Copper Inflects off Support – Daily and Weekly View

A lot of analysts have been watching copper for signs of life that might signal an early recovery is in the works.  Let’s look at Copper’s Weekly and Daily chart for clues.

Last week, I posted the ambitious post “Copper Comes into Confluence Resistance,” and price fulfilled my expectations for a downswing off the confluence resistance of the 50 week and 200 day moving averages.

On the weekly chart, it would seem we have a bit of room to run down to test the rising 20 week EMA at $185, but the daily chart gives a possible argument for a bounce off current levels.

Zooming in, we see a very positive trend structure for Copper Prices, having been officially confirmed now as being in an uptrend.

First, price came into key resistance via the 200 day SMA which held last week which resulted in the swing down to the $200 level.  Now, price appears to be finding support at the rising 20 day EMA, and if bulls hold that level, then odds favor a break above the $220 resistance into new highs.

A new momentum high has formed, which hints that a new price high is yet to come.  This would set up the “Impulse Buy” trade (which suggests to buy the first pullback into the 20 EMA after a new price and momentum high).

On a separate note, I mentioned that the US Dollar Index might be experiencing a Bear Flag sell signal, which would further be bullish for Copper and other commodities.

Let’s keep watching Copper closely for continued signs of life, or to see if buyers are unable to hold these levels as expected.
