Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Bulls Retake Control On Wednesday


The August 15 natural gas contract rallied back higher on Wednesday from lower-2.800 support reached on Tuesday closing higher for a third time out of the past four sessions.

The August contract finished Wednesday’s session at 2.918, up .078 or 2.7% but could not breakout above 2.934 weekly high resistance.

The near term trend remains up with 2.934 being the first area of resistance followed by 2.970-2.980.  Longer term resistance is the 200 day moving average currently at 3.115.

2.800-2.820 remains primary support and includes a trend line as well  as the 10 and 40 day moving averages.  A drop back under 2.800-2.810 will  turn the near term back down with last week’s 2.644 low being the next area of support followed by 2.569-2.588 weekly lows.  A drop under weekly low support would be a very bearish technical indicator for the market.

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