LME copper may retrace to $5,980 before rising this week

Published Updated

SINGAPORE: LME copper may seek a support at $5,980 per tonne before testing a resistance at $6,122 this week, as suggested by its wave pattern and a Fibonacci ratio analysis.

The support and the resistance are identified as the 23.6 percent and the 14.6 percent projection levels of a downward wave C from $6,352. This is the third wave of a three-wave cycle from $7,348. It is capable of travelling to $5,379.

Three waves make up the wave C. The second wave labelled b is driving the current bounce which may be limited to $6,122. A retracement analysis on the fall from $6,352 to $5,725 reveals a similar resistance at $6,112, the 61.8 percent level.

A break below $5,980 may cause a loss to $5,873. A further fall could signal the continuation of the downtrend towards $5,750.
