Despite the fact there is rather serious and important wave count targets just over head, we cannot
get overly bearish this market until it displays some weakness that would give us confirmation of a
“peak.” First level weekly support comes in at 1219.50. I will be putting in “sell-stops” just below
1219 to initiate new shorts on weakness.
There’s an old saying in technical circles: “Triple tops and bottoms never hold.” Until the
last 18 months, I was a big believer in this concept. However, we’ve recently seen several
instances of triple and quadruple tops/bottoms “holding” as resistance or support. So, we shall
see what becomes of Copper here. The $4.00 zone has been extremely major resistance this
decade--a solid break of this resistance would look very bullish. One of the things that’s readily
obvious about this chart is that Copper is extremely volatile--these are massive percentage
swings. This is a small market that is vulnerable to severe price/supply dislocations. In other
words, Copper is a commodity in which it’s better to view from the sidelines than participate.
Look how violently Copper stocks can swing around. Needless to say, the steady fall in stocks is the

The DXY continues to be a “mixed bag” here. The move off the lows from early November
wasn’t “impulsive,” which is not great news for bulls. The call for the next few weeks is
sideways/lower price action. In the very short term, there does appear to be a small triangle
forming which looks bullish for the beginning of the week; however, the 81.02 resistance should
hold. Notice how the market has struggled into our first level of resistance and 80.31
(highlighted last week).
