This Defines Consolidation

Daily Continuation

Up eight down five welcome to the consolidation world. This is the perfect environment for selling premium which I will continue to do.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Slight But Solid Gains

Daily Continuation

The first day of the September contract as prompt showed some slight strength but time will tell for the contract. Still expecting the lows later in the month so perhaps this is just some consolidation until the next decline occurs.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Expiration Trend Continues

Daily Continuous

The trend of expiration’s continue as the August contract was well offered just as it’s predecessors. With the light volume associated for the last week would not expect any great volatility in the next week. Perhaps the demand will bring some support – but it should be short lived.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Can’t Argue With Another Weekly Low Close

Daily Continuous

As the predecessors before it this year, the August contract was amply offer into the close last week and traded below $2.00 for the first time since last spring. Go into expectations in the Weekly section, so I will not repeat here. Suffice to say that the lower weekly close is a bearish indicator and none of my momentum indicators show the market as oversold (though approaching) so an am;y offered expiration should still be in the cards — though late Sunday trade has the market firming.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Storage Pressures Further

Daily Continuous

Don’t think I am going out on a limb here but I think the August contract is going to follow the previous contracts by being well-offered into expiration. What is getting more interesting is the Winter ’25 summer ’25 spreads during this decline.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Testing, Testing and Testing

Daily Continuous

Last Week’s lows continue to provide the near term support for the declines to help establish the low end of the range. This range should hold the majority of trade for the upcoming few weeks. Spread traders may want to look at some of the winter 2024/5 trades in the coming weeks as the low end of the range occurs.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Finding Support

Daily Consolidation

Not sure how long this run will last, but it is good to see some rebound (as discussed in the Weekly). It may just be providing trade a new place to short or it may be gradually starting to run in small steps.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Some Slight Consolidation

Daily Consolidation

Declines slowed and consolidation at the lows of last week provided the market a chance to take a breath from the oversold RSI at the lows. Higher volumes on the declines and gaining open interest during the declines suggest that the market is expecting additional extensions lower.

Major Support:, $1.848, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.39, $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Further Collapse

Daily Continuation

What timing the market continues the declines and I found internet service for a while. A big target on conventional support presented by the highs of calendar March and April ($2.009 –$2.092) and then the “expiration” gap left after May gas went off the board ($1.848 –$1.913, ). My thoughts (as suggested the other day) were that those targets will remain untested until later in Q3 (sometime around the annual Labor Day lows) but not right now. It may prove noteworthy that September traded a lower low while it was losing the little bit of premium that had been awarded over August. I still believe (though feeling lonely) that still expect a July rally from a post – Independence Day low.

Major Support:, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16

Declines May Form the Q3 Low

Daily Continuous

Was expecting the annual Q3 low to occur either side of Labor Day but the way this market is behaving — it may happen in July. Will have to look into how many times that has happened while traveling this week. Headed to Montana and the cell / internet service will be spotty until next Tuesday. We all need a week off and I will be enjoying mine. Will check in when available — in the mean time — sell premium and should the market reverse (expected) will be highlighting it if possible.

Major Support:, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.26, $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.44-$$2.502, $2.618, $3.00, $3.16
