Copper futures traded higher Friday but failed to hold onto the day’s gains and have reversed lower instead. This week’s move lower has resulted in a break of $355.10, the Aug 18 low. This activity undermines the recent bullish theme and instead highlights a potential reversal and signals scope for a deeper pullback. Attention is on $342.80 next, the Aug 4 low. Key resistance is at $378.35, Friday’s high. A break is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
