Tuesday’s move in the price of high grade copper has taken it outside the Bollinger band. But with moving average convergence divergence (MACD) pointing lower, and the relative strength index (RSI) only flirting with being oversold, IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor suggests that a little bit of the air needs to come out of the short trade before we see a resumption of the recent drop. Something that would arrest the drop would be support at 28,225, however, that is some distance from current price action at 29,000.
