Natural gas markets continue to grind during the week, going back and forth between a couple of levels. We are at extraordinarily low pricing at this point though, so it’s very likely that we need to see some type of bounce to start selling. As far as buying is concerned, I would be a bit hesitant to do so, because of the fact that there is so much in the way of supply.

Natural gas markets went back and forth during the week, dancing around between the $2.50 level on the bottom and the $2.75 level above. This is a market that continues to go back and forth, as we are trying to decide what to do with his massive support level. If we can break above the $2.75 level, that’s a very bullish sign but we would probably be best served to sell at higher levels, such as the $3.00 level overhead.

If we do break down below the $2.50 level, that would be extraordinarily bearish, but I think at this point we are getting oversold, so it’s very likely that a bounce is necessary. If you are patient enough, you should have an opportunity to sell natural gas from higher levels, something that has worked more than once. I think the $3.00 level is the beginning of massive resistance, but I also see it at the $3.15 level as well. Longer-term trading continues to be decidedly negative, but at this point you have missed the trade as far as shorting for the big money is concerned. Longer-term traders will be a bit hesitant to put money into the market unless there is some type of room to move. Right now, it does look like we have a lot of real estate.
