BOIL
NatGas - No Moon Until DoomIn mid June, I had made a call that Natural Gas was about to rally, because price action and timing supported a move upwards.
Natural Gas - The Girl Who Hopes You Remember Her
But that call became abandoned as I enlightened and improved further, and began to note that rallies were sold off and lows kept being taken.
The trade degenerated into looking at a sweep over $3 and then a sweep over $2.9, and turned into abandonment.
Before we go far, I want to tell you that you need to keep your eyes on the situation with China.
The first thing you notice is that the propaganda machine and politicians are rarely going after "the Chinese Communist Party" but are always going after "China."
This is very strange. China is the world's only 5,000 year country and holds the largest population.
If you think about it even a little bit, the CCP would be so easy to topple, wouldn't it?
Considering the Party has killed a magnitude more of its own people in its century of murder than Hitler did among all races during his years of insanity.
And the CCP and former Chairman Jiang Zemin have the 24-year persecution and organ harvesting genocide against the Falun Dafa spiritual practice hanging over their head like the blade of a guillotine.
You have to keep this in mind and go study it. A really crucial part of the puzzle is that Xi Jinping, for all the criticism and targeting he gets/deserves, has never persecuted Falun Gong.
Instead, Xi's Anti-Corruption Campaign has been killing and ruining the Jiang Faction minions who have conducted and operated the persecution.
Xi has even protected Falun Gong in Hong Kong after fortifying his rule there with the National Security Law following the 2019 Heaven Will Eliminate the CCP protests.
All of this matters very much to the fossil fuels industry because there's a relationship between China and Russia, both in terms of production and demand, that changes greatly if something like the Ukraine War ends or drama over Taiwan suddenly enters nuclear brinkmanship.
Looking at current monthly bars, Natural Gas shows some kind of "Bear Flag."
What you're seeing, really, is an extended consolidation. This is actually potentially really bullish, to the upside, but we need price action to confirm it's time to go.
Unfortunately, July did not show us this.
The sweep of the $2 point and the lows in April was not enough to springboard the move, and that's really telling.
While many may tell you that natural gas is obviously going to a zero-handle, a look at the yearly bars shows such a thesis really does not make sense.
To the contrary, the 2020 pivot should, actually, hold. A classic super long term breakout and retrace.
Moreover, $10 was printed for literally one day in 2022, and that's very strange.
The problem with the moon turning full right now, is shown on 3 month candles, where this current little red blip only has one month left.
This is not a bullish continuation. It's important, in a bullish scenario, to see volume come in and price action to correspondingly reflect that producers want to sell at higher prices and will orca the waves for us normal people.
Moreover, in terms of the overall markets, as I post in this week's SPX call, we may be watching the equities/indexes bear market rally top for real.
SPX - The Sound of a Shattering Iceberg
As for what might be the news driver that harbingers the correction, it may very well be one of the 10 largest banks in America dumping for whatever reason emerges (watch out for commercial real estate):
Charles Schwab - The Harbinger Of The Next Crisis?
I also posted last week that it seems to me oil is about to head for a literal 3-handle.
Oil - A New Long Leg Down Soon Begins
And because we have problems with "Taiwan," which is to say the International Rules Based Order's desire to take over China via Taiwan while the Chinese Communist Party falls, I also believe that Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is set up as a probable long hedge through to the end of the year and into 2024:
TSM - Taiwan, Your Semiconductor Long Hedge
Now, in terms of natural gas ranging like it has, sharply dumping, and then beginning a new and major bull impulse, this is not without grounds, for this would be a fractal of the 2020 COVID dump-to-recovery play that saw a doubling into year end:
If this were to play out, we'd see something like $1.60 natural gas into $4.8 by the end of the year or Q1 2024.
After that, we may really see prices that exceed $10 and begin to flirt with all time highs at $15.
The fundamental factors that would cause a 10 bagger on a commodity that literally equates to most of the world's electricity production are fairly significant.
Especially considering "climate change" (lol "climate boiling") is attempting to be used as the pretext/excuse to export the Jiang-CCP Zero COVID social credit system worldwide in a way that far exceeds what was done during the pandemic.
And so for the call, I would say the "short signal" with the markets hanging out in thin air at present, while we're about to begin a new quarterly shift, is a break of the $2.4 level.
You'd want to short that break with a target meaningfully under $1.8 and then cover it without getting greedy.
At that point, it's time to look for longs, and if you're a long term position trader, this may be one of the best opportunities you'll come across.
But it may not really unfold until next year. And this assumes that my analysis is correct.
Right now, daily price action is just showing failure swings, but nobody has stepped in yet to give it the push down the stairs it really needs.
BOIL rises into reversal territory SHORTBOIL as a triple leveraged ETF of natural gas futures- has high volatility
which can translated to high profits for traders who can accurately harness
that energy .On the 2H chart in the time since the reverse split, the price has mostly
ranged up and down between the first upper and lower VWAP lines of the
VWAP anchored to the high in May. Occasionally it has ranged outside those bounds
and then reverts to the mean VWAP. Price is presently at or near the first upper
derivation line where it typically pivots down. The zero lag MACD is suggestive
of an impending pivot down before any signs of it and thus showing bearish divergence.
The mass index is not yet suggesting a reversal. The shorter HMA 56 rising significantly
above the HMA210 is suggestive of overextension into the overbought overvalued
zones of the chart.
Overall, I will put BOIL on watch.
Once a reversal is confirmed I will either short BOIL or long KOLD. Leveraged funds being
what they are and mathematics fixed and hard, shorting a levearged ETF is a faster fall
than its rise so the short position will be my first choice.
BOIL (3X Natural Gas ) Overnight Trade RecapAs a triple leveraged ETF BOIL is highly volatility and typically has a good range
even if the overall price changes only a small amount from one day to the next.
While these overnight day trades are typically conducted on the 3 or 5 minute time
frame, here a 15- minute chart is shown. Because BOIL is tracking natural gas
futures and the futures markets are around the clock , BOIL often has movement
after-hours and in the pre-market while futures markets are active.
In this example, the chart is dressed with double Bollinger band setup with
deviations of 1.618 and 2 618 which are Fibonacci numbers. Relative volatility
and relative volumes are indicated as well to be better attentive to reversals
or trending amplitudes.
In this example at about 12N on yesterday 7/24, price dropped out of the bands
volume and volatility went red to green and the candlesticks formed a morning
star pattern. This is the entry. The stop loss is placed just below the lowest bottoming
wick in the pattern. Today, in the premarket, when the price rose to outside the upper
trade zone and green bars on the volatility and volume indicators fell quickly, the
trade was closed for a realized profit of 4.7%. About 90 minutes later, another
long trade was set up for a more than 4% five hour day trade.
Rinse and repeat DYODD !
BOIL ( 3x Nat Gas ETF) Reverses to UpsideOn shown on the 15 minute chart with a VWAP band/line setup anchored to the July 1st
pivot high. BOIL is in a VWAP breakout since bottoming mid-day July 17th. Confirming
the reversal are the Price Volume Trend Oscillator printing a green histogram and an
upgoing signal line as well as the zero-lag MACD with upgoing parallel lines crossing
the zero-horizontal line. Price has crossed over the mean VWAP. On the dual time frame
RSI indicator both the lower and higher RS lines ( blue and black) are above the 50 level
and the lower time frame is higher highlighting bullish momentum.
I will take a long trade targeting based on the VWAP lines first $65 and then $68. I will open
equal amounts of call options striking the targets with expirations on July 28th. I seek a
100% ROI in the next 6-8 trading days. On an intraday basis, I may enter a low DTE call option
at the low of day ( typically mid-morning) and exit at the high of day the same or next day.
Natural Gas - The Girl Who Hopes You Remember HerSince the end of February, and more accurately mid-March, the volatility on Natural Gas has all but disappeared.
This is a good thing if you're bullish, because it's both consolidation and indicates accumulation.
It's also a good thing from a sentiment/narrative perspective because everyone has all but forgotten trying to gamble on BOIL.
Moreover, it's strange for Natural Gas to trade so cheaply in light of the situation with the conflict between NATO and Vladimir Putin and how it impacts both China and Xi Jinping and Europe.
I've said in many of my previous natural gas calls that $10 wasn't the top. And if that supposition is true, the fact that we're trading at such an enormous discount for so long is really notable.
Just look how big the discount is on the monthly:
One of the core tenants of 2023's thus far price action being a likely bottom is that Natty has swept out the $2 mark twice, the last time in April.
Since, it's then made a series of higher lows and now looks certain to make higher highs.
Moreover, on the weekly we see any red bars are continually traded through to the upside by the MM.
All of this comes while the algorithm has been playing around the December of 2020 monthly pivot.
The fact that $2 has been protected so strictly and that the high of the year was set at only $3, which it touched for only a day, a Friday, to start March tells us that the target is more likely to be up than it is to be down.
It is very hard for me to tell you if Natty is going to do $3.2, $3.5, $4, or $4.5. It may just double top at $3 and then go back to $1.8.
What I can say is that getting over $4 ought to have a high degree of resistance. However, if the algs push it through, it's going to take off and take off in a hurry.
One thing that is true is that you really should not be bearish on energy.
I also believe that the Nasdaq in specific is about to correct so violently that it's going to set a new low.
We may be in a scenario right now where we see something like:
Equities correct
USD up
Energy up
Metals up
10Y yield up
VIX up
Instead of the usual everything down and everything up all at once shenanigans.
The world is running out of energy. Oil is not a bear market.
Worldwide and US production peaked in 2018 and hasn't come back.
A lot of the "oil" that is included in daily production numbers isn't actually crude oil but is "natural gas liquids" and other lesser substances.
In a climate where mankind is using more and more electricity and temperatures are getting hotter and hotter, there is no reason to believe that natural gas should stay this cheap.
How hot will July, August, and September be in North America?
Natural gas _is_ electricity. It's also plastics. It's also what the places that get winter use to fuel their furnaces to stay alive.
Are you really expecting $1.50?
BOIL- Go Long SetupBOIL has had a busy month with the resurgence of natural gas prices and the reverse
split six trading days ago. I analyze it as having further upside. On the 30-minute chart
I have added two anchored VWAPs to the left on separate pivot points. This serves
to make out dynamic support and resistance. Price has crossed over the mean VWAP zone
which is between the heavy black lines. In confluence with that, it has crossed over the
POC line of the volume profile represents the price point with the highest total trading volume
over the visible time interval. Above price are the two targets being one and two standard
deviations above the mean aVWAP. The volume indicator shows increasing relative volume
overall as a sign of accumulation which generally results in price appreciation from
the demand trend. I will set the stop loss at $.10 below the POC line and take a long
position. One third of the position will come off upon each target advancing the stop loss to
above the entry and making the trade risk-free. Another third with TP2 and finally the
The remaining third will run on a trailing stop so I do not spend time micromanaging a smaller
position. I believe that my overall bullish bias will be rewarded yet again over the near term.
