Copper futures have recovered from yesterday’s low of $428.20. Support at $437.60, Jan 18 low was breached last week. Note too that the contract has also cleared the 50-day EMA. This break lower undermines the recent bullish theme and signals potential for a deeper sell-off towards $423.20, the Dec 20 low. A clear break of this support would expose $411.95 further out, Dec 15 low. Key resistance has been defined at $460.10, Jan 12 high.
