Copper Charts

Copper is one of the most important tradable base metals. The price of copper topped at the second quarter of 2006 after going extremely parabolic and registering an all time high. I have warned about that extreme situation at least two times.

One of the most important indicators for the price of copper is the LME stocks levels which seems to bottom and are up more then 100% since mid 2006.

Currently Copper is oversold and I would like to suggest 220 and 190 as important price levels, on the 50 years chart the 145 seems to be the most important price level.

WTI Charts

Dear readers,

Last year I posted several times about 81$ being a price target for profits taking.

WTI Crude oil contracts topped at July 2006 and broke below the five years uptrend line. Crude bottomed at January 2007 and currently we are witnessing some upside but the downtrend channel is still intact. It is still early to determine if the January bottom is significant or not , using the long term chart as guidance I estimate that a down spike to about 40$ is possible. The 62.5$ - 66$ seems like significant resistance for the March contract. As I see the situation traders should be cautious and quick to take profits.
