💥 Natural Gas Gas Gas 📈Do I have to recap the current geopolitics for you? Germany is navigating to its black-out because the gas supply from Russia is being capped (stupid German politicians but okay). Because of the lack of nuclear energy, the Europeans will have a certain electricity problem - at least Germany in the coming winter. So, they will import US natural gas on a large scale.
That's the story in a nutshell. The FED and ECB have bloated the circulating money so that some inflation will play its part too.
Looking at the technicals:
We are about to break this triangle formation to the upside. If this breakout gets confirmed, I'm expecting perhaps a re-test of the trendline or breakout level and then a further upward move.
According to the seasonality of the last ten years, Natural Gas has the first spike at the end of April , after this a little bit higher after the middle of May before dropping hard at the beginning of June .
Honestly, I don't know if the seasonality in these global circumstances plays a dominant role. It depends on how strong the inflation kicks in. So I'll decide later if I exit my position in May or if I hodl until October/November.
No investment advice - just my 2 cents on this topic. ;)

➡Ready for the following corn level? 💥I'm still invested with the rest of my original position long in corn, but I'm ready to scale out completely. But just now, I've noticed that the highs and lows from yesterday and today COULD form a beautiful symmetric triangle. So in this uptrend, this could be a chart pattern that indicates a continuation of the existing trend in corn.
