Copper : Update

  • Recent bear squeeze in HG up to 312.45 (lead contract) took out half my short position in HGN4 (on 16Apr).
  • Sufficient time elapsed and noise subsided since. Revisit.
  • Monthly : Downside break of massive SHS top remains valid.
  • Weekly : Downtrend intact.
  • Daily : The recent rally looks like a bear flag.
  • Trade : Holding on to 1RU short (poor entry). Awaiting daily bear flag break confirmation to re-establish 1 more RU short.
  • Copper bears will perhaps be encouraged that this week's scaling back of Fed tightening expectations (weak +0.1% 1Q US GDP, no FOMC surprises) has not resulted in another round of short squeeze.

Cut marginal unit at +307.30. It's just not working.
