Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - A Bullish Turn Back Higher ?




The November 15 natural gas contract moved higher last week from the 2.403 contract and new 2015 spot low set the previous week.  Over the five days of trade, the November contract gained .051 (2.1%) closing Friday at  2.502.

The 10 day moving average at 2.495 today has been broken as resistance.  If the breakout holds, the near term trend will turn back up with 2.590-2.600 being the next upside resistance.  Longer term resistance is the 40 day moving average currently at 2.690.

The 10 day moving average is the first area of support today at 2.490 with longer term support at the 2.403 contract low.  If contract low support is  broken, 2.230-2.250 will become the next longer term support level.

The funds remain largely on the sidelines in the natural gas market.  Friday’s Commitment of Trader’s report showed the funds long 79,794 contracts as of last Tuesday’s close, up 662 from the previous week.
