Natural Gas Price Forecast – Natural Gas Markets Get Hit Hard

Natural gas markets have broken down significantly during the trading session on Monday to reach down towards the $1.60 level. There is a massive amount of support between the $1.60 level and the $1.50 level, so I think at the first signs of a bounce there will be plenty of buyers the jump in and try to push this market to the upside. The $1.50 level has been extraordinarily supportive over the longer term, and therefore I think it continues to be an area where the buyers will step in.

As we start to see the market get closer to that area, there will be a lot of people looking to get involved. The 50 day EMA is near the $1.76 area, and I think that will be the first thing that we go looking towards. If we can break above there, then the market is likely to go above the $1.80 level. Above there, the market is likely to go looking towards the $2.00 level, and therefore I think it is only likely that there would be a lot of sellers in that area due to the 200 day EMA.

As I said a few sessions ago, I believe that we are going to continue to go back and forth between the $1.50 level and the $2.00 level. As we are closer to the bottom, it is likely that we are looking for the value hunters to get in and start picking this backup. Furthermore, there are a lot of bankruptcies out there hitting the industry so supply should continue to slow down over the longer term.
