Copper is facing bullish pressure, potential for further upside Price is facing bullish pressure from our first support and a break above our upside confirmation level could provide the bullish acceleration to our first resistance target. Stochastic and Ichimoku cloud are showing signs of bullish pressure as well, in line with our bullish bias.
Copper
COPPER Don't miss the 2 year bull runA very important long-term pattern was just formed on Copper. On the 1M time-frame, the MA50 (blue line) and the MA100 (green line) have formed a Golden Cross. Last time that happened was in August 2004. Copper rose by +370% from the MA100 break-out level.
The Cycle seems to be repeated as the Golden Cross has come after the price Double Bottomed last March (2020). Same with the November 2001 Double Bottom. Additionally, the LMACD is replicating the exact same sequence.
For me Copper is a dip buy action on every 1M candle from now on.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COPPER
Last week, COMEX copper futures closed higher at $3.6320 per pound. Copper prices were at highs not seen since February 2013.
Speculative trading is still pushing copper prices, however, net positions in the net commitments of COT traders, after exceeding 80K for the first time, fell slightly last week to 72.12K.
Copper stocks are historically low at 269453 MT, a drop of more than 10% in one week and 16% in December. As can be seen on the stock chart below, total stocks of the red metal are at historically low levels not seen in the last 5 years.
China, the main consumer of copper, is in a phase of accelerated growth, with a recovery in the electronics and automotive exporting sector which has boosted demand for industrial metals.
Figures released last week show that in November the Chinese economy continued to accelerate, a process driven by the recovery in domestic and external demand. Industrial production increased by 7%, the highest rate in 20 months, and investment is supported by government infrastructure programs. Expectations suggest that credit growth and stimulus will continue in 2021, the year for which the IMF forecasts GDP growth of 8.1%.
On the international front, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced Sunday evening that a $900 billion deal would be reached. The Fed said its purchases of securities would continue at the current rate of $120 billion per month until substantial additional progress has been made. The brexit saga continues, with the European Parliament's Sunday night deadline for a deal passed, but negotiations will continue. No one seems to want to take responsibility for a possible failure. After Pfizer, the FDA also approved Moderna's vaccine. As far as the pandemic is concerned, the vaccination campaign has started in the United States. The new strain of coronavirus detected in Great Britain worries, it would be 70% more contagious. The global death toll is rising, we have just passed 76 million cases worldwide, with more than 1.692 million deaths. The United States is still the most affected country, with 317,000 deaths and more than 17 million cases.
The Dollar fell last week, with the DXY closing lower at 89.924, hitting a 2 1/2 year low. The long-term trend is still bearish.
ECONOMIC RESULTS
- On Monday, industrial production in the Euro zone came out at +2.1% compared to +0.1% the previous month.

THE DOLLAR
The DXY index representing the Dollar against a basket of foreign currencies closed last week down to 89.924, hitting a 2 1/2 year low. The long-term trend is still bearish. The possibilities of reaching an agreement on a contingency plan to support the U.S. economy, as well as the possibility of an economic recovery, are expected to continue.
Disappointing economic results weighed on the currency last week. Indeed, U.S. Retail Sales down to -0.9% and Unemployment Claims up to 885K disappointed.
A low dollar is generally favorable for dollar-denominated commodity markets.

$1 Copper by 2025Time Fib plus a descending triangle plus some economics about commodity prices and the deflationary dollar for the next 2 years; all that says that copper is dropping by 43% from its current price at $2.5 per pound, reaching $1.42 by the end of 2022. This breaks the descending triangle downward setting a target of $0.83. It sounds crazy, but I'm simply looking at the chart. The Fib zones time the reversal to take place in late 2024 early 2025 where the nearest resistance is the $1.25 to $1.42 range.
Copper is facing bullish pressure, potential for further risePrice is facing bullish pressure from our first support in line with our 61.8% Fibonacci extension, 76.4% Fibonacci retracement and horizontal swing low support, where we remain bullish above this level.
