Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts

Natural Gas

Natural Gas 210126 Daily Chart

Natural gas soared as cold weather forecasts triggered a massive short squeeze. Currently, natural gas is trying to settle above the resistance at $4.95 – $5.00.

In case this attempt is successful, natural gas will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the $5.25 – $5.30 range.

WTI Oil

WTI Oil 210126 Daily Chart

WTI oil gains ground as traders react to the temporary shutdown of two oil fields in Kazakhstan.

A successful test of the resistance at $60.00 – $60.50 will open the way to the test of the $62.50 level. RSI is in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.

Brent Oil

Brent oil is moving higher as traders focus on supply risks. From a big picture point of view, rising geopolitical tensions continue to provide support to oil markets.

If Brent oil stays above the $65.00 level, it will head towards recent highs near the $67.00 level.
