Copper futures maintain a bearish theme despite the most recent recovery. This follows the recent failure at $447.15, on Sep 13. The subsequent reversal marked an important turn occurring just above the top of a bear channel drawn off the May 10 high. Furthermore, a Fibonacci retracement at 443.98 - 76.4% of the Jul 27 to Aug 19 downleg provided resistance. Scope is seen for a move towards $396.65, Aug 19 low. $447.15 is key resistance.
