Prices advanced the declines – testing the support trend line from the Dec lows and the July lows before finding a bid. Now the market needs to confirm the lows and the declines after the storage report that is released tomorrow. It may confirm the from selling rallies to buying the dips (this started with the breakout above $6.45). Keep stops tight if entering length or selling into the new range.

Major Support:$7.00- $6.93, $6.45, $5.72, $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

Discussed yesterday about the history of calendar Dec trade and opening with weakness. That history continued with yesterday’s action and now the market will need to define the low side of the Jan contract in the coming days. From a trade perspective, would cautiously enter length on key areas with tight stops in- case the market chooses to re-evaluate the bullish break above $6.45.

Major Support:$7.00- $6.93, $6.45, $5.72, $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

Prices opened weak for the expiring Dec contract and traded down to $6.50 before expiration at $6.712. The January followed the declines in the middle of the night trade falling below $7.00 to $6.968 before finding support as the majority of traders came to their desks. From those early lows of the day, prices found firm footing and traded at a $.45 premium to the weak December contract. The result of the expiration is a premium to Dec expiration but within the recent range from Dec. The market will need to digest the weather forecasts and confirm the recent range or expand it either up or down. Historically, the market shows weakness in the early trade of the Jan prompt.

Major Support:$7.00- $6.93, $6.45, $5.72, $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

December goes off the board today and The virus has returned to my chest — read the Weekly please. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Mentioned in the Daily yesterday — I wanted to see a test of the old resistance zone — prices to bounce and rebound. Just about what happened. Want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and please enjoy or family and friends. First storage with drawl of the winter season in the storage report so lets rock and roll.

Major Support:$6.45, $5.72, $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $6.74,$7.00, $7.18, $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

Saw this movie last month as prices tested $7.00 — closed the day above the key resistance level ($6.40-$6.46) only to give it all up and more on the next day. That was a Monday -Tuesday combo day as well. The question this observer has is the resistance zone coming up (sighted above) hold as support or do prices fall back into the previous range. Today and the rest of the week will give us clues — we may be headed to a new range for traders $6.45-$7,25.

Major Support:$6.45, $5.72, $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $6.74,$7.00, $7.18, $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

Since Labor Day (just before) price action went from positive to negative and this website has explained the declines and potential outcomes of the technical destruction that had occurred. Now, we are faced with a “tipping point”– the market has used the area around $6.41 as resistance (mentioned here) and there has been only one daily “close” above that area on Monday a couple of weeks ago. That rally turned out false and prices quickly confirmed the silliness. That area is the old gap from the massive sell-off in October and has limited gains since. Yesterday was a great opportunity to settle a day above that area (confirming support) but instead basically closed right on it. For any additional gains in price-the market has to show the sponsorship to close distinctly above that resistance and follow through after the settle. Until that happens– the market remains at the high end of the trading range.

Major Support: $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $6.41-$6.456, $6.74,$7.00, $7.18, $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

Not sure what happened or hit the news wire but prices caught a major bid, rallying $.25 in 30 minutes at the end of the day yesterday. Range trading around $5.80-$5.90 until a whole bunch of folks decided it was wise to be buying. Still trading in the range discussed — I was surprised to see a rally going into a storage report which is likely to show another injection– perhaps the last of the month due on weather this week. Whatever happens — it is again another mystery.

Major Support: $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $6.456, $6.74,$7.00, $7.18, $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,

Price action remains trading around the $6.00 area and some would call it a consolidation phase. Yesterday, continued this trading between $5.85 and $6.20 which is a smaller range that recent volatility. Is the consolidation setting up additional declines– down to the lows from previous declines — or is it developing a base from which a Q4 rally can commence and sustain. Have limited knowledge of any fundamental reasons for either of the potential outcomes so there will be no explanation.

Major Support: $5.61-$5.44, $4.716, $4.705-$4.68
Minor Support: $5.47
Major Resistance: $6.456, $6.74,$7.00, $7.18, $7.532, $7.71-7.75, 8.021,
