The Daily Is Back

Daily Continuation

Thanks for all the kind wishes over the last couple of days– gas, really, did nothing to catch my attention from bed. Still in the range from last week — but the market does seem to be “basing” here (see the Weekly Update) for some additional tests of resistance. It was informative that the declines on Monday were reversed on Tuesday and the selling ran out of follow through. Seems to be developing a new range near term– for the longer range thoughts bring up today’s Weekly.

Major Support: $2.533, $2.422, $2.238
Minor Support:
Major Resistance$3.536, 3.595, $3.63, $3.789, $4.128, $4.22-$4.39, $4.75-$4.825, $4.948

It Is a Start

Daily Continuous

My apologies for no Daily yesterday — illness limited my computer time. The trade on Monday and yesterday (more so yesterday) did take on some of the characteristics of short covering— but will have to wait until open interest and volume are final. Explaining “some” is about the volume with the open interest at key levels of resistance and/or support– which yesterday broke through the $2.50 area finally (resistance) and closed above that level. That does not suggest the market is off to the rallies — rather just an adjustment in the trader’s eyes. We will know when the short covering rally has commenced when there is a strong volume day and open interest declines.

Major Support: $2.533, $2.422, $2.238
Minor Support:
Major Resistance$3.536, 3.595, $3.63, $3.789, $4.128, $4.22-$4.39, $4.75-$4.825, $4.948

Was Wrong on the Volume

Daily Continuous

Tuesday was a higher volume day and was matched yesterday, Now lets look at the storage release and the reaction to it. Would be a buyer on support tests, going into the football weekend,

Over-sold Reaching History

Daily Continuous

Discuss some of the historic aspects of the declines since last fall in the Weekly section. Not going into here as well– just here to say — not sure from where but there will be a short covering rally coming up that will challenge the over-bought correction experiences from last summer and last fall. Careful through here.

Minor Support:
Major Resistance$3.536, 3.595, $3.63, $3.789, $4.128, $4.22-$4.39, $4.75-$4.825, $4.948

Headed to $1.00

Daily Continuous

Well– the RSI (weekly) jumped to the lowest level in the last decade– but some traders are irrelevant of that fact and are confirming to some that prices are headed under $2.00 — yee haw. Must admit that this level of bearishness is not to be taken lightly nor relevant to future prices — as the market is setting itself up for a significant short covering episode.

Major Support: $2.533, $2.422, $2.238

Don’t Listen To Technical Issues — Keep Selling

Daily Continuous

That is the mantra for the speculators currently– Over-sold ??? Who cares keep selling. Have to admit one element that has been accurate three of the last four weeks is anticipating bearish storage reports beget more selling which has proven profitable on a day basis. Its been the theme for the month of January and Feb started off singing the same tune. These little tendencies are good for a quick position but would never hold over night due to the general over sold bias discussed of late. Did a look into the nature of who (segment) is selling since the Nov highs and hope to share with you over the weekend.

Major Support: 2.68, $2.533, $2.422, $2.238

A Quiet Day

Daily Continuation

What a quiet day for natural gas yesterday, guess the bears ran into some issues is sending prices down further. Not much to say about the technical side from yesterday.

Major Support: $2.761, 2.68, $2.533, $2.422, $2.238
Minor Support:
Major Resistance$3.536, 3.595, $3.63, $3.789, $4.128, $4.22-$4.39, $4.75-$4.825, $4.948

Rally During Expiration

Daily Continuation

Was somewhat startled to see the rally on expiration– almost brought back memories of 2022 expiration’s. The rally to the close up to $3.109 but the March contract was left for dead $.25 lower. Now the market opens on Sunday night and prices are wanting to extend the declines to yet a lower low. Will not say that won’t happen, as natural gas always goes to extremes both up and down. Go into a lot of the technical considerations on the Weekly section– but due to the current condition of the bias would not be adding to bearish positions except on rallies back above $3.00.

Major Support: $2.761, 2.68, $2.533, $2.422, $2.238
Minor Support:
Major Resistance$3.536, 3.595, $3.63, $3.789, $4.128, $4.22-$4.39, $4.75-$4.825, $4.948

Feb Contract Going Into Free Fall

Daily Continuous

Prices just continue to press lower — which is great for some — for me I cleared my shorts on the failure of the rally on Monday. Left a few chips on the table — but I sleep well. Got no clue where this is going to decline down to but, as mentioned yesterday, lots of folks are on one side of this boat and I am not one of them. Will be out of internet service tomorrow so there will be no Daily for Friday.

Major Support: $3.18-$3.09, $3.00
Minor Support:
Major Resistance$3.536 –$3.63, $3.789, $4.22-$4.39, $4.75-$4.825, $4.948, $5.056
