Natural Gas Likely to Reach Turning Point Soon
Satendra Singh | Jan 11, 2023 00:25
Natural gas' price-action in the 15-minute time frame indicates that a renewed optimism is developing among the bulls since the gap-up opening this week.
The prices reversed sharply on Friday from the recent low at $3.520 and closed last week at $3.674 as Thursday’s inventory showed a withdrawal of more than 200 Bcf.
On Monday, the prices rallied amid changing weather announcements and a short-squeeze from the long-time low deep inside an oversold territory, hitting $4.123.
This sudden surge attracted bears to load shorts from the day’s high.
A sudden reversal could start on Tuesday at 08:30 ET (13:30 GMT) as the prices are still sustaining above the 26-Day Moving Average (DMA) in the 15-minute time frame, and the 9 DMA has crossed above the 26 DMA, forming a bullish crossover.
Immediate resistance is at $4.111, and the second resistance will be at $4.348. And on the lower side, immediate support is at 9 DMA, and the second significant support will be at 200 DMA.
The wild price swings will continue as natural gas futures are about to complete a base formation at this level before moving above $4.585.
A sustainable move above $4.258 in today’s trading session will be the first indication of the big bulls’ entry into the scenario.
