Natural Gas Technical Update - Key Resistance Level Broken Overnight


The near term trend for the natural gas market has turned back higher following an overnight breakout above 2.750-2.800 resistance by the March 15 contract.

2.750-2.800 was former daily low support throughout month of January.  If the March 15 contract can hold above this level over the next few days of trade, a near term and possibly long term low could be set in the market. 

The next longer term resistance now becomes 2.980-3.020.

A drop back under 2.750-2.800 would turn the 10 day moving average at 2.680 into the  next downside support.

The March contract pushed down to a 2.567 low last week but was unable to close under weekly low support from August 2012 at 2.575.  A drop under both lows is needed to keep the primary market  trend bearish.

Technical Indicators:  Moving Average Alignment – Neutral-Bearish
                                         Long Term Trend Following Index – Bearish
                                         Short Term Trend Following Index – Bullish (turned higher yesterday)
