The natural gas markets gapped lower to kick off the session on Monday, reaching towards major support below. The natural gas markets of course will continue to struggle though, because quite frankly the oversupply of natural gas will continue to be a major problem.

Natural gas markets gapped lower to kick off the week on Monday, reaching down towards the $2.85 level. I think there is a major support at $2.75 as well, so I think that the downside is probably somewhat limited in the short term. I think at this point, if we show signs of a rally, it should be a nice selling opportunity, as there is plenty of resistance above at the various levels including $3.00 level, the 20 day EMA, and of course the 50 day EMA.

At this point, I think a rally will more than likely produce some type of exhaustive candle that we can start selling, as I think that breaking below the $2.75 level will take plenty of momentum to break down through. I think volatility will continue to be a major issue, as the oversupply of natural gas is going to be a longer-term bearish pressure on this market. At this point, I have no interest in buying natural gas, and I think that if you simply wait for signs of exhaustion after a pop, you should be rewarded. If we were to break down below the $2.75 level, that would be extraordinarily negative, but I think that might be a bit of a stretch at this point. However, if we were to break down below that important level, then I think we go looking towards the $2.50 level after that, which should attract a lot of attention as well. Patience will be rewarded.
