Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Short Covering Rally May Be Over




The October 15 natural gas contract rallied up to a new 1-month high in yesterday’s trade at 2.794.  However, late day selling dropped the contract back down to a 2.728 daily close losing .030 for the session.

Tuesday’s rally held under 40 day moving average resistance which keeps the primary trend sideways to lower.  The October contract did close above former resistance on Tuesday between 2.725-2.735 which needs to be broken as support in order to turn the near term trend back down.

If 2.725-2.735 support is broken, the 10 day moving average at 2.690 will become the next downside support.  Longer term support is the 2.633 contract low set two weeks ago.  If this low is broken as support, 2.550-2.560 and 2.440-2.450 will become the next downside price objectives.

Tuesday’s 2.794 high is the first area of resistance today with longer term resistance at the 200 day moving average currently at 2.930. 

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