Today Technical Analysis: Copper Rises 1% in Early Trading, Nearing Its All-Time High

Copper Technical Analysis

Copper continues to display a strong bullish structure, trading around $6.72 after steadily climbing from the recent low near 6.36.

The moving averages MA(5), MA(10) and MA(20) remain bullishly aligned. Price remains comfortably above all three averages, while the MA20 continues to slope upward. This confirms that buyers remain in control despite the small pullback from the recent high.

The main resistance is around $6.73, followed by the psychological $6.75 level. A decisive break above $6.73 could extend the rally toward $6.80. On the downside, $6.66 is the first support, followed by $6.62. A deeper correction could target $6.53. Overall, the bias remains bullish above $6.62, with the current pullback looking more like consolidation than a confirmed reversal.

Gold Technical Analysis

Gold remains in a broadly bullish structure, but the short-term momentum has weakened significantly after the market failed to hold above the $4,696 high. Price is currently around $4,639, moving sideways around the $4,650 region after several attempts to regain upside momentum.

The moving averages MA(5), MA(10), and MA(20) are tightly clustered. This alignment reflects the current consolidation.

The immediate resistance is $4,670–$4,697, with a break above $4,697 potentially opening the way toward $4,715. On the downside, $4,630 is the first support, followed by $4,599 and the stronger $4,550 area. Overall, the bias is neutral-to-bullish, but gold needs to break back above $4,670 and eventually $4,697 to regain strong bullish momentum. A sustained break below $4,599 would signal a deeper correction.

Nasdaq 100 Technical Analysis

Nasdaq 100 is showing a sideways-to-bearish structure after failing to sustain the recovery from the recent low of 28,891. Price is currently around 29,184, with the latest rebound struggling near the 29,180–29,250 area. The market remains below the recent high of 29,474, keeping the short-term structure cautious.

The moving averages are mixed. Price has moved back above the shorter-term averages, but remains below the MA20.

The key resistance is around 29,212–29,250, followed by 29,355 and then 29,474. On the downside, 29,100–29,050 is the first important support zone, while a break below 28,891 would reinforce the bearish structure. Overall, the bias is neutral-to-bearish below 29,350, with a sustained break above that level needed to improve the outlook.
