Market Overview
Oil prices slipped as the market considered Kazakhstan’s gradual supply recovery alongside new disruptions elsewhere. Operations restarted at Kazakhstan’s largest field and the CPC export pipeline, which eased short-term supply tightness and put pressure on Brent time spreads. The March–April premium stayed high at over $0.80 per barrel, compared to about $0.30 earlier this month.
However, this weakness was partly balanced by weather-related outages in the US, where a severe winter storm shut in up to 2 million barrels per day, about 15 percent of national output, and disrupted Gulf Coast refineries.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions kept a risk premium in place, adding to uncertainty in oil and natural gas forecasts as traders weighed better supply against fragile supply chains.
Natural Gas Price Forecast: NG Pulls Back From $6.80 as Momentum Cools Above Key Fib Support
Natural gas is trading around $6.58 after it could not stay above $6.80, which is the 0.236 Fibonacci level from the $3.91 to $7.45 rally. On the 4-hour chart, recent candles have smaller bodies and upper wicks, showing some hesitation after the recent sharp move up.
The price is still above the rising trendline and remains within a short-term ascending channel. Fibonacci support is at $6.39 (0.382) and $6.06 (0.50), both serving as near-term demand zones.
The 50-EMA is still moving higher above the 200-EMA, so the trend structure is holding. The RSI has dropped from overbought levels to the mid-50s, which points to slowing momentum rather than a reversal. Resistance is at $6.80 and then $7.45.
Trade idea: Consider buying near $6.40, with a target of $6.95 and a stop below $6.05.
