As you can see, Good ole Doc Copper formed yet another double top pattern (bearish) before weakness ensued. This weakness has Copper working on a dual breakdown of support at (1). This support is marked by the 38% Fibonacci level along with the rising uptrend line. So it’s important!
Currently, the price of Copper is breaking down through this support at (1). And this is concerning.
Historically soft copper has translated into a softer economy going forward. Stay tuned!
