Copper Elliott Wave Idea - Bullish Cycle Started?Taking a look at something other than Crude Oil for a change.
It appears that Copper is out of a 10 year bear cycle and a bull cycle started in 2016.
A look at the beginning; you can see wave 3 hit the 4.618 extension of wave 1 perfectly and then corrected perfectly to the 0.236 level for wave 4 >
If you add in the subwaves of wave 5 there is also a nice 0.236 correction of wave 3 for wave 4 >
All that would suggest an impulse move up and 4.0505 was the end of a larger degree wave 1.
If you look at the following years from 2006 to 2016 it appears to be a multi-year correction in the form of WXYXZ > It completed at exactly the 0.618 level at 1.9300 >
Looking at recent time it looks as though the first impulse wave up is completed and now in the correction, possibly to the 0.618 retracement area before up for wave 3 >
A look at daily level we could be in wave B of Y > the 0.618 extension lines up nicely with the 0.618 retracement level.
Something to keep an eye on I think as it could turn out to be a nice long trade with a stop loss below 1.9260
Copper well poised to resume its upword journey.Copper respecting channels and momentum built up to resume its up word journey. A close below 4.2945 would be a price point to reconsider my view.
Commodities - Copper Topped OutIdea for Copper:
- Commodities Cycle is topped out.
- Copper in Trade and Trend Distribution patterns.
- Clear 5 wave Impulse completed.
- Re-tested resistance and rejected.
- Price will bleed out to complete the Head & Shoulders then capitulate.
TP1: 3.44 very likely.
TP2: 2.78
PT: 1.97
Global markets are not moving back into Goldilocks, no matter what the media is blaring. Reflation Overshoot Trade is over. Exposure should be given to Stagflation and Deflation trades.

COPPER: PRICE DROP DOWN | WAITING FOR NEW BUY SCENARIO 🔔Copper prices fell on Tuesday, as increasing inventories in global exchanges and worries about possible governmental price control measures in top consumer China weighed on sentiment, despite data showing solid copper imports in the first quarter.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell 0.1% to $8,856.50 a tonne by 0706 GMT , while the most-traded May copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed down 0.3% at 65,870 yuan ($10,055.72) a tonne.
A rise in the prices of global commodities has led to Chinese top officials emphasizing the need to cap prices to reduce cost for firms and control inflation .
However, China’s January-March copper imports were the highest first-quarter amount since at least 2008, on rising demand and easing logistics issues.
“(There’s been) too much good news baked in, so much so that looking forward, there is expectation of tighter monetary conditions and (China’s) State Reserve Bureau’s release of supplies to help industrial firms cope with rising raw material cost,” said a Singapore-based metals trader.
“But I think this is a dip to buy anything between here and $8,800 is worth picking up,” the trader said, adding that data were backward looking.
Copper Down Long TermThe recent record highs in copper seems to be quite over done.
Chart has formed a backward wedge of some sort, which typically reverses down.
Expect copper to slowly move south over the coming month to the 61% FIb level.
Falling WedgeIt was in a downwards trend, then found some support. Now downwards trend became downwards wedge, trade in wedge or wait for break.
Chart and moving average says to short for 8hrs to stay in the wedge pattern and retrace to the support line...
Time to Buy CopperCopper consolidated significantly after reaching overbought levels on weekly charts even. Now it has reached a very strong support level from where it should bounce back. I have decided to go long on copper from 3.45 and will ride it to the 3.65 levels. A good time to Buy Copper
