Copper futures have added to recent gains. Note that this upward cycle is still likely a short-term correction. Price however has cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs and this has exposed resistance at $445.96, the top of a bear channel drawn off the Oct 10 high. A breakout of the channel would highlight a stronger bullish theme exposing potentially, $458.60 further out, the Jul 27 high. $423.05 marks initial firm support, Aug 26 low.
