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




The December 15 natural gas contract traded down to a 2.234 low on Thursday holding above the 2.188 contract low as support.  The inability for the contract to push down to a new low could be the beginning of a short and possibly long term reversal back higher.

After settling yesterday’s session at 2.260, the December contract has since moved back toward 10 day moving average resistance at 2.295 in today’s early trade.

Key resistance to watch is at the 2.390-2.400 level, the area where last week’s rally attempt failed.  A breakout above 2.390-2.400 resistance would turn the market trend back higher with the 40 day average currently at 2.555 being the next longer term resistance.

Thursday’s 2.234 low is the first area of support followed by the  2.188 contract low.  If contract low support is broken, the bottom of an open gap on the daily continuation chart between 2.105-2.115.  Longer term support is the 2015 spot contract low at 1.948.
