Natural gas markets have fallen again during the trading session on Friday, as we now continue to see a lot of destruction.
Natural gas markets have initially fallen during the trading session on Friday as we continue to see a lot of negativity overall. With that being said, the market continues to see the lack of demand as a major problem, and as long as that’s going to be the case, I just don’t see how natural gas takes off. With this, I think you probably also have a situation where we may go look into the $2.00 level, an area that obviously will attract a lot of attention in general. Whether we break down through there is a completely different question.
On the other hand, if we turn around and rally, the $2.60 level could open up a move toward the 50-Day EMA at the $3.60 level. After that, the $4.00 level would be the target. I don’t like selling all the way down here, but it’s clear that the buyers are just nonexistent at this point. Either way, I think you probably have a lot of noise just waiting to happen, so you need to be cautious but I would prefer to see some type of rally that I can start to fade on signs of exhaustion.
The question of course is if anybody will actually show up to push this market higher? At this point in time, I just don’t have any scenario in which I would be buying natural gas, because clearly nobody else is going to. With that, I look at every rally as a potential selling opportunity in what has been an absolute train wreck of a market. Furthermore, we are starting to head towards warmer temperatures which has a major influence as well.
