Shanghai copper still targets 46,620 yuan

24 Oct, 2014

SINGAPORE: Shanghai copper third-month is expected to drop to 46,620 yuan per tonne, as it failed to break a resistance at 47,320 yuan.

The resistance is provided by the 114.6 percent Fibonacci projection level of a downward wave c that has presumably started at the Aug. 25 high of 50,750 yuan. A rebound triggered by the support at 46,620 yuan, the 138.2 percent level, could be ending around the resistance.

The wave c may soon resume towards 45,910 yuan, its 161.8 percent projection level. A break above 47,320 yuan will open the way towards 47,760 yuan, the 100 percent level.
