Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - A Temporary Setback




A five day rally by the November 15 natural gas contract came to an end on Tuesday, at least temporarily, as the contract was well sold.

After topping out at a  2.559 morning high, the November contract sold back down to a 2.498 close losing .037 (1.4%) on the day. 

Trade should remain choppy and volatile as the November contract will likely retest the 2.403 contract low set two weeks ago as support in upcoming trade.

Near term, another rally back higher is expected given recent strength in the market.  Yesterday’s 2.559 weekly high is the first area of resistance followed by 2.590-2.600.  Longer term resistance is the 40 day moving average currently at 2.670.

The 2.472 overnight low is the first area of support followed by 2.440-2.450 and the 2.403 contract low.  If contract low support is broken, 2.230-2.250 will become the next longer term support level.

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