$HBM — 6-Month Base VCP, Copper Macro TailwindHudbay Minerals IncBATS:HBMvssebuyungoThe Setup: Hudbay Minerals (HBM) is the higher-quality copper miner in this pair. It's in the middle of a big 6-month base forming a VCP — coils like this normally lead to explosive moves — a consolidation after an 8-month run that itself broke out of a 13-month base. On the daily it had a false breakout to all-time highs and came back to test previous lows, so this is not one to buy outright: it's still inside the base, so build slowly. The macro tailwind is copper's 5-year base breakout, now leading the metals frenzy. Reasoning: 6-Month Base Forming a VCP (Coiling toward an explosive move) Stacked Structure (8-month run out of a prior 13-month base) False Breakout Retest (Still inside the base — build slowly) Copper Macro Tailwind (5-year breakout leading the metals complex) Strong Fundamentals (Higher-quality diversified miner)
