Copper Elliott Wave Technical Analysis
Since May 17th, 2024, Copper has lost nearly 15%, correcting the strong rally from October 2023. The correction from May 2024 seems to be deeper, aiming to complete at least a 3-swing chart structure. However, the long-term trend still indicates an upside, but buyers should proceed with caution. Before the decline continues, the commodity might experience a minor bounce, correcting the current sell-off from May 17th, 2024.
In the long term, Copper appears to be in a bullish corrective cycle - wave A-B-C of the grand supercycle degree. Wave B completed a triangle structure lasting 17 months, ending in April 2022. Since then, a bullish diagonal structure has formed for wave C of the supercycle degree. Hence, the long-term trend favors buyers, though sharp pullbacks are expected.
Copper Day Chart Analysis
On the daily chart, the diagonal completed its 3rd sub-wave, wave (III) of the supercycle degree, in May 2024. A decline for wave (IV) began and is currently ongoing. Wave (IV) is expected to complete a corrective structure - ABC or WXY. Wave a of (IV) is close to completion, indicating a possible resurgence for wave b of (IV). The H4 chart shows the extent of wave a of (IV) and its potential progression before concluding and allowing wave b to commence upwards.
Copper 4-Hour Chart Analysis
On the H4 chart, the sell-off from May 2024 is forming into an impulse wave for wave 5 (circled) of a. Currently, it is in the sub-waves (4) of a diagonal wave 5 (circled), expected to be the last leg. If the diagonal concludes as anticipated, sellers should be cautious of a corrective surge. However, buyers should not be overly optimistic as the rally will likely be corrective, leading to another round of sell-offs before wave (IV) ends and the price starts pushing upwards for wave (V) in the long term.
