Crude Oil set to Plunge to Historic Lows from Price WarsWith the virus well underway, and the USD still holding up reasonably well (for now), crude will continue its historic plunge to record lows. Sometime by the spring or summer of this year, I see crude being around $20-23 before stabilizing sometime in 2021 (remember: crude this low is NOT a good thing for world equities and stocks). This re-stabilization will likely be off the backs of the DXY decreasing in value, rather than some sort of economic turn-around.
What was once thought to be some sort of multiple-expansion and economic turn-around from the USA-China "truce" has now been completely blown out of the water due to the coronavirus, which will likely slip the entire world into a recession. Normally, this means that OPEC must reduce production in order to meet the reduced supply quota to keep prices somewhat stable. However, due to geopolitical issues, oil-rich countries have decided to gouge each-other with price wars rather than adjust accordingly, which will force crude to plunge to historic lows.
Here's what to expect:
- $20-23 crude for oil in 2020
- Potential flash crashes into the $30.00 range or lower within the coming weeks or months
- US 10 Year yield to hit 0.000 and likely negative in 2020
- US equities (and world equities) to remain significantly under-pressure until the US 10 Year rebounds to at-least 1.000 and crude stabilizes to near $45
What to do:
- Hold mostly cash and/or gold bullion (non-leveraged) and/or stable/low beta equities like utilities and high quality dividend aristocrats (my top picks are Fortis and Franco-Nevada)
- Enjoy lower gas prices, eventually

NeoGas | Is It A Bear Or A Bull? 50/50Let's take a look at the NeoGas (GASBTC) chart.
Here we have strong bullish action happening now but things can easily change... Let's take a closer look.
GASBTC is now in an uptrend and completing a strong retrace.
After the peak on 16-Feb., prices dropped below EMA300 until they hit 0.0001681 or EMA50. As soon as EMA50 was hit, a strong bounce started to take place. (EMA50 also coincides with the 0.618 Fib. retracement support for the last bullish wave, adding additional value/strength to this price level).
MA200 has already been conquered (bullish)...
On this setup, prices can easily continue growing and multiple signals are now pointing to just that, additional growth.
EMA300 at 0.0001940 is our main indicator right now...
Above this level, GASBTC can easily continue growing.
Below this level it can continue to retrace.
The orange trendline can also be used/counted for support.
This is not financial advice.
Remember to always have a trading plan/strategy if you decide to trade.
Remember to hit like if you would like to send us some LOVE!
Namaste.

Natural Gas (NATGASUSD): Bullish Forecast
natgas has surely broken a strong horizontal resistance to the upside.
I believe that the price may now retrace a bit and then the bullish tendency will proceed
with potential continuation to 2.08 level - next structure resistance.
trading against the trend, control your risk with tight stops!
good luck!

Volume Indicator, Gas Starts To Fly (100%+ Mapped)GASBTC is starting to fly and we have really good volume coming in... Let's take a quick look at the volume indicator.
We usually mention volume as a very important signal/indicator when it comes to TA. Any move that happens we always look for volume for confirmation.
Good volume is good for the bulls we always read/say.
Recently the market cycle changed from bearish to bullish, and we are seeing strong bullish action on low volume in some/many cases... This isn't a bearish signal anymore since we are in a bullish cycle, it is more of a "continuation" signal.
So if you see a bottomed out altcoin producing a low volume break above EMA10 and EMA50, instead of seeing this as a bearish signal telling you that prices can quickly reverse because there is no volume support, instead we see it as just the beginning since prices are moving higher and the trading volume is yet to come.
When we looked at GASBTC, we can find a good example of what I just wrote.
There was no big volume when breaking above EMA10 or EMA50 (just the beginning), but prices kept on moving higher and there is big volume now to challenge EMA200 and for GAS to continue going up.
Yes! We continue to look at trading volume for confirmation, but this can be better used now when it is time for a drop. If prices drop on low volume, you can take it as a signal of a retrace that won't go for long. But if prices drop on big/above-average bear/red volume, then you can take it as confirmation that prices will likely continue to drop.
That's the volume indicator based on my experience after years of looking at these charts.
Namaste.

The project covers 5 thousand square kilometers and could generate 80 trillion cubic feet of gas. It’s one of the most significant discoveries of natural gas, which strengthens the UAE’s position among the countries with the most extensive stocks of natural gas in the world. Moreover, the state aims to achieve self-sufficiency with the development strategy prepared for the next fifty years.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi signed a strategic cooperation agreement between Abu Dhabi National Oil company “ADNOC” and “Dubai Supply Authority.”
According to the agreement, ADNOC will invest and harness technology and expertise to develop and produce discovered gas resources. In addition to conducting new surveys and exploration in the region to assess more gas resources. And perform a final study of the cost of its production. Therefore, under the partnership between the two sides, the Dubai Supply Authority will receive produced gas from ADNOC.
