Natural Gas Technical Analysis and Near-Term Outlook
Natural gas briefly rose above the $2.88 target but stalled at $2.887. The subsequent move down has taken out Tuesday’s midpoint and is poised to challenge $2.77. This is the 62 percent retracement of the rise from $2.697. Closing below $2.77 will strongly imply that the corrective move up from $2.697 is complete. Settling below $2.72 will confirm this and clear the way for the next major target at $2.68.
Nevertheless, should natural gas rally above $2.86 early tomorrow look for another attempt at $2.92. This level is still expected to hold. Closing above $2.92 will shift near-term odds in favor of challenging $2.99 and possibly $3.04 again.
