COPPER (MARCH)
————-
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range

With today’s Chart Analysis Score of -55, the market is in a trading range.  Resistance comes into copper at $3.50 with support at $3.40.   As stated before, copper generally reflects economic conditions, and as such is influenced by equity prices.  With equity prices moving lower today, it is in return reflected in lower copper prices.  The major trend based on our monthly Trade Triangle continues to be negative. Long-term traders should continue to hold short positions in copper with appropriate money management stops.  Intermediate term traders should now be on the sidelines.

CRUDE OIL (JANUARY)
————-
BIG PICTURE: Trading Range

Look for the $100.00 area basis the January contract to offer stiff resistance for any rallies in this market. We would not be surprised to see this market move down to the lower band of its Donchian Trading Channel, around the $95 level. With two of our Trade Triangles green, giving us a +65 Chart Analysis Score, it still appears as though the under lying elements of this market remain bullish. Long-term, and intermediate term traders should be long this market with appropriate money management stops.

————-
BIG PICTURE: Strong Bearish Trend

This market is in a deflationary mode and looks ready to challenge the lows seen on October 4th at $292.39. Based on our Trade Triangle technology, this index is in a strong bearish trend. Support should be seen at the $295 – $300 area for the balance of this week.  With all three of our Trade Triangle indicators red we remain firmly in the bearish camp for this market.  Our long, intermediate and now short-term Trade Triangles remain negative for this index. Long-term and intermediate term traders should continue to hold short positions in silver with appropriate money management stops.
