Frequently Asked Questions about Copper
Click to expandHow is the current drawdown of Copper calculated?
For Copper, drawdown measures the percentage decline from its all-time high closing peak of $6.74 /lb (reached on Sep 10, 2026) to its latest daily close of $6.69 /lb:
(($6.69 /lb - $6.74 /lb) / $6.74 /lb) × 100 = -0.74%
Calculations use official daily settled closes to filter out intraday wick noise. The drawdown only resets to 0.00% when a new settled close surpasses $6.74 /lb.
At what prices does Copper enter a dip, pullback, correction, or bear market?
Measuring from Copper's all-time high closing price of $6.74 /lb:
• -5% Dip: Triggers at $6.40 /lb
• -10% Pullback: Triggers at $6.07 /lb
• -20% Correction: Triggers at $5.39 /lb
• -20% Bear Market: Triggers at $5.39 /lb
At its latest close of $6.69 /lb (-0.74%), Copper is currently in Minor Dip territory (Mild spot price fluctuation within normal trading ranges (< 5% dip).).
How much does Copper need to rise to reach a new all-time high?
From its current drawdown of -0.74%, Copper must gain +0.7% from its current price of $6.69 /lb to break even back at its all-time high of $6.74 /lb.
Because losses compound on a reduced capital base, the recovery gain required always exceeds the drawdown percentage. For example, on a hypothetical $1,000 capital base at today's price, returning to prior all-time highs equals $1,007.47 (a +$7.47 recovery increase).
