  • SUP 2: $431.35 - Low Jan 6

Copper futures have failed so far, to challenge resistance at $460.10, the Jan 12 high. Recent gains have defined a key short-term support at $437.60, Jan 18 low and just below the 50-day EMA. Attention is on resistance at $460.10, Jan 12 high where a break would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and expose $462.18, a Fibonacci retracement. Weakness below $437.60 and the 50-day EMA at $444.06 would instead signal scope for a deeper pullback.
