NATURAL GAS...BURN BABY BURN!Nat gas continues to show some short term weakness.
Its now shaping up based off an RSI divergence that Nat gas could make new lows.
The fact that we had a bearish crossover of the 7 MA & 20 MA is never a good sign.
Sellers clearly took control over price and forced it back below the neckline.
The 100% downside move of the head & shoulders that triggered over a year ago is about $0.70
KOLD
BOIL: Set for a Potential Bullish Reversal at Bullish Shark PCZNatural Gas on an intra-week basis seems to be in a position to Bullishly Reverse as it sits at the PCZ of a potential Bullish Shark with slight Bullish Divergence near the previous month's low. My target will be anywhere between $16 and $20 though it could always go higher.
Natural Gas going lower? How about Oil?Natural gas has started the week off on a bad note.
Nat gas has lost the key weekly volume gap fill at $1.8622
This was the line in the sand that the bulls needed to maintain.
The fact that Natural GAs has lost the key supply zone shapes up for a likely bearish move lower. We are holding the 20 Day MA so Bull have one last hope at this level. Hope typically isnt a good strategy.
Based off of the RSI divergence, Nat gas may make new lows in the cycle before it has a bullish reversal.
Oil today was weak early on and then made a massive red to green reversal. We have observed every time oil dips into the daily EMA 113, it keeps getting gobbled up.
A bull flag on the daily chart is still being observed. XLE keeps moving higher as it sniffing out higher oil prices.
Oil for the month of February has higher prices compared to the month of January, this should put a higher bid on the CPI energy component tomorrow.
Natural Gas & Oil : is energy breaking out!Natural gas got a positive weekly close. this close sets up a potential short squeeze to $2 & $2.25 as long as we stay above the hourly chart neckline.
Oil has just made it highest weekly close in 18 weeks. Oil has now broken out to the upside and this could be very detrimental to consumers and the inflation fight.
If oil holds above $80 it's going to try to push for $84 and $90.
BOIL- Premarket Long Trade Scalp RecapsBOIL is here on the 15- minute chart with a set of Bollinger Bands, a Bollinger Band Oscillator by
LuxAlgo as well as a dual-time frame RSI indicator by Chris Moody. The settings for the Bollinger
Band set up are period 49 EMA 14 standard deviations 2 /2.618 ( These are multiples of 7 and
Fib #s for mathematical reasons.
Entries are signal is price crossing the base line of the Bollinger Bands ( the EMA 14) or else
the RSI lines crossing over the 50 level and green above red.
Exits are the price action going outside the outer upper BB band and then fading back inside
of both inner and outer bands or RSI green and red crossing such that green fades quicker than
red. Entries and exits are managed with alerts/notifications to minimize screen time.
The first trade began on 2/27 at 8:10 AM ended 2hours later. 50 shares taken gained $ 1.50 each
for a total of $75.00 realized profit in the long scalp. The second trade on 2/28 was
taken in the premarket at 6:45 AM EST with again 50 shares taken then closed at 9:15 AM
for a 150 minute trade. Realized profit was $1.20 per share and $60 overall.
Overall, there were 4.5 hours in the trades yielding $135.00 or $30 hr for the time in the trade.
Risk was minimal as trades were taken at the lows with a stop loss outside the BB and below
them. Time spent on the screen amounted to less than 30 minutes overall making the
realized profit excellent for the time and effort expended. This idea illustrates good use
of a Bollinger Band strategy coupled with alerts and notifications. Notably, I did not spend
any effor adjusting the stop losses during the trade as I am very confident of the setup and
the strategy. Today is another day for the same trade.
KOLD Natural Gas Pivots Again LONGKOLD on the 15 minute chart has reversed and swung upside. The the anchored VWAP price
dropped through the mean VWAP and is now in the deep undervalued territory of the second
lower VWAP band line. This is an oversold zone for buying. On the chart, a green arrow is a buy
while a red arrow is a sell. New share buys are funded with profits from BOIL positions
now closed. Relative volatility and volume indicators support the analysis.
I will add further to the position whenever there is an entry provided by a correction found
on a lower time frame of 3-10 minutes.
BOIL 3X / Triple Leveraged Natural Gas ETFon the 4H chart is showing a round bottom reversal at the bottom of the high voume area
and rose over the POC line of the intermediate-term voume profile. Price now has room for
a 50% move to the top of the high volume area at $ 52. The chart shows the relative
volume indicator supports a long buy as does the dual time frame RSI.
A speculative call option trade would be $60 in 4 months while a safer call option
would be in the money @ $30 in 7-9 weeks. I am also looking at UNG, LNG and XNGUSD on
forex.
BOIL is starting to get hot ( 3X Natural Gas ETF)as shown on the 15 minute chart is rising in an ascending parallel channel and is suitable
for a long buy entry when the indicators are triggered. The onslaught of winter cold, the
sanctions against Russian gas exports and inflationary pressure on commodities all bode well
for the trend up for natural gas on forex and equities markets. See also my idea linked below
for a view of the chart from the 4H time frame.
BOIL ( Natural Gas Futures 3X leveraged) heats up LONGBOIL in the past month fell from a head and shoulders pattern on the 15 minute time frame
into a trend down which leveled out into a double bottom. Supply is in a draw
down right now as might be expected when gas production is diminished in the middle of winter
while demand is rising. The Economics 101 expectation is rising prices on the futures market.
The chart shows a Fibonacci retracement would take price from its current level to about 29
or about 20% upside if that level holds and more if prices can make a stronger more or
if short positions or puts are forced to closed causing some buying pressure synergy.
The RSI indicator confirms the reversal at the double bottom and adds a bit of insurance
to the risk. Accordingly, I am expecting a 20% in the next 2-3 weeks. Target for 2/3 of
the position is 29 while the other 1/3 ( short squeeze scenario) to run to a target of 33
which is the neckline of the H & S pattern. Taking a look at OTM call options striking
$ 30-31 range. Additionally, I will watch the AI algo indicator for a Sell Signal and reassess the
position at that time given its 90% accuracy at this given time frame as evidenced by
a 2000 candle backtest ( or about 500 hours or 82 trading days). Energy may not be the hottest
sector right now but nor is it the coldest.

Natural Gas, Uranium & NvidiaNatural gas has made an epic 2 day rally off the 52 week lows.
Looks like the Covid support zone is holding & we can move higher off of tight consolidation.
Uranium is into some minor daily chart support, a bounce is likely off the EMA 113.
Nvidia reported earnings and had a double beat. This stock was up over 10% in the after-hours. Completely saving and rallying the Nasdaq. Semis will be hot tomorrow, the question is, do they hold their gains?

BOIL vs KOLD Natural Gas Leveraged ETFs : LONG KOLDThe KOLD / Boil Ratio is shown here on a daily char. A rising ratio level indicates KOLD is rising
and BOIL is falling making the ratio rather extreme If KOLD rises 10% in a week and so BOIL falls,
in a hypothetical say they start out 140 and 20 respectively and KOLD goes to 154 while KOLD falls to 18 the ratio moves from 7 to 154/18 = 8.55 the ratio moves 22% for the week.
What does this all mean ?
With triple leveraging and management fees taken out long leveraged ETF shares may experience time decay on a daily basis. Share values are net after expenses.
From the chart's visible the only time the ratio fell and BOIL was the long play was
September 25,'23 to November 15, '23 and December 14, '23 to January 14, '24.
In 2023 prior to late September KOLD was always the long play, In 2024, after January 15
and to the present KOLD is the long play and the ratio is accelerating and getting more
volatile as it is potentially getting over-extended. Combined volume in the range of 20 M /day
is 2X showing great interest by market participants.
I conclude especially since natural gas spot prices are falling as recession fears are not yet in the past, that KOLD is the leveraged gas futures ETF to take long. This trader considers the
management fees as a cost of business. The futures are stratified and leveraged obivously
the cost brings value.
I will take shares of KOLD and take a call or two along the way for an expiration in the fall
whenever price rises about an even $5.00 amount to be assured of the lowest price.
I will follow KOLD on a 60-90 minute chart looking for topping wicks or a price fall under
the EMA 7 as a sign that it should be on watch for a market top. Frankly, I do not expect to see it. This is because on the 2-time frame RSI indicator ( by Chris Moody) with the 4H in green
and the 1W in red, both lines are rising and in a healthy 75 +/- range. If they top out and fall, then I again think I might be seeing bullish divergence and put the trade on watch.
For those who trade VWAP bands and volume profile, the ratio has been in an obvious breakout since early November with a pullback in mid-December after the ratio rose outside the third upper VWAP band. Using the VWAP bands and the volume profile will make any fades very obvious most especially on lower time frames.
Natural Gas back at Covid lows!The widow maker continues to bleed lower and squeeze longs.
This is the exact opposite of a short squeeze. We're going through a long squeeze.
This commodity is at extreme low levels. Covid low levels when the GDP was contracting.
I believe an epic bounce will arise, but this has a history of extreme price action.
Natural Gas resource stocks are making bullish reversals, usually a good sign of a near bottom.

BOIL reverses from a quick downtrend LONGBOIL on may 9th went into hard resistance in the highest VWAP line area, the Hull moving
averages did a death cross and it fell 12% into the support of the first upper standard
deviation line where it double bottomed with a reversal. The ZL MACD shows lines and
trends that are confirmatory. As a result, I have closed my short trade from my prior
idea and revested the capital gained into a long position of stock and calls. If you
are interested in knowing targets or stop losses, please leave a comment.
THREE WORDS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. NATTY GOES CRAZYNatty is a slang term for 'natural gas' or natural gas futures. Natural gas is among the most-volatile commodities, especially in contracts for prompt delivery.
A big reason why is the demand for natural gas varies considerably based on the weather as it's primarily a heating fuel; though it's increasingly used in electricity production and that can also make it subject to swings on hot summer weather due to air conditioning demand. Increasingly, LNG demand also dictates the price of natural gas.
Forecasters from Atmospheric G2 said last Thursday that above-average temperatures are expected for the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. from Feb. 6 to 10.
Natural gas prices are also under pressure after the Freeport LNG natural gas export terminal in Texas announced in January, 2024 that it would close one of its three production units for a month for repairs after extreme cold in Texas damaged equipment. The closure of one of the power units will limit the export of natural gas from the United States and increase its supply.
Front NYMEX:NGH2024 Natural Gas futures contract recently fell to all-time low, below $1.900 mark.
An unusually mild winter reduced demand for natural gas and kept U.S. inventories high.
Forecasters at Maxar Technologies said last Wednesday that weather is forecast to become warmer over the next two weeks from the Rockies to the Midwest.
According to BNEF, Lower 48 States Dry Natural Gas production on Wednesday amounted to 104.2 bcf per day (+4.2% y/y). Demand for Lower 48 States Dry Natural Gas was 93.1 bcfas of Wednesday, according to BNEF. (+8.9% y/y), and net LNG flows to US LNG export terminals declined to 13.5 bcf as of Wednesday. (-4.2% by weight).
Reduced U.S. electricity production will negatively impact demand for natural gas from utility
providers.
The Edison Electrical Institute reported Wednesday that total U.S. electricity production fell -8.1% year-over-year for the week ending Feb. 3, and total electricity production in the US for the 52-week period ending February 3 fell by -0.4%.
The US Climate Prediction Center said there is a more than 55% chance that current El Niño weather conditions will remain strong in the Northern Hemisphere through March, keeping temperatures above average and putting pressure on natural gas prices.
AccuWeather predicts also El Niño will limit snowfall in Canada this season and also cause above-normal temperatures in North America.
Gas storage facilities in Europe were 71% full as of January 29, above the five-year seasonal average of 58 percent for this time of year.
Baker Hughes reported a week ago on Friday that the number of active U.S. natural gas drilling rigs fell by -1 rig to 119 rigs for the week ended Jan. 26, just above the two-year low of 113 rigs recorded on Sept. 8.
Rising to a 4.5-year high of 166 rigs in September 2022 from the pandemic-era low of 68 rigs recorded in July 2020 (data dating back to 1987), rigs number decreases again, since Q4'22.
Recent EIA report showed in full accordance with expectations, a decrease in reserves of -75 bcf that is much less than the 5-year average for this time of year of -193 bcf.
The main technical chart is for United States Natural Gas Fund LP AMEX:UNG ETF that offers straightforward exposure to front-month natural gas futures
Basically this graph clear illustrates that disinflation era is still exists, as bearish sentiment is still prevails in the market since the Q4'022, after a key 5yrs SMA breakthrough.
Perhaps this is the end, and market capitulation is almost right there, as it typically happens each time in long-term downward market trends.
