Copper prices have been in a downward trend since peaking in May 2024. Since May 21st, 2024, the metal has lost nearly 25% of its value, correcting the strong rally that began in October 2023. This correction appears to be forming a three-wave structure, indicating that there may be further downside before the long-term uptrend resumes.
Copper daily chart analysis
On the daily chart, copper is likely undergoing a three-wave decline from the May 2024 high, labeled as waves a-b-c of the cycle degree, which is expected to complete wave (IV) of the supercycle degree. Waves a and b of the cycle degree have already been completed, and the price is currently correcting upwards for wave b. Within this wave b, the first sub-wave has finished, and the price is now falling in wave c of (IV). As wave c nears completion, approaching the lows seen in February 2024, a new rally could commence for wave (V), continuing the long-term bullish trend that began in March 2020, likely evolving into a diagonal structure.
