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.

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.

Can XNGUSD short squeeze?XNGUSD on the weekly chart showing two years of price action with weekly candles shows the rise in 2021 into spring 2022 then printing a head and shoulders pattern and the reversal to deep into the support/demand zone. The volume profile shows the majority of the trading during this time period to have been between $3.75 and $ 8.50. It would seem likely that there are a sizeable amount of short sellers holding positions with unrealized profits of 50% to as much as 300%. This past week had the best buying volume in six months and provides bulls with optimism If natural gas can gain some momentum and put in green candles with a decent price range for a couple of weeks in a row, the combination of new buyers with new interest and short sellers liquidating and buying to cover their unrealized gains might ignite a bit of a rally for natural gas. I will keep natural gas on watch. I will keep in mind that a breakout without a corresponding volume the response could be a fakeout. A stop loss would be $1.95 below the support zone while the final target would be $4.75 below the POC line. Interval take profits would be 10% of the forex lots every time the price rises by $0.50 for risk management and good profit taking while underway.

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 - bottom is not in yetIf you see the majority of traders saying that the bottom for natural gas is in, then you should be sure that it isn't. I predict that natural gas will take out these equal lows at 1.91 and we will see 1.784 soon. The uptrend will start when no one will be talking about it. Unfortunately, the majority of traders are in long positions and due to market liquidity, these traders need to be taken out before the market makers and institutions will buy it up again.

BOIL UPDATE LONGTERMOn the daily chart, BOIL price has never been lower and the relative volume has never been higher in the past five years. Being mindful, this is leveraged it falls faster than an the unleveraged counterpart of the same commodity ( UNG INL) However moves in the opposite directions are also amplified. Horizontal red lines are drawn in consideration of pivots on the 4H. Price was nearly $600 in 2019. Can you think of a fundamental reason why price cannot rise from the present price to something closer to that of 2019. To go from $4 to $600 is 150X in otherwords 15000%. Is there anything wrong with my math or the chart?

European Gas March 2023: Bullish and Bearish FactorsThe idea has two parts: fundamental and technical analysis . The latter is based on the weekly chart. On the fundamental side , several essential and minor factors affect and could affect March 2023 price change. Let's divide them into three groups. Bullish : Russian shutdown of gas supply to Europe Russia has cut its European flows for the last months so that a total shutdown would be possible. Russian gas remains crucial for the European economy despite the American armada of LNG ships. Freeport LNG plant Restart Shift The company plans to restore the plant in January 2023. A possible postponement would support TTF prices in the winter season. Limitations of US Gas Exports Last winter, some US Senate members suggested limiting or prohibiting US LNG export. They estimated that the change would increase US gas supply for the internal US market, especially for New England, which is dependent on the import of gas from the gas-production states getting gas via pipelines and LNG. They said the prohibition would reduce high gas prices for customers and industry. In July, LNG winter 2023 prices for New England touched a record high of $40/MMBtu, while Henry Hub traded at about $8.6/MMBtu. I suppose that senators would return to the idea, especially since the US elections are in November. Although the risk is low, its realization could dramatically affect the TTF price assessment. Analysts and think tanks have considered possible Russian gas cuts but haven't accessed a potential US gas supply reduction. French Nuclear Plants Outages Since the end of 2021, the French nuclear industry has been weak with planned and unplanned maintenance. As a result, nuclear output has lost more than 40% YoY of its output. While serious issues are unlikely to arise, new minor obstacles could buoy TTF prices. Dry Summer The continuation of the European 2022 dry summer led to abbreviated hydropower production. On the back of hydropower reduction, natural gas-power generation increases its output and gas consumption, driving subdued gas injection into storage facilities. Subdued gas injection in summer means less gas for winter, creating a possible gas deficit. Bearish: Slowing European Economy and Demand Destruction High inflation induced by the monetary policy of 2020-2021 provokes a decline in real incomes and makes some industrial production unprofitable or near break-even. These debilitate aggregate demand, particularly industrial output of fertilizers, ceramics, and other chemicals. Industries that are heavily reliant on gas are cutting their gas consumption today. Lasting historically high gas prices would promote a decrease in gas utilization. The demand destruction could happen among all consumers: power, industrial and individual. A new recession is near. ECB monetary policy with a growing rate also adds problems to the economy. The rate is still tiny, but debt bubbles are sensitive to interest rate change. The bust of bubbles would drop economic growth and curtail gas demand pushing TTF prices down. Slowing world economy The world economy suffers from high prices losing economic growth momentum. A move into a recession would trigger a decline in gas consumption lowering LNG gas prices and letting LNG producers increase LNG sendout to Europe. Voluntary Demand Reductions of 15% and Gas Rationing Energy ministers of Europe adopted plans to voluntarily cut gas demand by 15% from August until March 31, 2022. In case of emergency, like near zero Russian flows, the voluntary reduction changes to mandatory. i.e., gas rationing. The actions could divert rising prices. Covid Lockdowns in Europe Europe has prepared different measures to withstand possible gas issues in winter. Besides voluntary reduction or rationing Europe could return to the lockdowns of 2020, when gas consumption dramatically went down because industrial production of goods collapsed. Since June 2022, the media has published news about a new variant of Covid. Countries could impose Covid-related limitations this fall. Unstable gas consumption and gas shortage would drive for a Covid or climate lockdown. A good measure to cut gas demand and destroy the economy. Covid Lockdowns in China Despite possible lockdowns of 2022-2023 in Europe, lockdowns in China happened in the last months and could be imposed again. An effect of prohibitions has hit the Chinese economy and cut gas consumption resulting in freeing up the supply for other consumers, i.e., Europe. New Chinese lockdowns would mean more gas for Europe. Joker : The joker that could be a bullish or bearish driver is the weather. They can't predict winter weather today. Lasting temperatures above season norms in winter could be a lifesaver for Europe, dropping gas consumption and its prices. Cold spells and lingering temperatures under the winter season average would lift prices significantly. Near-average temperatures would put the significance of the factor on hold. While in summer, it is vice versa. Temperatures above the norms slow gas storage injection and slightly increase a lack of gas risk in the winter season. On the technical side , there are no resistance levels cause the contract is traded near its record high. Only psychological levels like €200/MWh , €300/MWh , and higher. On the bulls' side, there are many support levels. For those practicing buy a bounce trading , essential levels are €125/MWh , €100/MWh , and €86/MWh . The last one developed in the December 2021-April 2022 period. I estimate that Gazprom made a significant contribution to its existence. Gazprom's export price to Europe, which was pegged to a fusion of lagged prices of fossil fuels, including TTF, was near to €86/MWh . So when the market price rose significantly above the level, market participants cut their demand because Gazprom sold cheaper. When the price tried to break through €86/MWh and went down, Gazprom trimmed its flows to Europe. All in all, this helped the company to control its revenues on the same level. Since then, it has not been the case because Gazprom has changed its approach. Finally, I am afraid to forecast the price on the expiration date. I suppose the price would remain volatile, and we could see spikes above €200/MWh in the winter season. Thank you for your reading, and have profitable trading! Comment your thoughts!

GOLAR looking like a buyPurely technical analysis based buy-point here. We can see a clear demand zone between 21-22 USD. Unfortunately, the weekly 20EMA was just backtested and got rejected, which ultimately led to declining price action. As all the signs are not there to be 100% sure about the trade, I set the stop level at 21 USD, which reduces the risk of this trade going ballistics. Entry target at 22 USD, and risk/reward at a solid 4. This bad boy has been a while in my long-term portfolio, and I was hoping to get a little bit larger position on this. This may be that time... As a European citizen, I do see a large demand for liquified natural gas in the future and tremendous investments in the energy sector, which benefits Golar a lot. Thanks for reading fellas!

XNGUSD ready to reverse recent downtrend LONGXNGUSD has been on a long downtrend. On the 1 H Chart, a falling wedge is seen awaiting a breakout. Moving Average slopes are decreasing their negativity towards zero. ATR / Volatility is decreasing as is the downtrend momentum on the average directional index indicator. I see this as a long swing trade setting up for forex or alternatively a natural gas ETF like UNL / UNG or a natural gas stock like LNG. This trade would be propelled by the dollar losing strength, inflation being sustained, WW III in Europe continuing and the weather turning cooler the remainder of the winter.

Natural Gas collapsing! Yet another deflationary signNatural gas in the US is collapsing. In part this has to do with LNG exports to the rest of the world being halted due to a fire to one of the export terminals. However in my honest opinion, there is more to it. It probably has to do more with the deflationary forces taking over, as high interest rates, money supply shrinking and inflation being too high, have destroyed demand to a very large extend. At the same time we are seeing progress in the energy space, with more projects and drilling taking place, as the ESG movement is taking a hit. The green movement needs to be sidetracked for a while, as we need cheap energy right now. Otherwise the war in Ukraine won't stop in Ukraine and we are gonna have famine in most of the world. So where would I be looking to buy natural gas? Or until what level would I be willing to short it? Based on an average I created which includes several futures contracts, I think that closing shorts at around 5$ is a good idea, yet buying a lot of NatGas with significant upside, I'd say start buying between 3-4$.

Update on US Henry Hub Natural Gas Prices – December 2022A cold weather snap forecast across much of the United States is driving demand for natural gas as a heating fuel higher. Prices of front month Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures have risen over the past week as a result. The front of the curve has moved more than the rest of the curve. The curve is now close to where it was two weeks ago. Natural gas in storage is within seasonally normal range. Since June 2022, when Freeport LNG Terminal had to shut down after a fire, natural gas storage in the US has been ramped up as the gas produced in the US can no longer be exported at the same volume as prior to the shut-down. Freeport LNG accounts for close to 20% of US export capacity. Its re-opening has been delayed many times and the latest guidance from Freeport is a partial opening in mid-December 2022 and full production in March 2023 . However, in an email statement to Reuters they have pushed the reopening to end-of-year , and we remain sceptical that there will be any flow of LNG from the terminal this side of the of the New Year. Ample storage could drive US natural gas prices lower when the cold weather snap passes. Europe has been able to fill its natural gas storage capacity to close to 90% coming into the start of the winter period (October 2022) and is now drawing on that capacity at a slower than expected rate due to thrifting and an initially milder-than-expected weather pattern. However, colder weather has arrived, which could drive higher demand. Natural gas flows to Europe from Russia have slowed to a trickle and hence the region is reliant on Liquified Natural Gas from elsewhere. Unfortunately, with Freeport LNG offline, the US will not participate fully in meeting this demand over the coming weeks, but US Henry Hub may get a boost when Freeport LNG opens. The European Union is currently trying to implement a price cap on imports. There is no final deal to speak of, but the European Commission’s proposal, is for a market correction mechanism that would kick in when the price of month-ahead contracts on the Dutch Title Transfer Facility exceeded €275 ($290) per megawatt hour and the gap between world prices was greater than €58 . Any success in approving this price cap, could limit upside for US Henry Hub used as feedstock for LNG exports to Europe. However, with the price gap between US and European natural gas prices being so wide (almost 6 times ), we believe the upside could nevertheless very large.

End of the lineCheniere Energy Inc. (LNG) stock has been on the rip since the Russian invasion on Ukraine in Febuary of '22. Russian invasion has shaken the global flows of natural gas and has enabled USA to replace Russia as dominant supplied of natural gas to Europe. Cheniere is the company which basically dominates the shipping of LNG across the Atlantic, so its no wonder their stock did more than 50% since the start of the war. As Natural gas, and energy prices in general, are slowly correcting to pre-war levels it makes sense for LNG stock to correct to its former support. It happens that support at about $120 is the same support which was tested after the war broke out, and the stock broke out to new highs.

LNG ( Natural Gas ) Breakout from Cup and Handle LONGThis is a classical chart pattern. The bullish continuation would be expected to be about $25.00 of upside given the height of the cup. The short time MAs have crossed the intermediate MA from underneath in a "Golden Cross" while positive momentum just started on the squeeze indicator. Fundamentally this makes sense with the winter heating season and the energy sector the best performing this year. I will choose a Feb 23 call option 15% above current price. ina

Possible BOIL Cup and Handle in formation ENERGY PLAY LONGBOIL could be setting up a long continuation trade Now working on the handle. MACD shows the lines crossed while under the histogram is very often an excellent sign. Time will tell- My preferred trade will be call options expiring in late January or February. ( This is a triple-leveraged natural gas play with the upcoming winter heating season expected to be expensive especially in Europe. The inverse is KOLD which would be a good put option right now.)

LNG Natural Gas Energy Play LongAMEX:LNG LNG having trended down with the fall in the price of natural gas is now sitting in the support zone. I anticipate an up-trending retracement to potentially as up as the resistance zone. Rising relative volume and rising relative strength lend support to a reversal as does the consolidation in the price of natural gas after a recent fall. As a swing long trade the stop loss is below the support zone with the first target of about $ 160 or a 50% retracement and the final target at $ 167 before resistance.
