Natural Gas: A Turning Point

Natural gas bulls are looking aggressive enough to cross the first psychological resistance at $6 before July 6, 2022, as the southern part of the US will be very warm to hot with highs in the upper 80s to 100s.

Supply disruptions after the Freeport blast have turned the global politics to revolve around natural gas prices as the West and the East look busy defining their next geo-political moves only to influence their supremacy to show the efficiency in controlling inflation.

Natural Gas Futures Daily Chart
In a daily chart, futures have finally tested the seasonal bottom on Tuesday at $5.330. It could be a turning point for natural gas bulls as the volatile move was the second attempt by the natural gas bears after the first attempt on June 30, 2022.

Undoubtedly, prices look ready for a sharp reversal as demand could remain high for the next 7-days as the changing weather outlook looks quite supportive for the natural gas bulls.

Natural Gas Futures 1 Hr. Chart
In an hourly chart, the reversal shown by the futures looks sharp, which is likely to continue till this weekly closing if futures find a breakout above $5.767 in today’s trading session.

Natural Gas Futures 15 Minutes Chart
In a 15-Minutes chart, futures look ready for a bumpy move since the formation of a bullish crossover has been completed that could generate a short-covering rally once the futures find a sustainable move above the 200 DMA, which is currently at $5.732.

Finally, futures could continue the current rally after a sustainable move above $5.894. No doubt the volatility could remain higher during the subsequent three trading sessions, but the overall trend could remain bullish if futures hold above $5.767 even after the announcement of the weekly inventory on Thursday this week.

Good call! You made it this time👍
he was mentioning about reversal when the price dropped to 7
someone desperately wants the price to rebound for the last 2 weeks..! Unless the inventory report is bullish, the nat gas futures will continue to fall. There's no reason for any reversal especially with the US fed taking (meager ) measures to curb inflation and the Freeport LNG export terminal out of service for the next 2 months.
