Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Bearish Triangle On The Weekly Chart Triggered




The September 15 natural gas contract has broken out to the downside from a sideways triangle pattern on the weekly chart today with a drop under 2.720-2.740 support.

If the breakout holds over the next few days, trade down to new contract lows is expected.

In yesterday’s session, the September contract lost over 2.6% or .073 settling back toward key support at the 2.728 daily close.

Support has been broken overnight turning 2.650-2.660 and 2.590-2.600 into the next downside support levels.  If 2.590-2.600 weekly low support is broken, 2.440-2.450 and 2.230-2.250 will become the next longer term support levels.

Former support between 2.720-2.740 now becomes the first area of resistance followed by the 10 and 40 day moving averages currently between 2.805-2.810.
