Recent gains in Copper futures are still considered corrective, despite a print above $435.50, May 23 high. A key resistance is seen at $441.06, the 50-day EMA. A reversal lower would reinforce bearish conditions and refocus attention on support at $403.70, the May 12 low and key support. For bulls, a clear break of the 50-day EMA is required to instead suggest scope for a stronger recovery.
