Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - New Contract Low Set On Monday




The October 15 natural gas contract has been in an extended downtrend after topping out at a 2.794 high last Tuesday.

From last Tuesday’s high, the October contract has fallen by .244 or 8.7% down to Monday’s 2.550 low setting the day at 2.573.

Yesterday’s 2.550 low held above weekly low support at the same level which has brought in lightly buying in today’s early trade. 

Former daily low support at 2.602 is now the first area of resistance today followed by 2.632.  Longer term resistance is the 10 day moving average currently at 2.660.

2.540-2.550 is the first area of support followed by the current 2015 spot contract low of 2.443 set in early-May.  2.443 is also the initial downside objective for the bearish triangle pattern on the weekly chart.  If 2.443 support is broken, 2.230-2.250 will become the next longer term support.
