Copper Rebounds From 6-Year Low
IFC Markets | Sep 01, 2015 10:05AM ET
The industrial indicators are to be released in China
The copper quotations on the daily timeframe are struggling for growth after hitting a 6-year low on Monday. In our opinion, no particularly positive news has been announced yet. The market participants may reckon on the fact that the softer monetary policy by the People’s Bank of China will support economic and industrial growth in this country. Let us remind you that it has already reduced the rate four times this year. Tomorrow morning at 3:00 and 3:45 CET, several Manufacturing PMIs will be released. We admit the possibility of the further copper price growth subject to the positive statistics from China.
On the daily chart, the Copper:D1 has rebounded from the 6-year low breaking up the support line of the downward trend and the last upper fractal. The Bollinger Bands® have slightly contracted, which indicated the lower volatility. The RSI has formed the bullish divergence, leaving the “oversold” zone and exceeding the level of 50. MACD and Parabolic Indicators have formed the buy signal. We do not rule out the possibility of the bullish trend in case the copper breaks above 2.42, which is the second upper fractal and the Bollinger band. The preliminary risk fixation is possible below the 6-year low of 2.2, which is the lower fractal as well, the Bollinger band and the Parabolic signal. Having opened the delayed order, we recommend to move the stop to the next fractal minimum following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals every 4 hours. By doing this, we alter the possible profit/loss ratio in our favour. The most risk-averse investors may switch after cutting a deal to the 4-hour chart and fix their stop-loss, moving it in accordance with the trade dynamics. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the position, as the market is subject to the unforeseen endogenous changes.
Position Buy Buy stop above 2,42 Stop loss below 2,2
