Copper prices are falling sharply after detecting selling pressure near the crucial $3.625 barrier during the Asian session. The asset's pullback move after hitting a low of $3.5715 on Monday is losing momentum, and the end of the pullback move indicates a new leg of selling is imminent.

 

The basic metal is anticipated to continue under the control of bears in light of bearish market mood. The US dollar index (DXY) is poised for a fresh upward surge as investors have begun buying the DXY in response to Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell's hawkish remarks on interest rate guidance at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
