Near Term Trend: Bullish
As of 10/20/17 close: 3.17
UPDATE: Last week, I suggested shorting copper at 3.15 with stops on a close above 3.17 and with a target of 2.51.
Copper broke out this week hence the mid-week update you received. No longer safe to be short. However, copper may pull back to 3.04 3.06 before staging the next thrust higher towards 3.82.
I would cover all shorts and get long at 3.05 with stops below 3.03 and with a target of 3.82.
