Sunday Excitement

Daily Continuous

Sunday trade wants to test the resistance range for prices– if you are bearish (seasonal history) then the suggestion is to look at the options. From my perspective there are likely additional declines coming so I will choose patience for now.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.34, $3.39, $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461,

Storage Coming and Prices Are Mid-Range

Daily Continuation

Storage release comes out today and prices have not shown an early bias (high end of the weekly range) as to expectations. Last week, folks bought in advance knowing it was likely a large with drawl– This week not so much. Last week, the gains could not be held for the day– this week we shall see.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856

Run Stalls

Daily Continuous

The market has decided to place us in the middle of what to expect. By declining off of the Monday rally, prices are in the middle of the recent range ($3.36-$3.000). Good luck choosing bias direction– Would check the Weekly Detail for some insights.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.34, $3.39, $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461,

Another Sunday Night Gap

Daily Continuous

Prices bounced off the lows on Friday and showed a little strength late in the afternoon. Now they gaped up and are challenging the gap from the expiration and discount provided the Feb contract. These Sunday night events have not held there salt lately– so I would be patient in jumping on this wagon. Typically, either the high or low of prompt March trades during the last couple of days of January or the first few of calendar February. Nine of the last ten prompt Marches have conformed to that tendency. Seven of those nine were highs, two were lows (’20 was the exception).

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.34, $3.39, $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461,

Bullish Storage — But Prices Test $3.00

Daily Continuous

So let my confused mind sort through this — storage withdrawal numbers were way above expectations (highest I have on record), and prices declined? Whatever. Prices want to test the $3.00 mark that I discussed two days ago– so lets see if they have the power.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.39-$3.31, $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461, $4.75

Declines Accelerate Going Into Expiration

Daily Continuous

Prices declined and accelerated to close some of the gap between Feb and Mar contracts. Prompt has now lost over $.60 this week and I would not expect the declines to cease during expiration. My interest is on March which will likely test the $3.00.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.39-$3.31, $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461, $4.75

Price Declines Challenge Trend Line Support

Daily Continuous

Did not see that collapse coming – but the support trend line held on the Continuous chart but was destroyed on the spot March contract. The Feb contract reduced the gap that will occur on expiration but nothing has happened that would concern me from a technical standpoint for me to expect a major break out of the range.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.39-$3.31, $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461, $4.75

Strong Close to Week–Not Sure Enough

Daily Continuous

As we wrap up the Jan trade and put the Feb contract to bed, I am startled at the behavior with strong days of volatility, but over the month prices moved within a $1.00 Range (less than 30%). Must be aging faster than I thought–or the market is changing (both thoughts are accurate). Go into expectations in the Weekly section and will not attempt to give you a expiration range (especially because prices are down $.20 on Sunday night)– I can only recommend that you keep a eye on the March contract pictured in the Weekly section. That trend line may prove important.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,

Minor Support : $3.39-$3.31, $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856

Major Resistance: $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461, $4.75

Strong Run Into Storage

Daily Continuous

Prices rallied on the expectation of a substantial with drawl from storage last week. Some analysts are stating that the report will likely take inventories from a surplus to a deficit against the 5 year average. Perhaps folks bought into the report — now the question will be is there further buying to be had after the release. The range has not change for the Feb contract.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.39-$3.31, $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461, $4.75

Steady Declines

Daily Continuous

The declines continued but never really challenged the low end of support. If a buyer– wait for tests of support. The declines in prompt were significant compared to the outer months so you will need to set up range areas for the differed contracts per your risk range. The prompt will fall faster than differed like yesterday — so establish the support area you are comfortable with. Bears have to wait to a rally to establish positions.

Major Support:,$2.727-$2.784, $2.648, $2.39, $2.35, $2.112,
Minor Support : $3.39-$3.31, $3.167, $3.00-$2.95, $2.914, $1.856,$1.89-$1.856
Major Resistance: $3.829, $3.92, $4.00, $4.201, $4.378-$4.394, $4.461, $4.75
