Copper prices shifted from a bearish trend to a neutral one in the beginning of 2016. However, since it tagged 2.3, it has been trading in a falling channel as we can see in the daily chart.Copper Daily Chart 7/26(click to enlarge)Possible Breakout:- As we can see in the daily chart, price tested the channel resistance, fell towards 2.10, but surged again to crack the resistance.- It looks like a possible bullish breakout is taking place. - However, if we look at the smaller time-frame, it looks like the market is putting in a price top against this bullish breakout attempt.Copper 4H Chart 7/26(click to enlarge)Possible Price Top:- The 4H chart shows that price is stuck under 2.28. - There has been some consolidation below 2.28 but above 2.20.- However, price is cracking that support area around 2.20. -It looks like a possible price top has formed. - This means a failed bullish breakout attempt, which can translate into a bearish mode, at least within the falling channel seen in the daily chart. - The first, conservative bearish target would be the 2.12 area - July's low. - Below that, the 2.0-2.02 area would be in sight. Central Pivot:- It looks like there is a cluster of resistance around 2.24: a previous pivot and 50-period simple moving average.- 2.24 also represents the central pivot of the "price top".- A break above 2.24, or 2.25 could challenge the price top and invalidate the bearish outlook.- In this scenario (a break above 2.25), we should anticipate further extension above the current high, to test 2.3 with 2.4 in sight as well. - 2.4 will be a key pivot so let's limit any bullish outlook in the short to medium-term to 2.4.
