Technical selling intensifies as support breaks amid strong US dollar

On November 12, Copper broke below key support levels across several time frames, which triggered technical selling and amplified downside momentum in the market, according to Investorideas. This development was accompanied by a firmer US dollar and rising US Treasury yields, as reported by FXStreet, conditions that typically increase the opportunity cost of holding commodities like copper and add external pressure on prices. While these factors shaped market sentiment, the daily movement in Copper has so far remained moderate.

Broad technical weakness confirmed as indicators flag oversold risk

HG trades below its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, highlighting persistent weakness across all key timeframes. The Ichimoku Kijun line at $6.1917 has become the nearest resistance. MACD and ADX readings point to ongoing downside momentum, further confirmed by a negative Bull/Bear Power and a bearish signal from the Awesome Oscillator. RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI all indicate oversold conditions, raising the potential for a near-term rebound or temporary selling exhaustion.

Sideways consolidation favored as range-bound volatility persists

Over the next 2–3 sessions, Copper is expected to move within a volatility band of $6.08 to $6.193. The baseline scenario calls for sideways consolidation in this range. Should resistance at $6.1917 be overcome, buying interest may emerge; conversely, a drop below $6.08 could accelerate intraday selling.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, notes that Copper remains under pressure after breaking multiple support levels. He sees technical indicators and macro drivers both skewed to the downside, with only limited prospects for a quick recovery. The risk of further weakness persists as long as prices stay below the key averages. "The base case is consolidation between $6.08 and $6.193 — unless $6.1917 is reclaimed, I remain cautious on Copper in the near term."

Earlier, analysts noted that copper remained under sustained bearish pressure due to a combination of weak demand and unfavorable macroeconomic factors. The current technical setup continues to support a cautious outlook, with traders advised to monitor the $6.08 downside threshold as a potential trigger for accelerated selling.
