The resistance is provided by the 138.2% projection level of an upward wave c from $5,776. Working together with this barrier is another one at $6,072, the 38.2% retracement on the downtrend from $6,608.50 to $5,740.

When copper failed to break $6,072 in its first attempt on June 11, it started a very deep correction. The current two resistances may cause another correction. Upon the completion of the correction in the target range, copper may resume its uptrend towards $6,174.

A break above $6,075 could confirm the continuation of the uptrend towards $6,174.
