Is Now the Right Time To Buy This Copper Co.?

Source: Clive Maund 03/05/2025

Technical Analyst Clive Maund explains why it is now an excellent time to buy Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5).

We are looking at Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG; OTC:BFGFF; FWB:YW5) again here because it is right now completing a big Cup & Handle base pattern and on Friday it started moving up sharply on the growing realization of the positive implications of the tariff barriers for domestic U.S. copper companies like Giant Mining.

On its latest 10-month chart, we can see how the Cup & Handle base pattern is now complete, and what is especially significant is the highly bullish volume pattern, with the strong volume on the rally to complete the right side of the Cup being a characteristic of a genuine example of one of these patterns and there is a fundamental explanation for it. It is caused by the sudden realization amongst a body of investors that the company is “turning the corner” and going to make it.

But of course it takes time for the fundamentals to catch up with the rosier expectations, which is why the price then consolidates in a Handle trading range or reaction. Provided that the volume pattern remains positive as the Handle forms, which in this case it does, it means that it will go onto to break out of its upside into a new bull market and, late last week, a catalyst in the form of the growing awareness that the tariff barriers will make domestic producers of copper like Giant Mining, as it will be, more important.

The duration of the Cup & Handle base pattern has allowed time for the 200-day moving average to drop down close to the price and flatten out, putting the stock in a better position to advance and the current bunching of price and moving averages is most auspicious, and we can readily observe that another upleg from here will quickly result in a bullish cross of the moving averages that will “officially” mark the start of an important new bull market.

The longer-term 2-year chart makes it clear just what a bargain Giant Mining is here, for this base pattern has formed at a very low level following a severe bear market — as recently as early 2023 it was trading at over CA$4.00 and if you go back further you will find that it was trading as high as CA$140 early in 2021 (adjusted for a couple of big rollbacks).

This is, therefore, considered to be an excellent time to buy Giant Mining or add to positions in it.
