Sideways bias expected as breakout risks remain limited
Over the next 2–3 trading days, Copper futures are expected to move within a low volatility band ranging from $6.2444 to $6.3712. The baseline scenario anticipates sideways trading within this range, with a higher probability (69%) of an upward move and a lower probability (31%) of a downward break. Bullish momentum would require a sustained move above resistance near the upper band, while a failure to hold support could pressure the price toward the range low.
Earlier, analysts noted that copper futures faced a moderately cautious technical outlook, with price action constrained by soft momentum and resistance levels. The current setup shifts this narrative, as prices trade above key short-term moving averages with a higher probability of an upward move, making the $6.3712 resistance a critical level to monitor for a potential bullish breakout.
