Natural Gas Daily Technical Outlook

Nymex Natural Gas (NG)

Intraday bias in Natural gas remains neutral as sideway consolidation continues. With 5.850 minor resistance intact, another fall cannot be ruled out. Below 5.354 will bring deeper pull back towards 61.8% retracement of 4.157 to 6.108 at 4.902. On the upside, break of 5.850 minor resistance will indicate that pull back from 6.108 has completed and will flip intraday bias back to the upside for a retest on 6.108 resistance.

In the bigger picture, medium term fall from 13.69 is treated as part of the long term consolidation pattern that started at 15.78 back in 2005 and might have completed at 2.409 already. Rise from 2.409 is still in progress and should target 38.2% retracement of 13.694 to 2.409 at 6.72 and beyond. On the downside, break of 4.157 support is needed to indicate that medium term rise from 2.409 has completed. Otherwise, outlook is neutral at worst even in case of deep pullback.
