Copper has broken decisively above the $4.50 per pound resistance level that capped the metal for six consecutive weeks, triggering buy signals across multiple Signalix algorithmic models. The breakout session recorded volume 34% above the 20-day average — a strong confirmation signal in technical analysis methodology. The fundamental backdrop supports the technical move: mine supply disruptions at Codelco operations in Chile and First Quantum in Panama have reduced available concentrate, while demand from electric vehicle manufacturing and renewable energy infrastructure continues to accelerate. LME copper inventory has fallen 18% over the past month, tightening the physical market. Signalix target: $5.10 per pound over the next 60 days. Risk management stop: $4.30. Position sizing recommendation: 2-3% of portfolio for speculative accounts, 1% for conservative allocation.
