BOIL a scalp trade LONGBOIL had trended down from a high about May 19 until June 2nd when it reversed and gained
for one week before resuming its trend down. This can be seen on the half hour chart. The
The attached RS indicator shows the decreasing strength trending down from 65 to 40 over the
past few trading days. Upon drawing trendline support and resistance. I note that a descending
or falling wedge pattern is evident. This is a bullish chart pattern predictive of a price action
reversal. A volume profile is added to the chart showing the highest volume of trading at
the POC line corresponding to a price of $2.58.
I will trade a long trade on BOIL by way of a buy stop at $ 2.59 with a stop loss at $2.57.
The target will be the top of the high volume area of the volume profile @ $2.74.
This trade will risk $0.02 compared with a potential profit of $ 0.15 yielding a reward to
risk of 7.5. As it turns out, I did this exact same trade this past Wednesday June 7rh.
Besides 100 shares I will buy one call option striking $2.50 with an expiration of 6/30
to leverage the trade.
KOLD
Is KOLD getting chilled out ?KOLD's trend down may be continuing. They say weather climate conditions are for things
heating up. this trader concurs albeit from one of the traditional hottest places in the entire
USA and so with that bias come hell or bitter winter chill. On the chart, a persistent trend
down for KOLD underneath the Ichimoku cloud of the Luxalgo indicator is easily seen.
Luxalgo's Bollinger Band oscillator shows that price is riding down along the lower BB band
without any outlook for a reprive. Furthermore, price is well below the high volume
area of the volume profile and in the lowermost bands of the anchored VWAP. On the MACD
indicator, the MACD and signal are both trending down and well below zero.
In short, the value of KOLD is crashing down. Any traders long are best to consider liquidating
while any value remains. I am not long KOLD and happily continue my long positions in
BOIL, the inverse of it until analysis dictates otherwise.
UNG Natural Gas ( Unleveraged) ETF LongOn the 4 hour chart- UNG had a head and shoulder pattern in May from which it descended
in a gradual fashion from May 25 to June 2nd and then reversed upward. The reversal occurred
at two standard deviations below the mean anchored VWAP and so deep in the oversold
area. Price has crossed over the higher VWAP line and so is in the band between the mean VWAP
and one standard deviation below it. Volumes have been persistent. Importantly, the zero
lag MACD shows the lines in parallel and crossing the zero horizontal line from underneath.
I see UNG properly set up for a long trade. Fundamentally, the hot summer may bring
increased natural gas consumption to make electricity for air conditioning. The dam disaster
in Ukraine may close down the biggest nuclear plant in Europe because of cooling
lakes potentially compromised. Natural gas may be an alternative fuel to make electricity.
Compressed NG from the US may become more important to Europe, especially since the
Nordic Stream pipeline issue developed. All in all, I think natural gas prices are likely to rise.
Can KOLD make it through the summer?KOLD is a leveraged inverse of natural gas futures contracts. Natural gas prices could see a rise
this summer as it is fuel for electric plants to make electricity to power air conditioning and
charge all the new electric cars. Hydroelectric and wind might be green put they contribute
little to the large power grid. NG is better than coal and diesel. So if a supply and demand
imbalnce develops what does Eco 101 say will happen to prices ? KOLD will go down and BOIL,
its inverse will go up as rising current prices will reflect in futures contracts in months ahead.
On the chart, KOLD is seen in an uptrend and the RSI has crossed over the 50 line while
price has crossed over the POC line of the profile ( mean price at which the most shares traded
over the given date range). Bullish momentum is slightly dominating with moving averages
diverging. A volume void above may result in a small jump along the way. Will the summer
heat drive up NG prices and make KOLD melt?
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.
UNG- Buy at a BottomAs shown on the 4H chart, UNG has been trending down albeit with a triple top in April
and a head and shoulders in early May. It is presently at the bottom of the long term volume
profile and two standard deviations below the running mean anchored VWAP. This is
deep undervalued territory. On the MACD indicator, the K and D lines intersecting while under
the histogram which is positive portrays an early entry signal. I believe that it is inevitable
that UNG will have an uptrend in June as it did in April and May. The uptrends had a slope
of about 1.5-3% per day while underway. I will take a long trade in UNG and potentially BOIL
while leveraging XNGUSD on forex. For UNG, the targets are the POC line of the volume profile,
and mean VWAP , the final target is one standard deviation above VWAP while the stop loss
is three standard deviations below VWAP ( thin green line).
KOLD drops with Natural Gas RisesOn the daily chart KOLD has been testing resistance since February with a single touch in
February , a head and shoulders in April and a double top in early May. It is now retracing
due to the rise in natural gas prices in the past 10 days. A support line from a prior
retracement in early March is drawn at 41.45. This analysis is further supported by the zero-lag
MACD oscillator. I will take a trade of put options but short selling is another alternative.
Once in the trade, a signal to close will be the red zone outside the bands as was the case
in late February. The actual sell signal being the thick MACD black line inflecting from moving
downward to upward. KOLD could drop 80% from the present price down to the POC line of
the volume profile at about $ 12.50. If leveraged with put options this could represent
a 5X profit or better. Any sustained rebound in natural gas prices will lend heavy support to
this idea. IF a trader wants to capture smaller moves albeit at the risk of getting into a chop
zone, a smaller time fram such as 30-120 minutes could be used.
UNG retracement complete- to uptrend again.UNG as shown on the 15-minute chart had an untrend for a week culminated by the very steep
finish to the uptrend into resistance followed by a very rapid bounce down and retracement.
A standard 50% Fibonacci retracement is now complete. UNG appears to be bounding off
the POC line of the volume profile which coincides with the 0.5 Fib level.
UNG tracks the natural gas futures, especially the leading month. It appears now ready to
resume an uptrend. This is a directional bearing on the trend for any instrument based on
natural gas prices including XNGUSD on forex.
BOIL Megaphone PatternBOIL on the 15-minute chart is currently in an upward facing megaphone pattern. I have drawn
in the upper and lower trendlines which are a form of static support and resistance. The
megaphone pattern is one of increasing volatility between buyers and sellers and indecision
It is the opposite of consolidation in a narrow channel. The anchored VWAP
shows BOIL to be between the mean VWAP and the first standard deviation band below it.
This is generally considered the lower part of the fair value zone. The volume profile has a
high volume area of in the price range of 3 to 3.7 while the POC line is confluent with the
VWAP. The "better" RSI oscillator/ indicator shows values above 75 at swing highs
and values below 25 at swing lows. My goal in this trade is to buy at the lower ( support )
trendline and sell at the higher ( resistance) trendline. I will be watchful for any fibonnaci
retracements of a prior trend. At present, BOIL is at that lower trendline and RSI is showing
weakness. I will add to my position now as I did in the whipsaw action some hours ago at the
location of the bearish engulfing candles in the premarket and the opening.
XNGUSD Bull Pennant Pattern Short then LongXNG has had a big week with a big bullish momentum move into a symmetrical triangle
and then a breakout into a bull flag pattern to finish out the trading week. A Bollinger Band
squeeze as the symmetrical triangle was underway preceded the breakout. PRice crossed the
POC line of the volume profile where trading volume , liquidity and volatility all are the
highest Equities and equity funds like BOIL, KOLD, UNG, UNL, LNG had corresponding moves.
The Luxalgo ECHO indicator, a predictive AI tool, suggests that from here XNGUSD will retrace
5% or so perhaps targeting the mid/basis line of the Bollinger Bands and then resume its
upward trend. the retracement would be 50% of the uptrend which started the morning of
5/18 which was a 10% move. The indicator is predicting the uptrend resumption for
5/22. By extension, equity instruments that mirror natural gas prices presumably will have
similar moves. I conclude that my profits achieved in BOIL options after the big move
should be prtially taken off the table to buy some KOLD calls or BOIL puts instead to hedge
for the prediction of the algorithm tool.
Natural Gas Update: BreakoutNat Gas had an epic move to the upside today.
will the bullish momentum continue?
BOIL LONG a 3x leverage Natural Gas ETF Natural Gas prices have finally reversed on the FOREX markets
after significant downtrends from a historical high.
BOIL on the hourly chart has reversed a two-week downtrend
and today has an increasing volume. Ir bounced off the lower
Fibonacci levels and is looking to revert to the mean. Price
was undervalued below the green fair value zone at the VWAP
+/- one standard deviation but is now heading back into it
from the buying pressure.
As a 3x leveraged ETF is prone to more volatility than the
unleveraged UNG counterpart. I will play this with a call
option contract expiring 3/31 striking $4.00 and expecting
at least a 50% return in the upcoming 8 trading days.
The risk here is that this is just a short pullback on the
downtrend but getting in early on a long and watching carefully
is the approach I have taken.
Natural Gas Short squeeze!Natural Gas had a bullish close today up over 4% despite weakening economic data.
We could be entering the next stage where Nat gas starts moving higher off these lows.
Clear Accumulation has been occurring and this move off the lows matches the seasonality period of Nat gas.
Natural Gas & Energy UpdateNatural Gas is on watch for a technical Breakout
We got a bullish daily close on Natural gas today.
Its the first time Nat gas has had 2 daily closes above the 50 day moving average since it started the nasty downtrend.
Natural Gas Detail Trading Plan |Long term| Support & Resistance- AMEX:NG AMEX:UNG AMEX:BOIL : if i were to add today, I laid out a detailed game plan in the video of how to trade it with SL and target.
- 4 hour currently in neutral trend
- potentially shaping up daily higher low and trend change to uptrend need to break above prior high
- still trading within the equilibrium range likely breaking in early May
Natural gas - bottom callers will be dead before risingMajority of traders are loading up on their AMEX:BOIL longs and natural gas futures long positions.
This is why SSL will be grabbed first between $1.5 to $1.7 before price can increase.
Natural Gas crash?Natural gas has crashed when comparing it to the DBC commodity ETF.
If a recession takes hold, demand destruction always prevails and it looks like Nat gas is pricing this in.
This price action could be a leading indicator that many other commodities may be vulnerable to a pullback.
Since Natural Gas is one of the smaller components of this ETF, it can see a large influx of capital that has to stay long by rotating out of other overbought commodities. Natural gas has broken out before the DBC and it has bottomed before the DBC. Nat Gas has the largest divergence from its peers.
Natural Gas: Commodity DivergencesThe correlation between DBC (orange line) and Nat Gas is strong.
However, Nat Gas gas does have price history where it diverges, leads & lags the average DBC price action. The white arrows on the screen display the periods where Nat Gas And DBC (in orange) diverge. Some of the divergences have lead to steep pops & drops of mean reversion.
What were seeing now is a massive divergence of about -33%, Nat gas has crashed and is the number one underperforming commodity in this basket.
Nat gas has retraced back to the Pre Covid low levels. Looking at the DBC ETF its about 33% off the Pre Covid Lows.
Over history the correlation usually tightens up and it has a long way to go to close the gap divergence. This presents one of 3 scenarios..
1. Other commodities in the basket collapse
2. Natural Gas Rallies
3. Both options (Our Base Case)
