Near-term: TWO-SIDED
conviction 2% · 663 up vs 955 down scenarios
Copper is two-sided near-term — finely balanced. Of the 1,618 mapped scenarios that move Copper, 663 push it up and 955 push it down, and weighting each by its probability, size and how soon it bites, the book skews neither way. The single biggest swing factor is Verified room-temperature superconductor (event odds not yet verified; ~12.0% estimated impact on Copper if it occurs). Regime backdrop: The week the hike came back.
Probabilistic, scenario-weighted read from the library + the current regime. A lean is a tilt in the odds, not a promise. Informational, not investment advice.
Near-term read — probability, range, evidence
Copper slightly higher over the next 7 days: 55.0% chance of a higher close after combining history, scenarios and current evidence.
The forecast swing band is -2.7% to +3.0% over 7 days. This is the model's comparable-history zone, not a price target. The band is fairly balanced, so the read is more about direction than payoff skew.
The history anchor uses 1,008 comparable 7-day windows; the base rate was 54.8% higher before today’s factors were applied. Status: live tracking started; not enough resolved calls yet.
Today’s tilt came mainly from history, scenarios, macro regime and current evidence. Each forecast is saved and later scored, so this number will earn calibration over time instead of pretending certainty today.
