Natural gas tests new highs as the strong rally continues. Extreme heat in Texas provides material support to natural gas prices.

The nearest resistance level for natural gas is located in the $2.80 – $2.85 range. A move above the $2.85 level will push natural gas towards the resistance at $3.02 – $3.09.

WTI Oil

WTI oil remains stuck below the $80.00 level as traders focus on the situation in the Middle East. Iranian President Raisi died in helicopter crash, but this event did not provide support to oil markets as traders bet that Iran would not blame outside forces.

The technical picture remains unchanged as WTI oil did not manage to settle above the key $80.00 level.

Brent Oil
