As the trading day comes to an end, chart analysis indicates Copper could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 2 cents away from $3.68. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead. Technical analysis trend indicators suggest that the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is below -100, meaning the market price is unusually low and below its rolling moving average. Technical analysis indicates that a new, strong downtrend could be forthcoming with short positions favored. Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of $3.69 currently serving as support. If price action breaks below, the next Fib hurdle is $3.64. According to asset volatility analysis, Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $3.69, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that CME Copper is trading below its fair value.
