Rebound Off of Sunday Open

Daily Continuous

Prices gradually rallied during the day to close the small gap from the Sunday night open. No technical variance from what was discussed yesterday and on the Weekly portion of the website. Having some dental work tomorrow — as a result may not be able to write the Daily– and not sure it would make any sense.

Major Support: $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $3.01, $3.12, $3.251, $3.31, $3.396

Market Will Define Near Term Support During Expiration

Daily Continuous

Discussed last week that the trade would help “define” the expiration process this week. The failure of the rally (creating a weekly reversal — see the Weekly section) has assisted in determining the annual weakness surrounding Memorial Day Holiday. Prices on Sunday night do what they do best (create a narrative going into Monday) and have created a small gap in the weekly and daily charts. As mentioned last Monday on the rally — it will be interesting to see if this narrative remains through the day and expiration.

Major Support: $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $3.01, $3.12, $3.251, $3.31, $3.396

No Daily By Email

Daily Continuous

Apologies for no Daily in the email this a.m.– I am not technically trained in computers and had some internet issues while observing a hockey game. Would of been a waste of time as the market is just going to test the low side of the trade range going into expiration week as discussed yesterday.

Major Support: $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $3.01, $3.12, $3.251, $3.31, $3.396

Guess a “New” Range

Daily Continuous

As discussed yesterday that the prices were bound to test the break out area and that they did breaking below the $3.00 area yesterday. Perhaps, a new range is trying to form (basically between $2.90 – $3.10), we will have to wait to watch the action. There are four trade days before the expiration 3-day close and as mentioned, this will set up the expiration and the roll into July. Would expect this is the range to manage price into the close.

Major Support: $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $3.12, $3.251, $3.31, $3.396

Not Surprising

Daily Continuous

Not surprising that after a rally that was provoked by short covering (breaking above the $3.00 level) prices would retrace back to the old resistance area that is now support ($3.00). Thank you to the subscribers that forwarded emails regarding the break above and the expectations going into the July contract as prompt. It will not be a straight action of rising prices onward with the July contract and as discussed yesterday, we need to watch how this sets up for expiration. The retracement to test the support yesterday is very healthy for the market now does it break back below short term support ($3.00) and for how long.

Major Support: $3.001, $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $3.12, $3.251, $3.31, $3.396

No Fake Out — Prices Hold Above $3.00

Daily Continuation

Have discussed here for the last week about testing and breaking above $3.00. Last week, prices had a wonderful opportunity but failed, retracing back into the range. Then on a Sunday night prices open above the key resistance area and stay above throughout the day. As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Natural Gas had not shown the strength of the other commodities in price action this spring, perhaps it is catching up. If so– this run will likely last into the July trade and perhaps longer– the key is this week setting up expiration. Clearly, the longer term analysis brought forth in the fall regarding the higher highs and higher lows remains in place.

Major Support: $3.001, $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $3.12, $3.251, $3.31, $3.396

Sunday Night Fake Break or Real

Daily Continuous

Was going to discuss, yet another failure at key resistance, but the open on Sunday night caught me be surprise. As discussed last week, and this week in the Weekly section, was expecting June contract to meander in the range created during the month, with the break above pushed back until the July contract takes over as prompt– It will be interesting to see if the break above holds during the day. Would be cautious here until the day defines itself.

Major Support: $2.883, $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $2.98-$3.05, $3.12

So Much For Those Ideas

Daily Continuous

Prices got an immediate run on the storage release only to fail and retrace back into the comfort range of late. Well, I tried to promote the concept of $3+ prices but to no avail. The technical input suggests that prices will break above that area but, perhaps, the timing will be after the June prompt. History does suggest otherwise. The only problem with this range trade it is a dime in width where before it was $.20-$.25 and better for trading.

Support: $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $2.98-$3.05, $3.12
Minor Resistance:

OK Something Maybe Forming

Daily Continuous

Well, perhaps the market is starting to gather the fortitude to attack the $3.00 top end of the range as most of the other commodities have during the last month (some on numerous occasions). If gas does not garner the momentum to break above $3.00 it is miss a great chance to do so. From my trading perspective, I am not going to be selling at the resistance on the first opportunity and rather observe how the market behaves. We all know what will happen if the rally falls short again.

Support: $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $2.98-$3.05, $3.12
Minor Resistance:

Really

Daily Continuous

Getting tired of this no trade – trade. May have to update in the future with oil, corn, soybeans or copper as they seem to be taking all the trade oxygen out of the markets. Will continue to update gas but feeling terrible about being uninformative to you folks who pay fees for basically the same analysis day after day. Stick with the ranges and hope Thursday will usher a change.

Support: $2.78, $2.71-$2.70, $2.658, $2.52, $2.422-$2.414
Minor Support:$2.876, $2.694, $2.483, $2.162
Major Resistance: $2.98-$3.05, $3.12
Minor Resistance:
