Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Rally Failure On Monday




The new front month November 15 natural gas contract started out Monday’s session on the upside gaining over 3% in early trade.  But has been the case for the several months, the rally failed to hold as the market sold back off the morning highs into the session’s close.

For the day, the November contract was up .039 but bearishly settled at 2.670, near the daily low.

Daily close back under the 10 day moving average on Monday keeps the near term trend down with last week’s 2.591 low being the first area of support.  Longer term support is the 2.521 low set by the now expired October 15 contract followed by the 2015 spot low of 2.443 set in early-May.  The 2.443 weekly low remains the downside measuring objective for the bearish triangle  on the weekly chart.

The 10 day moving average at 2.670 is the first area of resistance today followed by Monday’s  2.720 high.  Longer term resistance is the 40 day moving average currently at 2.790.
