But what about copper ?

  1. Now back down to $3.14....so yesterday looks like short covering.
    The media still reports of a coming weak China market and for lower commodity prices as a result. Still, it hasn't happened.

  2. Indeed - it was also a "head fake". July holding onto $3.09. Draghi's speech effect with positive notes to Euro housing likely to fade eventually.
    How long before we are at that magical $3.00 level ?

    Mid May I still have the Call option spreads and went short July Copper, got stopped out a few times at breakeven or small losses, the shorts at end of May, am still in as add-on trades and added to a beautiful Head & Shoulders Wednesday, all should have seen that. I just keep short, eventually it will go down or I get stopped out. I just am a Monkey and trade my rules.

  5. Bounce off of the $3.02 level today....July contract.
    Shorting can be dangerous at these low levels....that's obvious now.

  7. July has moved up to 3.11 ? Incredible.
    See previous posts....no logic to this market.
    Now in "risk-off" mode.

  8. July contract hit $3.16 today.

    Reason: low, low LME stocks....now at 159,425 tons.

    I need to post a chart to see recent price action.

    looking at chart, one can see formidable defence at 3. spanning for 3 years.

    this may develop in large bull market based on "if it cant go down then has to go up".

    I would not be short here!!

    Has bull run started already ? Spec positions sure suggest that this is high probability scenario.

  10. Indeed 3.0 is an important hold level. Next hold appears to be around 2.75.
