Extension Runs Out of Buyers

Daily Continuous

Price action tried to extend the recent run and did on a closing basis, but after the close the declines started in the after-market. Not sure where all this is headed as I discussed expectations into the expiration process in the Weekly section of the website and some have already been met. Be cautious in adding length into the long week end with the history of weakness around the holiday. Taking a long weekend this week so there will be no Daily on Friday and hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.46, $2.67, $2.844

Recent Run Cools

Daily Continuous with RSI

Was expecting a correction from the recent run per my comments in the Daily yesterday, not sure it is complete especially with the storage report coming in a couple of days, but it may extend down to the $2.51ish area before it is done. That type of decline will moderate the daily RSI and the weekly RSI– key element to watch is volume should the declines continue.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.46, $2.67, $2.844

Market Gains Continue– Overbought Levels

Daily Continuous with RSI

As most of you know, one of the tools I use to judge the condition of the market is the Relative Strength Index (RSI) a “momentum” indicator. When the calculation climbs above 80 (currently calculation is over 87), the market is characterized as being in the extreme over bought area. Looking at the chart above –notice that when the market hit the extreme zone in Oct ’23 and Jan ’24 there was a correction lower in the near term. Expect similar behavior with this current situation. The historical weakness around the holiday and the expiration coming — it would be prudent to expect a slight correction.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.46, $2.67, $2.844

Bias Has Changed

Daily Continuous

Not sure if you caught the theme of the Daily’s last week, but the market seems to be signalling a change in bias. Go into some of the supporting details in the Weekly section, but suffice to say, gas may be heading into a bullish period at a historically bullish season of the year. This does not mean straight up as some of the short covering has already occurred (see Weekly) and the Memorial holiday usually provide some weakness, should you be interested in participating.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.46, $2.67, $2.844

Closing Expiration Gap

Daily Continuation

Been discussing the high side resistance being the expiration gap from the Feb expiration- and now it closed yesterday. From here you will notice the 200 day SMA just above yesterday’s highs– it should provide some resistance. A break above that level and there may be some momentum to take prices higher as there is likely to be some associated short covering. To the downside will be the storage release –possibly pressuring price rallies.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.168-$2.411 (gap), $2.46, $2.67

Short Term Range Happening

Daily Continuation

It’s only a couple of days since last week– but there seems to be a mini-range developing in the June trade between $2.20 – $2.40. Continue to play that until the market tells you that is over.

Gap Inches Smaller

Daily Continuous

Yesterday brought on some gains that lessened the gap from earlier in the year, trading to a high of $2.377 at the end of the day’s trade. Spoke about closing the gap perhaps this week — all I can say now is that if it doesn’t close this week – its going to miss a great opportunity. Having a gap with this much space can make the process slow and piece by piece.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.168-$2.411 (gap),

Biting Into the Gap Pauses — For Now

Daily Continuous

Go into some of the technical considerations from last week’s trade action in the Weekly section. Suffice to say, as expressed last week in the Daily’s the gap from January got gradually chewed up during the week. It still exists and would expect this to be closed during the month. Suggest working within the small trading range for June gas for now ($2.12-$2.34).

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.168-$2.411 (gap), $2.26

Additional Bites Into Gap

Daily Continuous

The rally continued after the storage release with prices testing near term support only to rally and bite into the gap from January. Playing with length seems to be profitable – but care and respect should be given to the gap closing– should it occur. The bias continues to confirm the change but time will tell and the weekly close should provide my more information.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.168-$2.411 (gap), $2.26

Important Storage Release

Daily Continuous

This week’s release of data is likely one of the last reports that will not have the effects of heat in TX, OK and the southern regions as temps head higher into the late spring and summer months. The timing, from a technical perspective, is very good as the market seems to be consolidating the gains from the end of April and should test the area from $2.12-$2.00, confirming the base zone.

Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312
Minor Support : $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94
Major Resistance: $2.168-$2.411 (gap), $2.26
