Looking at the daily chart, we notice on Friday Copper opened with a breakaway gap and fell sharply, printing its lowest levels in near 26 months. Yesterday, the metal continued losing value and moved to the lower trading zone 5,463 – 5,726.

On the other hand, a close below 5,617 could press the price toward the low end of current trading zone. However, the weekly support level underscored on the chart should be monitored.
