Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Key Test For The Bulls Today


Today will be another important test of underlying strength in the natural  gas market following yesterday’s late day sell off.

The July 15 contract rallied up to a 2.955 early morning high on Wednesday but sold off late into the session’s close settling at 2.855, down .039.

The market is weaker today as the July contract tests 10 and 40 day moving average support between 2.805-2.815.  The next level of support under the moving averages is the 2.764 low set on the weekly open.  A drop under this support would negate the bullish weekly bar and likely indicate the bearish downtrend has  resumed.

If support can hold, the lower-2.900 level will again become primary resistance with a breakout above yesterday’s 2.955 high needed to keep the near term trend  bullish.

Volatility could increase markedly this morning following release of the EIA weekly storage report at 9:30 am central.

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