High Risk, High Reward: Shorting ATH in a Bullish Copper Market.Copper just broke above its all-time high, triggering my short entry at 5.3010. While the macro trend is undeniably bullish, past price action has shown that each major high was followed by aggressive selloffs. This might not be the case this time – but that’s exactly why we have a stop-loss in place.
This is a tactical counter-trade: not about fighting the trend but playing a potential rejection from a psychological and technical key zone. Let’s see if history rhymes or the red metal keeps melting resistance!
Technicals:
• Daily timeframe breakout above ATH triggered the short at 5.3010.
• Strong vertical rally into major supply – parabolic move often cools down.
• Previous ATH levels have consistently attracted heavy selling.
• If price invalidates with a continuation above 5.61, the setup is out.
• Volatility around this zone is expected – precision and SL management are key.
Fundamentals:
1. Trump’s Proposed Copper Tariffs:
• Tariffs of up to 25% could disrupt global trade flow and introduce price instability.
• Market already priced in a bullish narrative, so any delay or uncertainty could spark a correction.
2. Panama’s Cobre Mine Shutdown:
• The mine accounts for 1% of global supply, and uncertainty around reopening may already be priced in.
• The government is holding off public visits, which adds operational risk but no clear bullish resolution yet.
3. China Smelter Closures:
• While bullish in nature, these are known factors – any shift or reversal from China could cool the demand-side speculation.
4. Overbought Sentiment:
• Prices surged rapidly, creating a gap between LME and NY copper prices, reaching record spreads.
• Speculative exhaustion could trigger a short-term pullback or deeper correction.
Risk-Managed Play. Let’s see if this time is different – or just the same old Copper story in a new macro wrapper.
Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.
