Copper futures tend to exhibit a strong bullish trend throughout the year, starting with steady gains in January and February, accelerating into March. The bullish momentum continues through April, reaching a peak around April 27 at +7.4%.

2) Buy-the-dip points:
While the overall trend is bullish, potential buying opportunities arise during periods of consolidation or minor pullbacks. One such period appears in early April, specifically around April 4, where the average gain dips to +3.1%. Another potential dip occurs in early August, bottoming out around August 7 at +1.3%, before the price begins to recover.

The seasonality data suggests a bullish bias for copper futures, particularly from late summer through the end of the year. A strategic approach would involve considering long positions during the dips in early April and early August. Given the significant gains observed in December, especially around December 27, traders might consider holding positions through the end of the year to capitalize on this seasonal strength.
