Copper futures remain on a tear, with new cycle and multi-year highs posted early Thursday. Price has established a base above the psychological 400.00 level as well as all nearby Fib projections. With momentum studies bullish (but overbought) and moving average signals also pointing north, further gains are likely near-term. $456.50, 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.
