Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Is A Tradable Low In Place?




An 8%+ rally higher on Monday by the January 16 natural gas contract was followed by a small pull back in yesterday’s session with the contract losing .023 to settle at 1.888.

The market held up well on Tuesday given the sharp upward gains made on Monday possibly indicating a near term and possibly long term low has been set.

Monday’s 1.948 high extending up to 1.959 (top of open gap) is the first area of resistance followed by 1.990-2.010.  A breakout above lower-2.000 resistance is needed to turn the near term trend back up.

The 10 day moving average at 1.880 is the first area of support today followed by 1.750-1.760.  Longer term support is the 1.684 contract low set on Monday.  If contract low support is broken, 1.610 will become the next downside support.

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