Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - No Change In Bearish Downtrend




Early morning weakness on Tuesday led to late day buying in the January 16 natural gas contract which fell to a 2.193 low but finished the day at 2.231,  down 4 ticks.

The trend for the market remains down with last Friday’s 2.175 contract low being the first area of support followed by 2.051, a low set by the December 15 contract.  Longer term support is the 1.948 monthly low set the last week of October.

2.250-2.260 is the first area of resistance today followed by the 10 day moving average at 2.305.  Longer term resistance is at 2.360-2.370 and the 40 day moving average currently at 2.550.

A potentially bullish inside range reversal bar was set on the monthly chart in November.  A higher monthly close in December is now needed to confirm the reversal.
