric cars, and AI bolster copper’s demand outlook • The outlook for copper looks promising Copper futures hit a new all-time high Copper soared to a new record high, continuing a months-long rally fueled by financial investors who have entered the market expecting supply shortages. Copper prices have been soaring since the beginning of this year, rising by 29% year-to-date. Copper futures at COMEX traded at $5 per pound as of 15 May, marking the highest level since March 2022, when the base metal's price reached an all-time high. The global copper market is experiencing significant turmoil due to a substantial squeeze in the New York market, where prices hit an all-time high last week. The short squeeze caused prices on the Comex exchange to reach an unprecedented premium over the LME, prompting a scramble to redirect metal supplies to the US. Renewable energy, electric cars, and AI bolster copper’s demand outlook Copper prices have surged recently due to increasing optimism regarding lower interest rates and stimulus measures from top importer China. Additionally, expectations of tighter supplies, resulting from production cuts in China and stricter sanctions on Russian metal exports, have driven buying interest in copper. This surge in copper prices is primarily driven by its crucial role in growing industries, including electronic vehicles and AI chip manufacturing. This growing demand is particularly pronounced in China, whose economy is still regaining momentum in these key industries. Demand is outpacing new supply for now, furthering the rapid rise in futures prices. The Chinese market is expected to see inventories withdrawal soon with exports rising," Gong Ming, an analyst with Jinrui Futures Co, said to Bloomberg. Outlook for copper looks promising According to S&P Global: "Copper prices are anticipated to ascend in the long term as a result of the clean energy transition, notwithstanding prevailing short-term apprehensions." The organization forecasts that copper demand will double, reaching 50 million metric tons by 2035. The most significant demands are expected to emanate from the US, China, Europe, and India. According to Statista, total copper mine production amounted to approximately 22 million metric tons in 2023, up from 16 million metric tons in 2010. Projected growth suggests that worldwide production will reach 30 million metric tons by 2036, assuming production continues at the same pace. However, this projected increase falls significantly short of the anticipated surge in demand. Meanwhile, the copper mining industry is set for a slowdown in the upcoming year. A report by Goldman Sachs indicated that investment in mining companies in 2022 was nearly 50% lower than the expenditure in 2010. Disruptions in copper mines, often occurring in Latin America, could result in a widening deficit in copper supply from 2024 onwards.

Africa the new Chinese Copper ColonyThis day has seen the price differential between the COMEX and the London Metal Exchange (LME) seen as a support for the consolidation of the UK market. The copper market has been experiencing tensions due in part to the closure of one of the most important mines in Latin America located in Panama, coupled with the reduction of production forecasts from several suppliers. China's focus on lending, investment and trade with Africa as a whole has generated a beneficial exchange in which billions of dollars have been committed to construction projects led by President Xi's Silk Road initiative. Chinese investments in Africa increased by 114% according to Australia's Griffith University, where their focus is highly concentrated on extracting minerals for the energy transition and China's plans to lead and revive its own economy. Such trade also requires oil, agricultural and manufacturing products, as China's deficit has ballooned. Public-private infrastructure development (PPP) loan agreements appear to be China's channel for acquiring raw materials in exchange for finished goods. Recently, the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank, reported that investments from 2023 to 2025 have been increasing to $11 billion, of which $7.8 billion went into mining, such as the Khoemacau copper mine in Bostwana, which China's MMG Ltd acquired for $1.9 billion, as well as lithium and cobalt mines in countries such as Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The hunt for critical minerals has also extended to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where the Chinese government is developing the Atlantic coast corridor called the Lobito Corridor, to send metals from Zambia to Congo, the development of the Nairboi Expressway, the development of automobile tracks in Kenya or the railroad line that was cancelled in Uganda. What can be detected in the Chinese economic model is the generation of a hyperdependence of “colony-metropolis” that was previously occurring with European countries such as France, or the United States in those countries, and this control of monetary power is being transferred to China. Looking at the July copper futures chart, there has been a gradual escalation in price since February, where major African contracts with China through the BRICs began to be backed by Gold and intensified, and this forced the repatriation of millions of dollars sitting in fort nox bunkers and respective domestic warehouses in the US. It would not be unusual to see a price contraction to previous areas of 383 because the demand for copper has been able to match pure speculation prices of 2022, where there is no real demand to cover that supply, because none of the technology consuming countries are at their best. This, added to the inflation problem, may be affecting and causing copper to remain bullish, just like the rest of the metals. But not because of real market demand, but because of inflation. Its high of 519.75 could be pierced again because of inflation, but as soon as inflation is corrected if market demand remains as poor, copper will fall in price to plummeting lows. In any case, a bullish continuation is very feasible in the short term.

Copper: The Next Big Boom - Prices Could Skyrocket to $40,000Hedge fund manager Pierre Andurand predicts that copper prices could surge to $40,000 per tonne in the coming years due to soaring demand. Currently priced at around $11,000 per tonne, copper has already seen a 20% increase this year. The demand is driven by the electrification of various sectors, including electric vehicles, renewable energy sources, military uses, and data centers. Andurand, who manages approximately $2 billion in assets at Andurand Capital, forecasts this dramatic rise based on the doubling of demand growth for copper. He acknowledges that although a supply response is expected, it will take more than five years to materialize. This sentiment is echoed by former Goldman Sachs executive Jeff Currie, who also predicts significant price increases, albeit to a more conservative $15,000 per tonne. The transport sector's copper demand is projected to grow over 11 times by 2050, with electric vehicles alone requiring substantial amounts of copper wiring. Additionally, the expansion of the global electricity grid will necessitate a 4.8-fold increase in copper demand by 2050. The copper supply gap is projected to reach 10 million tonnes by 2030, as per BloombergNEF estimates. Despite not being widely known in the US, Andurand has a solid track record in commodities trading, with his funds experiencing an 83% increase in value this year. The rising copper prices reflect broader trends in the metals market, driven by strong demand and historically low inventories. Significant growth in copper demand is also anticipated from developing countries, particularly China, India, and Indonesia, which are experiencing exponential increases in consumption.

HG Copper Futures LONGHG - copper demand is higher this year as the economy expands globally. On the 60 minute chart price hit a high pivot on May 15th and pulled back in a standard Fib 0.5 fhsion. Price has touched the upper boundary of that support three times and has now printed a wide range green HA candle. I believe that this is a reversal pattern and will take a long trade here targeting the pivot high mentioned. This is a 5% expectant profit amplified by the leverage of a futures trade.I see this as a safe trade of a commodity that has a bullish bias overall. I am also looking for some increased volume at this juncture to assure that some buying momentum is coming into the market.

Copper Prices Refresh All-Time HighsTechnicals Suggesting a Correction to Support for Copper The metals complex has been on fire; copper futures (COMEX) recently touched gloves with a fresh record high of $5.1990 per pound. This followed last week printing its largest one-week gain (+8.3%) since early February 2022. You may also note that the metal shook hands with a 1.272% Fibonacci projection ratio at $5.1060 (many harmonic traders will view this as an ‘alternate’ AB=CD ratio) and, as of current prices, price action is forming what many technical analysts will recognise as a bearish shooting star candlestick formation. Should a correction occur from current prices, as suggested by the chart’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) closing in on levels not seen since May 2021 (indicator resistance at 83.82), support warrants attention at $4.8890. What is Driving the Metals Markets? This is a tricky one at the moment. The surge in copper could be based on the expectation of Chinese demand. According to a post from Reuters, ‘China's finance ministry plans to start raising 1 trillion yuan ($138 billion) in long-awaited, long-term special treasury bonds this week to raise funds it will use to stimulate key sectors of its flagging economy’. Fuelling further buying, of course, will be speculation and the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). It is also interesting to see the price of gold refresh all-time highs of $2,450 simultaneously, as copper and gold tend to offer different economic signals. Some desks claim central bank buying is behind the rally in gold.

HG Copper Futures- Short to Long SetupHG is on the 30 minute chart with a set of EMAs ( 7- blue 20-red and 100-black) ascended 6 % in 7 days from the morning of 4/23 to the evening of 4/29. This is traded with a leverage of 25. A short trade taken on the reversal is now impending closure. The short falls faster than the long climbs and will yield about another 6% in 24 hours or so. The trade is setup to close when price crosses the EMA7 and stays above it for three consecutive candles ( 90 minutes). I long trade will then be contemplated to continue to take full advantage of the volatility. The RSI indicator should show a rise toward the 50 level to validate a long trade and some green buying volume candles should print. Rinse and repeat.
