Copper futures went from strength to strength early Monday, taking out all near-term resistance levels to strike another multi-year high. Price has traded above the psychological 400.00 level as well as nearby Fib projections. With momentum studies bullish (but overbought) and moving average signals also pointing north, further gains are likely near-term. $421.72, the 3% Upper Bollinger Band, appears to have provided some resistance, but a clear through here opens up the 2011 highs of 464.95 longer-term.
