Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Still Crashing To New Lows




The proverbial rug has been pulled out from under the natural gas market which has fallen to a new 14-year low in today’s early trade.

The front month January 16 contract gapped lower on Monday’s open trading under 1.948 weekly low support posted in late-October.  For the day, the January contract lost  .096 (4.8%) to settle the session at 1.894.

The trend remains down with the 1.833 overnight low being the first  area of support today followed by weekly low support at 1.760 from September 2001.  If 1.760 support is broken, a 1.610 monthly low from August 1998 will become the next downside objective.

The open gap created on Monday between 1.923-1.959 is the first area of resistance today followed by the 10 day moving average currently at 2.050.
