Copper, Weekly (log), The 2008 AnalogyLet's see what the 2008 analogy says about the next thing. Currently, we can observe a similarity in many charts, e.g., the S&P 500 index, VIX, gold, and USOIL / UKOIL, to what was happening in 2008. Copper is no exception, and the analogy indicates copper's price decline. If the price follows it perfectly, the declines may end in the second zone. But I do not expect such accuracy; there is also the closer (first) zone, which can bring it on. I will write no more about it, why it may happen. Check out the related ideas.
COPPER looks doomed on the long-term. Sell the rallies.Copper (HG1!) on the 1W time-frame appears to be repeating the previous major Bear Cycle that started in 2011/12. Based on this fractal analysis, the recent 1W rejection just below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) puts us at a proportionate level as on the February 06 2012 1W candle. Having rebounded on the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) both on the July 11 and September 26 candles, we expect initially to reach it again and then rebound to make a Lower High and form a trend-line similar to that of 2012 - 2014 that made structured Highs to sell that took Copper to the 2.000 - 1.9360 Support Zone.
This long-term bearish pattern will get invalidated if the price breaks above the 0.618 Fibonacci extension, which was where (slightly below) the price was rejected on the February 06 2012 1W candle.

Commodity OutlookRecession may be a red herring for a market fuelled by a supercycle
While broad commodities have outperformed most major asset classes year-to-date1, the pressure of rising interest rates, a strong US dollar and fears of several large economies tipping into recession has led to a pull-back since the summer of 2022. In our Market Outlook, we argued that the current negative business cycle pressures on commodities are likely to be temporary and give way to the larger forces pushing the demand for commodities higher and constraining supply of those commodities.
Historically, commodities have been a cyclical asset class, generally declining when the business cycle turns negative. But even history illustrates that commodity prices can continue to rise long after a business cycle has turned if fundamentals are supportive. Oil price shocks in the 1970s and 80s are a case in point. Admittedly they are unusual cycles but, today, we are likely to be living in another energy price shock.
Energy price shocks continue
Since we published our Market Outlook, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and partner countries (OPEC+) has announced a large cut to oil production from November 2022, amounting to 2 million barrels per day. As we expected in our Outlook, OPEC+ reacted to the price weakness in oil after the summer and sought to raise prices of Brent oil to over US$90/barrel (prices had fallen to US$84/barrel on 26 September 2022, just over a week before the OPEC decision). They have been successful in keeping prices above US$90/barrel since that decision but have laid the groundwork for further cuts by painting a pessimistic picture on demand forecasts (giving the group an excuse to intervene in the market again). Meanwhile, the Ukraine war shows no sign of improving and natural gas supplies into Europe from Russia have fallen to a trickle. The European Union has taken various measures to try to soften the shock. However, we view several of the proposals with scepticism. For example, introducing price caps on natural gas imports could simply divert natural gas to other countries and worsen the energy shortage for the EU. Interfering with price benchmarks, such as the Title Transfer Facility (TTF), could send incorrect pricing signals and lead to overconsumption of energy resulting in additional shortages2.
Supply shortages of commodities extend beyond energy
A combination of rising energy prices and interest rates have driven many metal smelters to shutter production. High fertiliser prices (petrochemical product) are also constraining crop yields.
Looking across the commodity spectrum, all commodities have lower-than-normal levels of inventory.
Base metal supply is especially low
The inventory of base metals is considerably lower than their respective 5-year averages, yet base metals have seen the largest price declines of all the commodity sub-sectors. The markets are pricing in demand weakness from an economic deceleration. However, demand has not weakened yet. On the other hand, supply is declining fast.
Let’s take the example of copper. The International Copper Study Group (ICSG)’s first forecast for 2022 copper balances (demand less supply), cast on October 2021, was for a sizeable surplus of 328 thousand tonnes. Its latest forecast (cast on 19 October 2022) is for a deficit of 328 thousand tonnes in 2022. Judging by historical revisions, their 2023 forecast of a surplus is likely to be revised down.
Their initial forecasts tended to assume no production disruptions. Yet, as we have observed this year, production disruptions can be very large.
China’s economic deceleration is countered by policy support
China’s zero-COVID polices have slowed economic growth and, thus, its demand for commodities. That matters because China is the largest commodity consumer in the world. However, its central bank has been loosening policy and President Xi has called for an ‘all-out effort’ to increase infrastructure spending (and given local governments free rein to raise debt financing to fund these projects).
However, the future course of China’s policy will become clearer after we write this blog. At the time of writing (21 October 2022), China's 20th Communist Party Congress is still in process and will wrap up in the coming days. Xi Jinping is poised to clinch his third five-year term in charge of the nation. We expect national security to take a greater role in policy priority than the economy.
Commodity supercycle
An energy transition and a revitalised global infrastructure spend are likely to drive the demand for commodities significantly higher over the coming years. However, today, we are living in the down-phase of a business cycle. Even though many commodity markets are visibly tight, commodities are not sufficiently pricing the tightness. The Inflation Reduction Act in the US and the Infrastructure Bill are both strong tailwinds for commodity demand. In Europe, the sharp focus on weaning off Russian energy dependency is adding a new urgency to the energy transition, and we expect to see accelerated energy infrastructure plans take place.
Conclusion
As a headline, economies going into recession doesn’t inspire huge confidence in a commodity rebound. However, history does suggest that an economic slowdown combined with high inflation has been associated with positive commodity and gold performance. The energy price shock has set off a vicious circle of supply contraction from metals, fertilisers, and other energy intensive commodities. The energy transition and infrastructure led supercycle remains in play even if short-term business cycle phenomena dictate headlines today. As we emerge from this phase of the business cycle, we may find commodity markets extraordinarily tight.

Preferred case: On the H4 chart, we have a bearish bias. To add confluence to this, price is under the Ichimoku cloud which indicates a bearish market. If this bearish momentum continues, expect price to possibly head towards the Pivot at 3.5545, where the 61.8% Fibonacci line is.

Copper down 5 days in a row; 3.5545 is keyThe industrial metal topped on March 7th at 5.0395. However, for the next 3 months, HG sold off aggressively and made a July 15th low at 3.1315! Fears of increased inflation, increased interest rates, and increased Covid cases in China led to a fear of lack of future demand. Copper traded between 3.2430 and 3.7830 from mid-July and November 10th, when it gapped higher the day after a lower-than-expected US CPI reading. However, Copper was stopped just short of the 200-Day Moving Average near 3.9600 on November 14th, and it hasn’t looked back since. After a 5-day selloff, is copper ready to bounce?
News of additional lockdowns and the “take-back” of a loosening of restrictions caused Copper to continue lower. Copper traded to horizontal support on Monday near 3.5545. If this price breaks, copper may easily fall to 3.3625. The next horizontal support levels are at the lows from September 28th at 3.2430, then the lows from July 15th at 3.1315.
However, don’t be surprised if there is some profit-taking ahead of the long US holiday at the end of the week. Sellers will be looking to add to shorts if price does bounce. The first resistance level is at the August 26th highs of 3.893, then a confluence of resistance at:
1. the highs of November 14th
2. the 200 Day Moving Average,
3. the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the highs of June 3rd to the lows of July15th.
This resistance zone is between 3.9600 and 4.0250.
However, 3.5545 seems to be the “make or break” level for copper. If it breaks, copper could be on its way to the next support at 3.3625. But if it holds, it could bounce to the 4.000 area!
Copper (COPPER/INR) Commodity Analysis 18/07/2021 Technical Analysis:
As you can see, there exist a hidden Bullish Divergence with MACD which is the sign of bullish trend continuation as Copper has started its bullish wave since March 2020. It is moving in an ascending channel. We draw Fibonacci retracement from the low to the top of last impulsive wave which are defined as the Fib levels on chart. The commodity fell to 78% Fibonacci Retracement and it is consolidating and accumulating on Fibonacci Golden Zone currently. we believe this commodity is getting ready to shoot to the higher targets which are defined by Fibonacci Projection tool of the past wave.
Metals to Break its All Time High AgainMetals to Break its All Time High. I have discussed about Gold before and in this tutorial we will study into Copper.
From last week Fed chairman statement, he said “it is premature to be talking about pausing our rate hike. We have a ways to go."
The continuous inflation is almost a certainty into next year, and what asset or instrument works well with inflation?

Dr. Copper: Melt-Up Has BegunMassive daily green candle broke out of 3-month pennant and gaussian channel after bouncing off multiple moving averages, most importantly the 200 week SMA. The move also has the highest volume since March. Long RSI trend has been broken too. Back in July, I called for a bottom and an accumulation phase for copper (See Below). It played out. Price needs to take out the August high to confirm that it's out of accumulation phase, but with such strong momentum, it wouldn't be surprising if price disrespects it on Monday next week.
