Not since February has the price broken above and closed above the 50 day SMA. While clearly, bullish in bias I will wait until a confirmation of the gains during this week.

Patience Is the Call

Failure At Resistance

Daily Continuous

Behaving as a commodity market should — prices rallied, established a short term test of resistance and now the market need to retrace and test the low end of the range. This test of support should set a higher low and that would identify a base that may be the beginning of a forming a base for additional rallies.

Gas Finds a Bid

Daily Continuous

Not sure of the source of the buying yesterday– it may have been related to the strength in Crude market recently, but the market may want to trade up to high side of the range that held the market of late. Eventually the market will build a base that will carry prices up to establish the Q2 high. Not sure if this the beginning of the basing– I would expect it to form from failed rallies — testing support but setting a series of higher lows.

Major Support: $2.640-$2.57
Minor Support/Resistance : $2.87-$2.84, $3.16-$3.148, $3.136, $3.02-$2.97

June Should Trade to May

June maintained a slight premium to the expiring May contract, but that premium is likely to eliminated early in June’s life as prompt. The market is developing the Q2 lows and this week will clearly be the first attempt at establishing those lows.

Testing the Lows

Daily Continuation

Can’t get more bearish going into expiration (options today, May on Tuesday) as prices are testing the support zone that has remained firm for a long period of time. A contrarian would suggest that prices may rise. I will remain committed to not trading May but rather look at some summer spreads as prices continue to decline.

Minor Support/Resistance :
$2.87-$2.84, $3.16-$3.148, $3.136, $3.02-$2.97
Major Resistance: $3.35, $3.486-$3.494, $3.567, $ 3.736
