Copper: Let It Lead Your Other Trades

 | Apr 02, 2014 11:26AM ET

It's called Dr. Copper for a reason and I've been telling clients for the last few weeks that as Copper finds support and starts to track back over the $3 level -- which I view as the line in the sand -- it will give me the confidence to start probing bullish trade.h3 Copper/h3

Let It Lead You

I view copper as a leading indicator and I use the movement to help guide me with other trades for clients. So the fist chart is copper...May futures are currently 15 cents off their recent lows and have gained ground 7 out of the last 11 sessions since establishing an interim low on 3/19. I see upside resistance at the Fibonacci levels as seen on the chart below followed by the down sloping trend line near $3.15 . So about another dime higher from current trade in the coming weeks.
