A bull cycle in Copper futures remains in play. This week’s strong gains reinforce a bullish theme and confirm a resumption of the uptrend. The move higher has resulted in a breach of the $500.00 handle. The contract is approaching a major resistance at $519.90, the May 20 ‘24 high on the continuation chart. A break of it would reinforce bullish conditions and open  $525.21, a Fibonacci projection. Support to watch is $481.85, 20-day EMA.
