Copper Futures HG1!
COPPER Losing Some Steam for NowOverall, I am still bullish on Copper to the mid $3.50 range. However, at this moment I am expecting a pull back because of a stronger dollar, a weak AUD, were at channel resistance, divergence, and we have made 3 waves up. I am expecting at least a rebound back to the 2.90 area, but I think 2.50-2.60 is very likely where we will have levels of support. At this point, I would strongly suggest to take off bullish bets and bet on the downside to happen.
Copper back on the way up??#Copper #HG on the up this morning on stronger momentum . A turning point (2.9135 Fib 61.8 zone) after recent sell off? Support 2.9135 Fib, then 2.8305? Cur trading 2.9804

Copper ShortHave no idea how this makes any sense fundamentally... but i like the RR on the short here.
No idea what makes it happen but see 2.13 on the cards !
Short Bonds & Long Copper | Copper/Gold vs. 10yr YieldsIt looks like the Bond market hasn't priced in growth or we're going to see a nasty reversion trade in the materials sector and a bond pop.
The Copper / Gold pair is a great proxy for inflation due to the divergent properties of the 2 metals. Copper is purely an industrial metal and a proxy for inflationary growth so the 10yr reacts correspondingly. Gold, on the other hand is a precious metal and trades similar to a monetary instrument and is loosely correlated to the long-end from the inverse yield relationship.

Copper: Getting Ready to LongAfter the amazing bullish run late last year Copper has been consolidating. I am now getting ready for the possibility that the correction is soon to be completed and looking for long set-ups.
This wave count is by no means an expert wave count or meant to be exact but conveys my idea that there was a motive wave followed by a three wave correction (labeled (A)-(B)-(C) in the parallel channel (flag?)) that may be close to completing.
My two areas of interest are:
~2.45 -- in this area Wave (A) = Wave (C). It is also the .5 retracement of the impulsive leg in copper which started in October, and may coincide with the bottom of the channel/flag
~2.38 -- in this are Wave (C) = 1.272 * Wave (A), and is also the .618 reatracement of the impulsive leg from October as well as the .5 retracement from last year's low to this year's high. A further drop to this level may also allow RSI to drop into oversold which would be a more ideal situation.
My plan is to continue my recent strategy by trying to enter with very small risk upon a bullish candle on the small time frame once Copper reaches this zone, and move stops to breakeven after I am up a few pips (see my linked idea on the Canadian Dollar for more details about this strategy).
If you have any comments or feedback on this idea or your own view on Copper please share! Best of luck in your trades.
Copper (HG) looking weaker in the short term?Fundamentals around Copper, Steel rebar, Iron ore, Coal not looking so rosy currently. Technically Copper HG looking weak. Dec'16 lows could be next resistance at 2.4785 (Approx LME 5500), a further significant break here could see 38.2% Fib area tested (2.3425) then Nov lows of 2.09. Support may be found at 2.5935.
Copper long starts to build up.Wave C of wave 4 is unfolding as expected earlier. Aggressive long could be built up at around 2.533 and triple the position size around 2.443 if price drop to there.
COPPER HG1! on a possible Continuation PatternCOPPER HG HG1 HG1! respected the Trendlines highlighted in the previous posts; on the 4-hour chart it followed the Simple Moving Average ribbon as well.
A triangle formation is being reached now.
Could be a Continuation Pattern upwards.

HG1 HG Copper fake or break?COPPER HG HG1

#Patience and wait for a sign.

COPPER HG1! deciding between Bulls and BearsCopper HG1! has been trading in a channel lately, and in a couple of trades we profited by the bounce on the descending trendline (magenta in the chart).
Indicators look still quite bearish while the triangle pattern might suggest a continuation pattern high as I think it will go this direction but let's wait for confirmation.
Be ready for action!
