Copper 1-Year Chart

The chart for copper shows ambivalence as represented by the consolidation zone. Copper is a good proxy for the world economy: in particular China. One can extrapolate the chart activity for copper to the indecision about the growth prospects (GDP) for China.

Do you think copper can break $3.40?

Copper 1-year daily bar chart

Copper near-term uptrend and resistance zone

The major trend is down, the intermediate trend is sideways and the near-term trend is up. I am focusing on the near-term trend (last three weeks) in this analysis. The near-term trend is up and the resistance zone is identified on the above chart. A break above the resistance zone would indicate a target of $3.80. The price of copper is a good proxy for the growth in the world economy:in particular for China. A breakout above the resistance zone would bode well for the TSX Index which has a relatively large weighting in base metal stocks. A failure for copper to breakout above the resistance zone would indicate that the TSX Index will not breakout above the 13,500 resistance level.

Copper could test major support

Copper weekly chart showing the major downtrend, intermediate downtrend and the near-term downtrend

Copper is trading below the 200-day and 50-day moving averages. The major trend is down. The intermediate trend is down. The near-term trend is down. And copper could test the major support zone in the above weekly chart.

The TSX Index will not break resistance of 13,500 with the negative implications of this chart on the materials sector.

Copper candlestick chart analysis

Dr. Copper still has a negative prognosis for the world economy

Copper 3 Year Weekly Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com

Nothing has changed since I last analyzed copper on June 22, 2013. The major trend is down. The intermediate trend is down. And copper is trading below the 50 day and 200 day moving averages.

What implication does this have for the TSX Index?  The TSX index is currently in a near-term uptrend but there is no way it will break major resistance of 12,900 unless there is an upward movement in copper.
