A corrective cycle in Copper futures that started May 20 has resulted in a strong pullback recently. The contract has traded through the 20-day EMA and this has exposed the firmer support at 454.99, the 50-day EMA. It has been pierced, a clear break of the average would suggest potential for a deeper retracement. Key resistance has been defined at 519.90, the May 20 high. Clearance of this level would resume the uptrend.
