Natural Gas Technical Update - Bullish Inside Range Day Posted On Wednesday


Natural gas prices moved back higher on Wednesday as the spot January 15 contract rallied off weekly low support to close the day up 2.3%.

The January contract also posted a potentially bullish inside range reversal day which has been confirmed with higher trade in today’s early session.

Another bullish indicator for the market was the winter 15/summer 15 spread which gained nearly 40% in yesterday’s trade. 

Outside of a spike higher on Monday to a 3.936 high which did not hold, the January contract for the most part has been trading in a sideways range over the past 2 weeks alternating between 3.541-3.585 weekly low support and resistance at the 3.800-3.820 level.

A breakout above 3.820 today would be another bullish signal for the market but a breakout above resistance at the lower-4.000 level is needed to turn the longer term market trend back up.

A drop under 3.541-3.585 weekly low support would keep the primary market trend bearish with following support at late-2013 weekly lows at 3.380-3.400.

Technical Indicators:  Moving Average Alignment – Bearish
