Was Off Base

Daily Continuous

Well, guess I was a little off base when prices only declined to $2.647 which was well above the close and expiration of the September contract. The Labor Day trend, though, has not completed yet so perhaps the prognostication will prove relevant. Time will tell — storage release — yee haw, the gap between 5 year and this year continues to narrow but the story remains the same — we got plenty of gas in the ground. The bears have to realize that depending on forecasts and actuality, that “surplus” can disappear quickly in November. Trade wise the top of the range now is $3.00 and expect selling there.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59

September Goes Quietly

Daily Continuous

Staying within the range that September contract had developed, it went out on a quiet note towards the low end of the range it had developed. Now we have a fresh Oct contract with tropical disturbances (bearish) and the Labor Day weekend trends (bearish before/or after the holiday). Then you include my prediction in the Weekly analysis, that the new prompt would likely give up any premium it had to Sept and you have my prediction for the next two days of trade. Won’t hear from me until after the holiday.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59

Two Days Left — Range Rockin

Daily Continuation

As discussed in the Weekly area — would expect the premium afforded to the October contract to dissolve after the September contract expires. Perhaps, the premium dissipates during the expiration– we will see. From a trade perspective watch the premium vs the September movement.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59

Startling Response to Bullish Report

Daily Continuous

When prices don’t rally on bullish news (storage report) then you have a segment of folks lining up to keep the price low– question is — how long can they keep it suppressed before another short covering rally like two weeks ago. It is a bearish seasonal period though but running out of prompt.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59

Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17

Prices stayed quiet after the initial declines– patience is the best trading advise I can provide — play the outer ranges and if bored sell premium.

Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17

Where Do We Go — Nowhere

Daily Continuous

Discussed the possibility of price action dying during the summer and staying in a range. My worst fears seem to be occurring.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17

Price Action Declines to Support

Daily Continuous

The quiet declines continued into the close on Friday with prices firming just below the $2.57 – $2.60 zone. Due to a close of weekly prices below the previous week’s low- the technical expectation is for prices to extend the declines further. History tells us that the Labor Day weekend is historically linked with weaker prices so this will be interesting to watch. From a trade perspective, buy the lows of the range and sell on the rally off of a failed test.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59

Consolidation With In the Range

Daily Continuous

The storage report provided little or bias impact so prices spent most of the day consolidating in a tight range. As suggested a few weeks ago — this may be as exciting a trade as Natty will give us for a while.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59

Declines Extend

Daily Continuous

In the Weekly section on Sunday — I expected a decline to be retesting lows around $2.69 — well I missed that decline by more than $.10. Now what – perhaps additional declines to $2.47 may occur but they are likely to be brief. My expectations are that the low end of the new range should be completed (near term)– from which prices will rally back to test resistance.

Major Support: $2.47, $2.00, $1.991-$1.96, $1.795-$1.766
Minor Support $2.38-$2.26, $2.17
Major Resistance$2.83, $3.00, $3.536, 3.59
