Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Rally Back Higher From Key Support On Wednesday




Natural gas prices reversed course back higher on Wednesday as the June 16 contract rallied off lower-2.000 support reached earlier in the week to close the day at 2.141, up .055 (2.6%).

The primary trend remains sideways to higher with the 10 day moving average at 2.145 today holding as intraday resistance on Wednesday.  A breakout above the 10 day average would keep the near term trend bullish turning 2.220-2.240 followed by the 2.304 high set two weeks ago into the next upside resistance areas.

The lower-2.000 area remains key support with this week’s low coming  in at the 2.026 level.  A drop under this week’s low would turn the near term trend back down with following support at 1.940-1.970 and the 1.844 contract low set in March.

Bottom line – No change in the 8 week sideways to higher uptrend.

Technical Indicators:  Moving Average Alignment – Neutral
                                         Long Term Trend Following Index – Bullish
                                         Short Term Trend Following Index - Bullish
