Expected Run Now What

Daily Continuous

That didn’t take long for prices to rally, as discussed yesterday, and the run took prices up to low resistance zones. We shall see how far this rally goes and yes, the forecasts will have a lot to do with the run extension. I will stick with the technical data points and will trade accordingly with an eye to some forecasts defining sudden moves.

Major Support: $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Major Support Holds– For Now

Daily Continuous

Prices closed below the trend line off of the Sept / Oct lows and are now challenging the major support zone around $3.00. Guess December is going to be warm and the Thanksgiving parade will be in shorts. No clue but this decline will end and the late comers will be gutted unless Dec is warm and comfy.

Major Support: $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Declines Continue to Define Low Range

Daily Continuous

The declines continued and now seem to want to test the $3.00 zone and then perhaps lower. No storage report to bring volatility to prices so would continue to buy support and keep the stops tight (around $3.00).

Major Support: $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

A Dip Into Strong Support

Daily Continuous

A move early in the day took prices down below the expiration of Nov to $3.099. That low did not get tested again during the day. Price action seems to be a result of winter not arriving and folks are loading up the shorts with expectations of additional declines. Have seen this type of action on weather forecasts early in the season and have watched the covering when forecasts change.

Major Support: $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

New Gap Above

Daily Continuous

The decline yesterday was significant and some what expected as prices had raced off of the new prompt strength. Challenging support now the action has left a new gap on the Daily chart above which will likely act as a magnet for price action in the coming days. Currently prices are about in the middle of the range of action on the continuous chart between $2.98–$3.64. Time to sit back and observe — no need to trade every day.

Major Support: $3.25, $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Dec Prompt Will Develop Its Range

Daily Continuous

In the title there is the assumption that the Dec contract has not developed its range. The low end of the range has yet to be developed and then tested. Last week did not achieve that objective. Perhaps, this week will give us further insights. Check the Weekly for the broader expectations.

Major Support: $3.25, $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Market Above Surface — Treading Along

Daily Continuous

Storage report provided little impact on prices yesterday as the treading continues. If your active trading you have to be patient and work the larger points of support or resistance to initiate positions. The general market is bullish (higher highs and higher lows) and the seasonal is bullish as we are in Q4 which historically brings strength. Fundamentals show a bunch of gas in the storage as we head into winter, production remains at summer highs, and the only wild card is LNG (been strong of late and growing). Good luck picking your direction as the market is in the middle of the Dec range.

Major Support: $3.25, $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Slight Retrace but Not Enough Yet

Daily Continuous

Developing a new word instead of the old range bound that I have been using for the last few month– how about “treading”. Treading up then to tread down only to end up at the same place on the hamster wheel. So here we sit waiting for some key piece of information (likely fundamental) that will lead to some directional bias and volatility. Did I mention the storage report is coming out tomorrow.

Major Support: $3.25, $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Has the Low Side of Dec’s Range Been Defined?

Daily Continuous

Not sure if the low yesterday will end up being the low for the Dec contract but it was a good start. Not trading down to the close of the Nov contract is important but not critical. In fact it does set itself up as a support zone for the life of the Dec contract. The technical explanation for yesterday is prices tested support on Monday only to run short of additional sellers yesterday and with some supportive fundamental data the mood of the market swung to the bullish bias. Keys will be how long this bias remains in the market.

Major Support: $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Expected Declines

Daily Continuous

As discussed in the reports yesterday, prices declined to absorb some of the premium afforded to the December contract but not convinced that that the premium will not be reduced some more. Keep your eyes on the Continuous price charts as they will reflect where the market may go rather than the prompt chart provides.

Major Support: $2.98-$3.03, $2.82-$2.78, $2.74, $2.608, $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $3.16, $2.84, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.42-$3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65
