ridethepig | Base Metals StrategyThe linkage between base metals and the rate differentials is unknown to many in the pseudo-classical school of TA, which believe only in absolute correlation; as you all know the supply disruptions and pandemic related closures triggered the waterfall but we are not out of the woods yet...Remember we still have the demand side shock to play into price too, this will allow us to complete a 'wave 2' pullback with an ABC correction.
The revisions down in mining supplies was enough to spark an interest in buyers, and now that most believe we have seen the worst from the demand side it is allowing Copper to form a MT and LT base formation. Those tracking the mining projects in Brazil will know the announcements for a restart in operations have already started. This is going to keep Copper and Steel in particular in strong bid.
📍 On the positioning side, after the healthy (in a technical sense) neutralisation of the entire commodity board we have cleared both sides of the extremes and positioning is currently neutral. The majority must not be allowed on this train, or else the threat of an over-crowded wedge would be disastrous. Take for example what happened against Oil, the boat was fully loaded and we got the historic shakeout:
Eyeballing a test of 2.3 as the value area to re-engage with bullish exposure. We can then bring about the transfer from the wave 2 retrace into an impulsive wave 3. This will be excellent training for those wanting to dig deeper into wave theory and understand the complicated motifs.
As usual, thanks for keeping the support coming with likes, comments, charts and etc!
