Natural gas markets rallied significantly during the trading session on Wednesday, reaching towards the $2.96 level again. This is an area that has been massive resistance previously, and it looks likely that breaking above there could be very bullish, perhaps reaching towards the $3.00 level. However, longer-term influences of course can come into play.

Natural gas daily chart, June 14, 2018

The natural gas markets rallied significantly during the trading session on Wednesday, reaching towards the area above that as it is a bit of a magnet, but I think that it is going to continue to be an area that people will pay attention to. I think that if we do break above the $3.00 level, we can go to the $3.10 level after that, but I think it’s only a matter of time before we show signs of exhaustion. No signs of exhaustion could be nice selling opportunities, as I believe that longer-term we need to keep in mind that the natural gas markets have more than enough supply.

The $2.90 level underneath is support and has been the scene of significant buying pressure. However, if we break down below that level I think that the market should then go to the $2.85 level after that which of course is massive support. I think that if we break down below there, the market could then go to the $2.80 level after that. I expect to see a lot of volatility regardless, and I think at this point it’s very likely that we will continue to see significant noisy moves, and I think that the prudent trader will keep their position size small, perhaps using the CFD markets. The futures markets will probably be far to drinkers to be involved in. Overall, I think that you should be quick to take profits as well as we continue to see a back-and-forth market.
