First Off– will not be posting next week and will have sporadic Daily updates as I am traveling into northern Ontario Canada, which maintains limited internet access.
It looks like the market wants to challenge the low end of the trading range for the September contract. There seems to be no momentum to take prices back up to the failure of last week at $2.30. That behavior will likely continue during the remainder of the September contract. The almost always important 20 – weeks SMA is $2.243, the 40 – weeks is just above $2.300 and falling. In between is the zone between the low of week ending 07/12 and the high of the following week ($2.249 – $2.285) which was the terminal point of a rally attempt by then prompt August prompt. It is still August and the Q3 seasonal pressure should be expected to weigh on the gas market.
