Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Market Reaches A 5-Week Low




The natural gas market was heavily sold for a second consecutive day on Tuesday as the  spot March 16 contract revisits the 2.000 level for the first time since December 21st.

The March contract bottomed out at a 1.976 low on Tuesday bouncing back over the 2.000 level by the close to settle at 2.025, down .127 (5.9%).

The trend is now bearish with Tuesday’s 1.976 low being the first area of support for the March contract followed by the mid-December 1.910 contract low.  Longer term support from the weekly chart is at 1.780-1.790 and the 1.684 spot contract low also set in December.

Former support at 2.080 now becomes the first area of resistance with longer term resistance at the 10 day moving average currently at 2.140 followed by the 40 day average at 2.175.

Bottom Line – Retest of contract low support expected in upcoming trade.
