Natgas
Natural Gas time to easy Rally To evaluate the trend of Natural Gas we must take into account 2 factors:
1) The international macro political scenarios:
Russia, which is the world's leading producer, will export less to its main customer the European Union.
Winter in Europe is upon us and there is a serious risk of an energy blockade, Europe will find GAS but the cost from September onwards will be very high with the main natural gas producer out of the market.
2) Graphically we can deduce a strongly bullish graphic structure where increasing minimums and maximums constantly lean on well-defined supports, the price above the moving averages 100, 200 and the fibonacci extension speaks clearly the price should orbit soon at the price of $ 15.
GAS export data:
In 2020, the 5 largest gas exporters in the world were Russia (199,928 mcm), United States (149,538 mcm), Qatar (143,700 mcm), Norway (112,951 mcm), Australia (102,562 mcm).

NatGas: Pretty in PinkNatGas would look really pretty in pink, wouldn’t it? Therefore, it should proceed to move downwards to complete wave ii in pink in the upper pink zone between $6.055 and $5.325. Afterwards, it should turn around and climb upwards, crossing the resistance at $6.786 and heading for the next one at $8.118. There is a 33% chance, though, that NatGas could acquire taste for more pink, drop below the support at $5.325 and into the lower pink zone between $4.835 and $4.205.
EURUSD - reopening of the Nord Stream 1 - a major vol event?Talk of an unfolding energy crisis in Europe is well known, but we now come to a more defining and almost binary point in the proceedings – one EUR, commodity and EU equity traders should be aware of as a major event risk.
On 21 July, the Russians will need to make the call to resume the flow of natural gas (NG) through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline – the pipeline, which supplies c.10% of Europe’s consumption was closed this week for maintenance and is due to re-open on 21 July – or at least that is the plan.
Supply through the pipeline that transports NG from Russia to Germany has fallen some 60% since June, due to a mix of sanctions and because a key turbine used to pump the gas was removed and sent back to Canada for maintenance and has remained there due to global sanctions. The Europeans, notably, the Germans and Italians, are concerned the Russians may use the unavailability of the turbine as a pawn to halt the restarting of flow on 21 July.
Various news wires have suggested the Canadians, under some pressure from Germany, have agreed to export the turbine back to Germany, but Gazprom has suggested they’ve not yet seen any documents providing evidence the turbine will be allowed to return. Naturally, the concern is if Russia does not restart the flow, we could see European NG inventories fast depleted, and any hope they could build them through the July to September period, and ahead of the winter, reduced. Talk of gas rationing is certainly elevated and it could significantly impact EU inflation and lower growth. It would make the job of the ECB, which is largely expected to hike rates by 25bp on 21 September, far more challenging.
The Europeans would look to the LNG market as an alternative, but that market is already very tight, with sizeable demand out of Asia.
Current inventory levels are manageable and can supply European demands through the winter period, but much now relies on the future flow from Russia. Russia seemingly holds the cards and will be acutely aware that if they don’t restart the flow then EU NG prices could push from current levels of E180 per MWh and above E200 MWh. In a world where most commodities are trending lower, EU NG prices are appreciating rapidly and with falling growth and consumer sentiment, this is a toxic mix for Europe.
While we can look at relative excepted interest rate settings, terms of trade or other traditional metrics that showcase the relative attractiveness as an investment destination – the simple fact is that EURUSD and EU NG prices are incredibly negative correlated and seem to have the strongest statistical relationship. The 21-day rolling correlation between the two variables is -0.88.
Taking that into account, it almost seems binary that EURUSD will move in anticipation of the outcome of Russia’s decision on 21 July. We can argue that EURUSD is already pricing in a large degree that Nord Stream 1 won't restart immediately, so that needs to be considered.
Of course, in the near-term, the pair will move on other factors but it’s time to put the 21 July and Russia's call on flow on the radar, because FX traders will be watching closely and reacting to headlines – any view that the flow will resume, even at a lower rate than before the recent halt, could lead to relief that Germany (and other nations) may not have to ration gas through the winter period, in turn, driving a market short of EURUSD into 1.0150/1.0200 and pushing the GER40 higher. Of course, if they hold off then it could set a new leg lower in EU assets.
An event risk to put on the radar.
Natgas Day TF - butterfly pattern assumption - July 2022Following the theory, the X-A leg is the first leg of the price fall, then follow by the A-B leg up retracing 78.6%, then leg down to B-C leg retrace 38.2% - 88.6% and the final leg is C-D which normally price would go up to 127% or 161.8%.
if price follow as I drew, I would enter my long position from the low of C-D leg and take profit accordingly.

NG! Coming down to earth? Or further price appreciation?NG! has had a historic two-year bull rally. Is the fun over for nat gas traders?
Fundamentally little has changed regarding the supply and demand of U.S nat gas despite the last few weeks of intense selling, with exception of a temporary surplus of U.S nat gas supply due to a fire in a Freeport export terminal.
Global weather remains extreme. Nat gas supply globally remains low compared to historical levels. Not to mention the effect of the added complications on the global energy trade from the war in Europe and the sanctions related to it. I think with all the uncertainties in today's world, a nat gas long position at these depressed prices (depressed on a short-term basis) at the very least provides some form of a hedge on the risk of escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war and/or worsening inflation.
Current Prices seem relatively attractive for a trade, but short-term momentum could push NG! down to the 4.54 support area. The 4.54 area would be an ideal entry for going long given that the fundamental narrative on U.S nat gas remains favorable.
This is not trading advice. Good luck!

NATURAL GAS - Trade of the Summer (thanks Biden)A perfect entry FXPROFESSOR Style and a 35% drop in 15 days .. A trader can never ask for anything more than that.
The charts don't lie and when an alert goes off from TRADINGVIEW we don't even look at the chart: we just went short without delay.
NEWS:
The FREEPORT LNG TERMINAL FIRE made things better for our trade as more supply with same demand for US Natgas... it also made things even worse for Germany and Europe...
LEt's see what happens next as Europe must find ways to make peace with Russia soon.
One Love,

Long Natural GasNatural Gas futures have retraced the 2022 bull trend to a 50% Retracement Level at 6.60. Price needs to hold this level or else it risks giving up the 2022 trend.
This trade was prompted by a 30 minute timeframe Spike Alert this morning that pegged the broader trend level and sets up a low risk test. Stop alert below the morning low and an initial target a Retrace of the move down.
Some D****** members chose AMEX:BOIL to express the trade (more volatility for more gains) and I chose AMEX:UNG as the vehicle.
NATGAS LongHey,
I think NATGAS is oversold. The price has dropped some 30% from the top, partly because 2% of the US demand abruptly seized, as Freeport LNG had an explosion, and are delaying restart of the facilities.
Never know what happens in this volatile market, but as long as the conflicts between Russia and the west continues, I believe NATGAS is going to continue upwards soon. Be careful though!
Kind regards and God be with you,

Jun 20, 22 NG time to go long?So I heard Germany will have to fire up their coal plants due to Russia clamping down on their supply of NG to Germany.
I don't know if this will affect U.S. NG or not, but considering how far NG has fallen in the last 3 days or so, I imagine NG might go back up 500 points or so this week.
Let me know your thoughts.
Stay safe.
Heiko
NATURAL GAS Strong sell towards at least the 1D MA200Natural Gas (NG1!) broke below its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) last week for the first time since February 11 and upon the first re-test as a Resistance, it got rejected. This indicates strong sell bias on the medium-term. The likely target is the zone within the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and the 1D MA300 (green trend-line) or when the 1D RSI turns oversold.
With the long-term pattern being a Bullish Megaphone since July 2020, the 1D MA200 was reached on both previous Higher Lows formation. Depending on the news at the time, as long as the pattern holds, the price is then more likely to bounce back up. However NG's multi-month cyclical behavior shows that it is close to the end of the current Cycle. So if the Megaphone breaks to the downside, be ready to invest in a long-term sell. Updates will follow until then.
