Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Natural Gas Showing Bullish Signals




The natural gas continues to show bullish signals the latest being the overnight breakout above 10 and 40 day moving average resistance.

The September 15 contract has now closed higher two consecutive days after setting a new 2 ½ week price low last Friday.  After closing Tuesday’s session at 2.812, up .064 (2.3%), the September contract has moved higher into today’s early trade breaking out above 10 and  40 day moving average resistance between 2.820-2.825.

The next upside resistance now becomes last week’s 2.895 high  followed by the mid-July 2.957 high.

Longer term, a breakout from the 3 month sideways trend is needed to determine the next move for the market.  Odds favor a downside breakout under 2.600-2.700 support rather than  a rally above 2.950-3.050 resistance.

A drop back under the lower-2.800 level would turn the near term trend back down with 2.700-2.710 becoming the next downside support.
