Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Bulls Hold The Fort For A Third Day




The July 15 natural gas contract found good buying interest at the lower-2.700 level for a third day on Wednesday gaining .033 to settle at 2.759.

The July contract is currently trading near the middle of the  past month’s trading range with support for today again coming in at the lower-2.700 level.  A drop under the 2.700 level would turn the 2.540-2.556 weekly lows into the next downside support.

The top of the gap area at 2.808 created on Monday’s open has now been completely closed with today’s daily high being 2.811.

The 2.800-2.830 area which includes the top of the gap as well as the 10 and 40 day moving averages is key resistance today.  A breakout above 2.830 would turn the near term trend back  up with following resistance at the upper trend line currently at 2.910-2.920.  A breakout above upper trend line resistance would be a very bullish technical signal for the market but is not expected.

Longer term,  there might be a bearish right triangle forming  on the July contract.  A breakout below 2.540-2.556 support is needed to trigger the  pattern.
