Copper gains 0.8% today, now at $6.14

Highlights

Copper maintains bullish momentum in the short to medium term, with price trading well above key support levels.
Momentum indicators are mixed, as oversold oscillators contrast with prevailing bearish pressure and moderate intraday volatility.
For the next 2–3 days, copper is likely to trade sideways between $6.0717 and $6.2208, with a 77% probability of a downward move.

Technical signals mixed amid oscillators and bearish dominance

On the H1 chart, HG trades above the MA-20 at $6.1112 and MA-50 at $6.132, with the spot price also well above the MA-200 at $5.8794. Immediate technical support is identified at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $6.1058. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates selling pressure, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) points to underlying buyer strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 46.54 (Sell), with the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) both reflecting oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power signals seller dominance during the session, and the Awesome Oscillator confirms short-term downward momentum. Oscillator divergence against bearish trend readings creates a mixed technical picture on the intraday timeframe.

Sideways bias sets baseline as downside risk prevails

Over the next 2-3 trading days, HG is expected to fluctuate within a volatility band of $6.0717 to $6.2208. The probability of an upward move stands at 23%, while a downward move is more likely at 77%. The baseline scenario favors sideways movement anchored by support at $6.1058. Should price break above immediate resistance, higher levels could be targeted, while a slip below support exposes HG to further downside risk within the forecasted range.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees copper sustaining positive momentum above key moving averages, despite mixed signals from short-term technical indicators. He notes no fresh macro or fundamental catalysts shaping sentiment in the current session. The analyst highlights that oscillators point to a challenging path upward, but overall buyer resilience persists. Karapetjanc believes the 77% probability of a downward move warrants caution, while the sideways bias remains intact. "If support at $6.1058 holds, I see room for copper to stabilize and potentially attempt higher levels within the current range."

Earlier, analysts noted that copper faced ongoing downside risks due to sector volatility and policy-driven supply uncertainties. The current technical setup—with oscillators diverging against short-term bearish momentum—underscores the importance of monitoring the $6.1058 support level, as a decisive move below could quickly accelerate downside pressure within the latest volatility band.
