Natural Gas Corner - Technical Update - Bullish Hammer Candlestick Formed On Tuesday




After spiking down to a new contract low at 2.014 in Tuesday’s early trade, the January 16 natural gas contract rallied back higher into the close settling at 2.070, up 3 ticks.

A potentially bullish hammer Japanese candlestick formed on yesterday’s bar but will need to be confirmed with higher trade today.

Yesterday’s low was technically important as it held above the 1.948 spot contract low set in October.  If this support continues to hold, a long term low could be set in the  natural gas market.

The 10 day moving average at 2.170 will be key technical resistance to watch as a close above this average would be further confirmation that a near and possibly long term low has been posted.

If 1.902-1.948 weekly low support is broken, the trend will remain down with 1.860 and 1.750-1.760 then becoming the next downside support levels.

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