Yeah I tend to wonder with the metals if this is a final slam down before a meaningful leg higher. Perhaps not, and the push down recently is so the starting point is lower when shit hits the fan, possibly soon, and the price ceilings of $17 and $17.35-ish can be more easily protected. Stupid to bet on these things as they can just sell a lot of contracts and take the price wherever they would like it to go, but I find watching metals to be helpful when trying to identify inflection points in equities.
