Warm Weather Weighs on Natural gas Demand

Natural Gas

Natural gas prices moved higher on Monday but remained below resistance which is former support near the 10-day moving average at 2.847.  Prices should remain under pressure as warmer than normal weather is forecast to cover most of the United States for the next 8-14 days according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

Prices are Rangebound

Prices appear to be mid range between a downward sloping trend line that connects the highs in December and the highs in November which comes in near 3.13.  Support is seen near an upward sloping trend line that comes in near 2.53. Positive momentum is decelerating as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) histogram prints in the black with an upward sloping trajectory which points to consolidation.
