Long positioning rises as supply deficit fuels bullish sentiment

A confirmed copper market deficit is drawing support for long positions, according to Investing.com citing UBS. This supply shortfall encourages participants to enter or maintain bullish trades as the imbalance tips favorably towards buyers. Such underlying conditions directly support current upward price momentum in copper.

Multi-timeframe support as MACD buy signal meets neutral momentum

Technical analysis identifies $6.375 as immediate support on the Ichimoku Kijun daily level. Hourly trading remains above the MA-20 and MA-50, while the daily price is also above the MA-200, confirming support across timeframes. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates strong buy momentum, whereas the Average Directional Index (ADX) reads neutral, pointing to uncertain trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at a neutral 50 and is categorized as 'Buy'; both Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are neutral, suggesting an absence of overbought or oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power signals current selling pressure in intraday trading, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, leaving short-term momentum without further confirmation.

Sideways consolidation favored while breakout risks persist

The expected trading range for copper in the next few sessions is $6.3322 to $6.4424. There is a 67% probability of an upward move, with a 33% chance of a downside scenario. If copper breaks above $6.4424, a bullish extension could unfold, while a decline below $6.3322 would open a path toward further support. The baseline forecast sees consolidation sideways within the recent volatility band.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, notes that copper continues to find support from persistent supply deficits highlighted by UBS. He believes fundamental drivers remain strong as major market participants favor long positions, with technicals confirming a constructive structure. Overall, the analyst sees a clear case for optimism as price stability aligns with positive macro trends. "With key moving averages supporting price and institutional sentiment turning bullish, I see copper well-positioned for further gains if supply remains tight."

Earlier, analysts noted that copper maintained a positive technical bias, supported by resilient price action and ongoing buyer strength. The latest confirmation of a market deficit and continued support above key moving averages now strengthens the bullish outlook, with traders advised to monitor for a decisive breakout to signal the next directional move.
