Are Copper Futures Prices About To Move Higher Again?

The price of copper is already elevated and one of may inflationary indicators investors are watching. Well, it appears to be headed higher again.

On a weekly basis, copper futures reversed off the 40-week moving average and the lower end of its regression trend channel. 

This reversal lead to a move above last week’s high, and this triggered a trading buy signal with an initial target at the MOB band.

I think it’s wise to watch the 40-week moving average at 4066 and use that as an area that would negate this buy signal. A weekly close above the MOB (4676) would be considered a breakout and then target 5000, which is the secondary MOB and the upper end of the price channel.
