Copper futures traded higher yesterday, however, a bearish threat remains present. Moving average studies are in a bear mode position and this highlights a downtrend. A key support at $336.10, Sep 6 low, was cleared late September. This strengthened a bearish case and has exposed $313.55, Jul 15 low. Key resistance is unchanged at $378.35, the Aug 26 high. A break would cancel a bearish theme and highlight an important bullish break.
