A Long-term Buy Signal Emerges Let’s look at the iPath Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return ETN ($DJP). This is a collection of physical commodity stocks that is getting significantly more popular with the growing interest in exchange-traded products. The

$DJP ETN contains unleveraged investments in terms of copper, gold, silver, WTI crude oil, corn, soybeans, aluminum, etc. Now let’s look at the chart by StockCharts.com displayed in Investopedia.

As is clearly evident, the price action that occurred recently has caused a bullish situation. The stock has risen higher than the neckline of a pattern that can be described as inverse-head-andshoulders. This is in alignment with the golden cross, which is the 50-day and 200-day moving averages crossover. That presents a long-term buy signal, which is a technical indicator of a long-term commodities uptrend. It’s still early days though. www.tradezero.co

Analysts Believe This to Be the Right Time for Gold Let’s examine gold now.

As can be seen from the chart above depicting the SPDR Gold Shares ($GLD), gold has gone through a recent retracement and that’s really attracting active traders all over the world. The price has therefore soared to the 200-day moving average’s long-term support. This support could perform like a strong floor. It could be used to determine when to place buy and stop orders. Gold buyers find the risk-reward setup attractive which indicates this to be the right time to buy if gold shifts higher in 2018.

Copper Could Keep Soaring Moving to copper, it has been among those commodities that has performed really strongly following President Donald Trump’s election.

The chart above, describing the iPath Bloomberg Copper Subindex Total Return ETN ($JJC), tells you that there has been a massive focus on infrastructure spending which has caused a really strong uptrend. Most traders will be expecting this metal to keep soaring. Stop-losses could be set below the level of the recent breakout, or the 50-day or 200-day moving average, based on risk tolerance.
