A medium-term bear cycle in Copper futures remains intact, however, a bullish corrective cycle is still in play and the contract has traded higher this week, extending the latest recovery. Resistance at $431.85, the Aug 27 high, has been cleared and this signals scope for a stronger short-term bull cycle. Sights are on $440.28 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm support to watch lies at $404.20, the Sep 5 low.
