Support Zone Context

Below the current level, COMEX copper has structural support where demand has historically stepped in. The reliability of these zones depends on the volume profile and the number of prior interactions.

Ceilings & Supply Zones

Above current price, copper futures faces resistance zones where selling pressure has historically intensified. These levels represent previous supply zones, profit-taking areas, or structural barriers that price needs to overcome for continuation.

How firmly these zones hold depends on the confluence of volume, prior reactions, and the current market regime.

Where Disciplines Converge

For COMEX copper, the levels that matter most are those confirmed by independent analytical approaches. When six different disciplines identify the same zone, the signal-to-noise ratio improves dramatically.
