Copper futures traded sharply higher on Jun 2 but are currently retracing that day’s climb. The rally resulted in a break of the 50-day EMA and a breach of $444.85 and $454.56, 50.0% and 61.8% of the Apr 18 - May 12 downleg. An extension higher would open $466.58, the 76.4% retracement. The recovery since May 12 is however still considered corrective, a stronger bearish reversal would instead refocus attention on key support and a bear trigger at $403.70, May 12 low. Initial firm short-term support is at $420.35, May 26 low.
