Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - New 2016 Spot High Set On Tuesday




Natural gas prices rallied up to a new 2016 high in Tuesday’s trade as the spot July 16 contract topped out at a 2.786 morning high before closing the session at 2.768, up .021.

The trend remains up but could see sideways to lower trade near term following the recent run up.  The 10 day moving average at 2.640 coincides with a former daily high at 2.635 and is primary support.  The 10 day moving average held as support in last week’s trade resulting in the latest run back to a new high.

If 10 day moving average support is broken,  the near term trend will turn back down with following support at 2.530-2.550 followed by the 200 day average currently at 2.420.

A breakout above Tuesday’s 2.786 high will signal a resumption of the uptrend with 2.820-2.830 being the next upside resistance.

Bottom line – No change in bullish uptrend, for now.
