Quick Fundamental Outlook
Natural Gas Price Forecast
Natural Gas (NG) has retreated to $2.43, a drop of 2.53%, with the market gravitating below the pivot point of $2.46. Immediate resistance forms at $2.58, with subsequent levels at $2.71 and $2.85, while supports are found at $2.31, $2.20, and $2.06.
The RSI stands neutral at 51, reflecting a market in balance. However, the MACD at -0.00390 crossing below the signal line of 0.00300 suggests bearish momentum. Additionally, the 50 EMA at $2.45 aligns with a downward trendline, further reinforcing resistance.
With the closing below $2.45 indicating a possible selling trend, the bearish sentiment prevails. The short-term forecast anticipates potential tests of lower support levels unless NG can reclaim ground above $2.45.
WTI Oil Price Forecast
Brent Oil Price Forecast
UKOIL has advanced to $80.09, marking a 1.10% increase within the last day, positioned just above the pivot point of $80.07. This recent climb positions it against an immediate resistance at $83.06, with further barriers at $84.85 and $87.05.
Supports are etched at $77.53, followed by $75.24 and $72.44. The RSI at 71 suggests the oil is in overbought territory, potentially foreshadowing a retracement. However, with prices buoyed above the 50 EMA of $77.31, the short-term trend remains bullish.
The presence of a downward trendline extending resistance at $80.10 has been noted, hinting at a pivotal moment for UKOIL. A bullish breakout above this could further cement the buying trend. In the short term, we might expect the asset to test higher resistances if the bullish momentum sustains.
