Finally — a Break

Daily Continuous

After the attempts we finally got a break down under $2.00 yesterday, but unlike short covering rallies there was little length liquidation on the break down. So now what — I always remember another trader who years ago mentioned to that finally breaking support (or resistance) is like the dog who loves to chase cars– barking, growling only to catch up with the car when it slowed down and the dog has no clue what to do. Lets see if the dogs (bears) can deal with their success.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Workin’ Hard For the Break At $2.00

Daily Continuous

I am reminded of a tune where the lyrics say “workin hard for the money….” That defines the gas trade of recent — the bears want that breakdown so bad– to see what lies below. As mentioned in the Weekly section there is this type of support well into the mid $1.90’s and then just below that for another $.15. Perhaps they believe that the fundamentals warrant prices down to a multi decade low below $1.40. That is why there are markets — representing differing views and speculation. I am looking for technical divergences.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Spinning Wheels

Daily Continuous

Just to confirm what a nerd I am with this market — I have decided to watch the market in 5 minute increments for a change. Yesterday, trade came in selling for the until about 8 am Central time then spent the next few hours consolidating before building a small rally into expiration. Why do you ask why I bring this up– this consolidation type trading is extremely boring for this trader so I just to look for anything that can give me a directional bias. Not so yesterday. Play the range discussed in the Daily yesterday and if I wake up early enough tomorrow I will proved some key technical details — if i don’t (may go skiing) well you know what to do.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

$2.00 Holding Firm — So Far

Daily Continuous

Not much to say about the technical side of trade — with the exception that $2.00 and just above seems to be finding some buyer. Went into the expectations in the Weekly should that break earlier, so hold on and see what happens (or sell some premium in the options market).

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Declines Start Consolidation

Daily Consolidation

Nothing more than previously discussed from a technical standpoint, with major support zones just below trade. With the upcoming storage report, perhaps the bears are looking for a flashpoint to add to the shorts.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

My Apologies No New Brilliance

Daily Continuous

Nothing new in striking technical analysis other than what was said yesterday and in the Weekly section earlier this week.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Seems to Test 2023 Support

Daily Continuous

Understand the large gap from last Friday to yesterday was inclusive of the discount that March maintains to the Feb expiration– So all I can theorize is this bear market wants to test the numerous support zones mention in the Weekly area and then see what happens. Good luck picking your low.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support :
Major Resistance $2.45, $2.56, $2.64, $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

What To Do?

Daily Continuous

My response to that heading is NOTHING. Go into some history and options in the Weekly section, but this discount issue needs to get resolved.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.47, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Daily Continuous

Prices got a solid bid during the night on Wed night — so much that it challenged $2.88+. Did not last long, when the market came in and declines started in earnest and broke below the previous close. Interesting to watch — but I would not trade this market until it defines solid support and resistance. Remember, that the Feb is now at a $.40 premium to March and March is trading in and below a major support zone.. Going to take a casual approach to this expiration — focusing more on the continuation charts.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.47, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65

Gap Closed During Consolidation

Daily Continuous

Prices are not going to $2.00 (at least not in this decline) as the usual suspects of sellers dwindled as prices challenged $2.20. In yesterday’s consolidation trade the gap from earlier in the week was closed and prices extended up another dime. Now we have a storage report and the price remains in the middle of the current near term.

Major Support:, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.47, $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance $3.00, $3.16, $3.48, $3.536, 3.59, $3.65
