Natural Gas Technical Update - Market Trending Down Toward Key Area of Support


After rallying up and holding below a key area of resistance on Tuesday, the March 15 natural gas contract trended back lower in yesterday’s trade losing .092 (3.3%) to settle at 2.662.

The trend for the market remains down with the 2.575 August 2012 weekly low extending up to the 2.608 March contract low being primary support.  If 2.575-2.608 support is broken, there is little underlying support on the weekly chart until the 2.170-2.230 area.

Former daily low support between 2.750-2.800 remains key resistance with this week’s rally topping out at a 2.783 high.  A breakout above 2.750-2.800 would be a bullish signal turning the near term trend back up with following resistance at 2.980-3.020.
