Friday Collapse — A Directional Indication or Short Term Profits

Daily Continuation

The collapse on Friday is concerning for the bulls, but the general action last week does not show that prices will extend significantly the losses from Friday’s trade. Go into the history about this time of year in the Weekly section, and would not be surprised to see some weakness as prices open today. It remains this analysts view, to follow history showing Q4 highs have been higher than Q3 highs in every year since ’00 except ’01, ’08, ’10, ’11 and ‘14. Be careful here to establish position for the upcoming Q4.

Major Support:$8.47-$8.40, $7.956-$7.91, $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support$$8.619 $7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $8.58-$9.021, $9.35, $9.40, 9.664
$9.67, $9.98

A Brief Pause

Daily Continuation

I found an internet signal briefly this afternoon–Please read the Weekly section that was updated today. It seems that the market is establishing whether the recent move was warranted and likely waiting for the upcoming storage report to confirm the recent run.

Run Continues? or Light Selling Commences

Daily Continuous

Will go into the aspects and potential interpretation of the inverted head and shoulder formation that seems to be developing in the Daily chart later this week. For now- the inability of prices to break below the $8.90-$9.00 area for a couple of times suggests that a mini-range may be in play. My expectations have been that a decline would challenge the $8.50 area but sellers have run out well before that area has gotten tested.

Major Support:$8.47-$8.40, $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$9.057, $7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $9369-$9.419-$9.598, $9.664

Resistance Even On a Bullish Report

Daily Continuation

Interesting trade day as the market got a bullish report — rallied– then proceeded to retrace. An interpretation of that behavior suggests that the run in prices needs more drive. Perhaps, a slight retracement to the close or lows from last Friday are coming.

Major Support:$8.47-$8.40, $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$9.057, $7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $9369-$9.419-$9.598, $9.664

Caution Flag

Daily Continuous

Recommended caution on buying into the Monday rally and yesterday proved why. The bull market is likely to continue into Q4 but there will be better buying opportunities in the next couple of weeks. Doubt there is the opportunity for a lower low than the July low for the Q3 low– that said — you never know for sure. Let the next round of fundamental data (storage release) hit the market and observe the markets reaction– as mentioned in the earlier Daily’s.

Major Support:$8.47-$8.40, $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$9.057, $7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $9369-$9.419-$9.598, $9.664

The Warning Came on Monday

Daily Continuous

The trade on Monday sent out a warning shot that prices will head higher, perhaps not all week but for the upcoming weeks, expect a solid test of $10.00. Buyers are coming ahead of support zones and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of sellers at resistance zones. Interesting week we are in– tread carefully.

Correction Started — Then Got Lost

Daily Continuation

As expected a correction to test support levels below commenced on the open and ran out of sellers by mid morning. Pay attention to that detail over the next couple of days. If prices can’t test some semi-important support levels before buyers come in — my expectations may not be met. This week will prove very important to trade going into expiration and the seasonal weakness associated with Labor Day.

Major Support:$8.04, $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $8.95, $8.996-$9.057

Don’t Believe Retests of Support are Over

Daily Continuous

Not sure the market will continue gains — but rather history suggests that this is seasonal period of weakness at the end of August and early Sept. There will be another test of support — but the support level may by higher ($7.50 per the Weekly analysis). Whether it can garner the support from there will remain a question. Sunday night trade suggests additional weakness– but that may just be the normal Sunday noise.

Major Support: $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $8.95, $8.996-$9.057

Supply and Demand Near Expectations

Daily Continuous

Not too sure what to make of the trade yesterday. The Storage release came well within expectations (according to the press reports) only to go nowhere on the release. Then prices started a solid onslaught of gains through the day– challenging the $9.00 late in the morning. From the tech side — rally to the resistance with a brief break out above only to fail at the next level of resistance and close just above the previous resistance zone — not what I would suggest as compelling rally for higher prices.

Major Support: $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $8.95, $8.996-$9.057

Prices Continue to Advance

Daily Continuation

Nice gains off of the rebound — now the market needs to digest the battle between dry gas production vs demand and LNG– commonly referred to as the storage release. Technical data points continue to support the rally, but as the chart above shows the rallies have run into profit taking and a lack of commitment to higher prices.

Major Support: $7.55, $7.14, $7.078, $6.88, $6.754,$6.38, $6.02, $5.623,
Minor Support:$7.35, $7.41, $6.42, $5.548, $5.40-$5.45
Major Resistance: $8.95, $8.996-$9.057
