Natural Gas: 1.618 Confluence Support Zone Has Held Natural Gas was trading at this Log/Linear 1.618 Confluence Zone for a while and even confirmed a 3 white soldiers pattern from the zone, but has since been very quiet. However, it's recently begun to bring us somewhat of a bounce and has confirmed a couple of higher lows with some hidden Bullish Divergence on the MACD after holding above the Bullish Control Zone on the RSI and now it's looking to make some higher highs and could take back the entire range.
It should also be noted that this 1.618 confluence zone is at the PCZ of a 1.13 Bullish Shark.
Renewable energy – a requisite tool for tackling climate change"The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles." – Oren Harari
In the year 1900, the world had a simple energy mix. One half of total energy supply came from coal and the other came from biomass. Gas, oil, and hydropower existed but paled in comparison. Fast forward 121 years, by 2021, things had changed in two key aspects. First, oil and gas had come head-to-head with coal to collectively account for nearly 77% of the energy mix. And second, total energy consumption had increased 14x1.
This drastic increase in our energy consumption, and demand mostly satiated by fossil fuels, has created a problem. It has left us with a carbon budget of 380 gigatons of CO2 equivalent from the start of 2023. In other words, we could hit 1.5°C of warming in 9 years2.
That is, unless things change meaningfully. Not continuous improvement, but radical change. Like shunning fossil fuels for cleaner alternatives. Not only is this essential but, luckily, it is now achievable thanks to the advancement of renewable energy.
At the heart of the energy transition
Consider the gap between the base case (dark blue line in the chart below) in Figure 1 and the path we must adopt in the 1.5°C scenario (teal line). The teal scenario appears to be possible by doing a combination of two things. Where decarbonisation of power and transportation is possible, it must be done. Where it isn’t, say heavy industries like steel and cement, carbon capture must be employed. Scaling up renewable sources of energy, therefore, is at the heart of this endeavour.
A more efficient alternative
Historically, our total energy consumption has only moved in one direction – upwards. While population growth and advancement in industrialisation and technology are the prime reasons for this, another contributing factor is that energy efficiency has seldom been achieved on a large scale. But with the rapid electrification of transport and buildings, efficiency gains vs using fossil fuels could result in total end-use demand for energy peaking by 2028 and, potentially, declining thereafter (in a 1.5°C scenario).
Wind and solar have arrived
Among renewables, wind and solar are expected to play the leading role (see Figure 3). There are numerous reasons for this. First, both technologies have been around long enough to see significant cost reductions in recent years. According to a Bloomberg New Energy Finance report published in June 2022, new onshore wind now costs about $46 per megawatt-hour (MWh), while large-scale solar plants cost $45 per megawatt-hour. In comparison, new coal-fired plants cost $74 per MWh, while gas plants cost $81 per MWh.
Second, most places in the world have access to either wind or sunshine (if not both). The only challenge that needs to be overcome, therefore, is obtaining the necessary funding required to install renewable energy farms.
And third, wind and solar are seeing some exciting innovations. Consider floating offshore wind as an example. Floating offshore wind power has several benefits as a source of renewable energy. First, floating wind turbines can be deployed in deeper waters where traditional fixed-bottom turbines cannot reach. This allows for greater access to stronger and more consistent wind resources, which can generate more electricity at a lower cost. Additionally, floating offshore wind turbines are less visible from shore and have a smaller environmental footprint compared to onshore and fixed-bottom offshore wind farms. Furthermore, floating offshore wind farms have the potential to be located closer to population centres, reducing transmission costs, and improving energy security. Lastly, because they are not limited by the ocean floor, floating wind turbines can be moved to different locations if needed, making them a more flexible option for renewable energy production.
Wind and solar can be complemented by emerging sources of renewable energy like hydrogen. Green hydrogen, which is produced through the renewable electrolysis of water, that is, passing a current of renewable electricity through water, has the potential to help decarbonise both heavy-duty transport like trucks, ships, trains, and airplanes, and energy-intensive industries like steel and coal. As the production of green hydrogen achieves scale, cost-reductions will foster further growth.
The pathway forward
Renewable energy can help the energy sector deliver net zero with the aid of the following:
1. Effective policy design - regulatory, commercial, and technical barriers to entry be removed.
2. Capital - by 2050, US$47 trillion is required to deliver the generation and infrastructure of a net zero energy system3.
3. Technology – wind and solar will need to be supported by emerging technologies like hydrogen and carbon capture.
4. System flexibility – innovative ways of energy storage and distribution will need to support renewable energy.
5. Sustainability – recycling will need to be scaled up to ensure we efficiently utilise natural resources.
Renewable energy is being fuelled by political will, technological progress, and investor interest. It is an exciting time to employ this tool in our fight against climate change.

#NatGas #NG1! Update Natural Gas has followed my previous outlook by posting what seems to be a simple zigzag with ending diagonal in its final stages. From here we can expect a new wave up. Alternatively this correction can be complicated into ABC flat or WXY double zigzag. But tradingwise there is no reason to expect such further complication at this moment. I also expect oil rallying sharply and SP500 declining. May be we will see some hawkish remarks / developments sowing instability that sends energy prices up and stocks down. Speculation, of course. Not advice.
NatGas UpdateI believe the leading diagonal wave (a) has ended, and we are now in wave (b), which can take various forms (including the possibility that it has already ended). I suggested a few possible paths.
Once there is a pattern or a mature wave count in wave (b), I can make an assumption when exactly the next leg up will occur.
NATURAL GAS Buy signal unless this Higher Lows line breaks.Natural Gas (NG1!) is trading inside a Bullish Megaphone that has just priced its new Higher Low. The price is above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and has started the new leg to a Higher High. Before that however, it has several Resistance levels to overcome, namely the 2.690 Resistance and before that the Lower Highs trend-line. As a result we are buyers but set a target below that level at 2.550. If instead the price closes a 1D candle below the bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) of the Megaphone, we will sell and target the 1.950 Support.
It is worth mentioning the 1D RSI that has been trading on Higher Lows since February 03, an early Bullish Divergence signal against the downtrend's Lower Lows for the price. This momentum continues to favor buying on the medium-term.

NATGAS BOIL NG Bottoming formation.Natural gas has been basing for a few months now in what has become a very recognizable Wyckoff accumulation pattern. Complete with high volume on the start to low volume towards the end. Breakouts occur on LOW VOLUME in accumulation phases so don't look for volume to give a clue. Just like the AMEX:SPY and NASDAQ:QQQ markets did at the October bottoms. Remember everyone saying how low the volume was? Yes, same here. We also see a very recognizable MEGAPHONE BOTTOM specifically on BOIL. This is regarded as a bullish signal showing that the existing downtrend may reverse to start a new UPTREND. Further, we see evidence in arcs of a possible bottom. EW counts also suggest the bottom is in for now.
XOM OUTLOOK 06/05 -06/09After finishing March and April strong and making all time highs at 119.92, NYSE:XOM pulled back in May to a key support level around 102. With $CL_F setting up for a bullish week, and the Saudis plan to cut their OPEC+ oil supply by 1 million barrels per day, we could see gas prices rise and a potential buying opportunity in $XOM.
Technical Analysis:
NYSE:XOM tested a breakdown of the macro channel we’ve been watching, but was able to reclaim the support during Friday’s session. As long as we respect this channel, I can see us continuing higher. We also have a dirty inverted head and shoulders with the daily 102.33 level as the neckline.
Bulls will want to hold above 106.26, reclaim the 200 day moving average and break above the weekly level at 107.90. My lean is bullish, and will look at the 50% short retrace at 110.59 as a potential price target this week.
Bears will want to see price action below 102.33.
Upside Targets: 106.26 → 107.55 → 107.90 → 109.58 → 109.61 Extended: 110.59
Downside Targets: 105.00 → 103.32 → 102.33 → 101.26 → 99.18 Extended: 97.02

Tick Tock for FLNGLooks like the bet on margins for natural gas related activities are on the blink as gas futures have reset to below pre-pandemic levels.
Having one of my best trades of the past two years (without options) in the books, I'm taking profit and going on the options train.
Looking for a strategy that places the max loss above 38. and break even at around 27. I assume that this may take 12 months to play out because:
Europe may have proven to the world that they can handle the new gas flows away from Russia.
This means that pressures on emerging markets to buy gas at lower prices are going to ease considerably in the next 12 months.
I'm also placing a 6-to-9-month buffer to allow the Wyckoff distribution pattern to play out. The options strategy I'll pick will put this info into consideration in addition to the risk that the price remains elevated.
I'll update the strategy below as soon as I work out the numbers, (premiums, decay rates, target profits, expiry dates etc). This is just the first step to identifying a potential trade options idea so bear with me. If you have recommendations for strategies, comment below. If possible, please highlight the numbers.
Natural Gas Critical LevelsNatural gas, which fell sharply from $ 6.5 to $2 is trying to recover again.
During this process, critical levels were determined. These levels appear at $2.10, $3.50 and $5.50.
As long as it does not fall below the $2.10 level, I can say that the $3.50 targeted buying opportunity in natural gas continues.
Where is NATTY going next?Huge sell of occurred after breaking it's previous support, turned resistance.
I'd be looking to buy of the resistance @ around 2.050 with the aim of it reaching the broken support.
If it finds resistance there then we might see a H&S pattern emerge which could be severely bloody.
With recession peaking over the corner, this could well play out.
Just my thoughts, not trading advice . Trade at your own risk. NATTY can be expensive .
Will WTI follow Natty into the basement? Is WTI going to suffer the same fate as Natural Gas ? Endearingly referred to as Natty ? Well the good ship Natty got REKT last week. The long side which was overcrowded, overleveraged caught the "to da moon" bagholders off guard . Stunned whilst spitting out the kool aid they were seen gasping for air when the dead cat bounce rocked the boat ., Natty was batterred and was last seen heading into shallow water dangerously close to the rocks . Choppy water ahead alert the marine units.
The setup on CL very same chart right before the dump so spread out grab your umbrellas !!!
The trade : Let price action have the final say on your entry get the best price you can very important! Patience pays when shorting! Monday may get some purchasing for the week early on so shorts may get pinched a bit before any ride either way. Wednesday the EIA inventory numbers are relesed at 10:30 EST. OPEC meeting also this week I believe so expect volatility. Sell 83.60 & higher use stops longer time frames target 59.50 might be best move of the year if it goes. Record or near record inventory build over the last month so stay tuned! Not a trade recommendation or a reccomendation to buy or sell securites of any kind.
NATURAL GAS POSSIBLE RALLYNatural gas is increasing in value due to several factors: the unprecedented wildfires in Canada that are ravaging the country and are disrupting the production throughout the province of Alberta; Reuters also reports that Russian pipeline exports had declined 11.4% this month compared to April’s average, putting an additional hold to the fuel supply.
The RSI is above 50. The MACD had broken above its zero level and had triggered signal for further potential gains.
If the current trend continues, the price might test resistance levels of 2.764, and if it gets broken, further target might be 2.931.
In the opposite scenario, the price might test its previous resistance at 2.025.
