I've figured it out....re: what's holding the copper market up: FXI. Look at that proxy for Chinese economic growth. It's been very strong recently.Quote from Specterx:
I'm stalking it for a short. Copper has been triangulating for about 15 months, quite a large consolidation, and right now is attempting a breakout. If that breakout fails you can get short with very small risk and expect to get the 2010 lows (at least) in 3-6 months - risking 10-20 cents at most to get 90, say. Excellent trade potential if you ask me but I need to see the price turn first.
don't forget, those chinese contracts are itty bittyQuote from syswizard:

This is a "gentlemen, place your bets" situation.
Could break either way.
