LME copper to break support of $6,800/T soon

Published Updated

copperSINGAPORE: LME copper will fall below a pivotal support at $6,800 per tonne either on Wednesday or Thursday, and head towards $6,000 thereafter.

A medium-term downtrend is intact as indicated by both the wave pattern and a falling channel, and a downward wave (5) is expected to travel to $6,000 eventually.

The consolidation above $6,800 could be approaching an end, and to confirm the move towards $6,000, the metal needs to fall below $6,730.

A rise above $7,020 will extend to $7,200.
