A bear cycle in Copper futures remains intact and the recovery that started Aug 7 is considered corrective - for now. The latest resumption of weakness reinforces this theme and opens $396.45, the Aug 7 low. Clearance of this support would expose $374.65, the Feb 9 low. The 50-day EMA has recently been pierced. A clear break of it would signal scope for stronger gains towards 444.30, the Jul 18 high. The EMA is at $426.13.
