The main thing I would watch here is whether the market keeps respecting the level that traders are already focused on.
For Copper, the context is growth expectations and commodity demand. The key idea around range compression is that tight ranges often build energy for a larger move. That means I would not build a trade only from the direction of the last candle.
My first scenario would be confirmation: price holds the important area, volume stays supportive, and the next pullback does not fully erase the previous move. In that case, mark both sides of the range and avoid forcing trades in the middle.
The opposite scenario is just as important. If price rejects the level, closes back into the old range, or moves too far without offering a clean stop, the setup becomes lower quality. For me the cleanest version is a slower retest with volume improving in the direction of the idea.
This is not about being bullish or bearish by default. It is about having a plan for both continuation and failure before the market forces a decision.
