NATURAL GAS - NatGas - shortAs said before the "pausa" for Pull Back .. this is not an easy trade.
All the world think about an increase of energetics price for the winter but based on technical point in this moment we cannot confirm that.
The pull back .. until this moment was really short.. without "energy" .. and arrived only to 0,38 of thirt wave.. this let me to think that probably the short momentum is not completed.
Before I wrote and now confirm that:
1) COT report say that non commercial are short (with increase)
2) Europe has completed the "stock" for this winter
3) Europe has created a big plan to reduce the electricity consumption
4) USA has a short possibilities for increase the natural gas export at least for the next one mounths
5) The petroil cost are decrease and could be more convenient that GAS
---
From TA we have still on going the big H&S and a little bit H&S in this last movement.. so all this with technical wave analysis suggest a short continuation ...
Stop Over the 7,2$
Trade safe.. always
Oct 26,22-NG-Nice Profits from yesterdays rallyMy Buy Order at 5 is in decent profits today after yesterdays bullish run. Price action sits around my next Buy Order at 5.5 today.
I will continue to monitor price action as there will be ups and down from now till Feb. I will close my Buy Orders at 700-800 point profits along the way to lock in my profits.
Stay safe.

Oct 25,22-NG-FINALLY price is going up :-)In looking at the chart, you can see how price dropped quite a bit outside the Linear Regression Indicator but price is on it's way back up.
Yesterday was the first day in a long time of positive gains, hopefully going to finish the week off in green territory.
As previously discussed, I put another Buy Order in at 5, which is now in profit so that's good. Just waiting for price to continue skyrocketing.
FYI - price will probably NOT skyrocket up to 10 or anything, but will very slowly make it's way up there over the winter. So this could be a 4 month grind, so get your Big Boy Pants on and strap in for a crazy ride - between the War, Recession, Sky high interest rates and Bankruptcies (more to come over the next 6-12 months) it's going to be a crazy 2023!!
Stay safe!

Too fast, too furious for Natural Gas?After a sharp drop in August, Natural Gas futures is now sitting close to the long-term uptrend support which has marked key reversal points since June 2020. Our question is whether prices have fallen too fast and too soon?
We question “too furious” when we look at the RSI which currently points to oversold levels. Hitting a low close to 24, the last time RSI reached such an oversold level, in February 2017, prices rallied close to 35% over the next 2 months. We also note the formation of RSI divergence now, like the one we observed during the 2017 period. If history is any guide, from a technical perspective we can expect some upside for Natural Gas in the coming 2 months.
We question “too fast” as we are at the dawn of the seasonality trade. With demand for Natural gas used for heating generally rising as winter months are approaching, we can reflect on the seasonality behavior of Natural Gas prices over the past winters. A simple strategy of buying in the middle of October and waiting for the winter months gives a 70% win-rate when we look back at the past 10 years. Could we expect the same this winter?
On top of these, we think there are a few structural factors that might boost natural gas demand in the US over a longer-term horizon.
1) The recent announcement by the Biden administration that ruled out a ban or curbs on natural gas exports this winter, and Europe’s struggle with the energy crisis spell good news for Natural Gas’s demand.
2) Current Natural gas storage levels are also below the 5-year average as reported by the US EIA .
3) A move away from coal as agreed in the COP26 means alternative energy sources are bound to replace coal. With many coal-powered plants being refurbished to work with natural gas, we see structural demand rising as more of these plants come online.
Natural gas’s current technical levels point oversold to us, with the seasonality trade potentially on the cards and an overall supportive macro backdrop, we lean bullish on Natural gas. As Natural Gas is considered a highly volatile contract, we can use the Average True Range (ATR) to set our stops. In this case, we follow the rule of thumb to multiply the ART by 2, which sets our stop at roughly 4.550.
Entry at 5.200, stop at 4.550. Target at 6.400.

NATGAS Supply And Demand LONG AnalysisHigher Timeframe:
-Price inside HTF weekly demand
-Look for buys
Lower Timeframe:
-4hr timeframe overextended with 6x DBD in a row.
-Wait for aggressive downward trend line break + strong quality zone to be created
-looking to either buy the demand is price pulls back or use as my highertimeframe and then look for new lowertimeframe
confirmation.
Natural Gas, maybe the last long swing tradingnatural gas is risky and high volatile. A simply backtest on seasonality over the last years is not sufficient. But I note now an interesting technical convergence to a dynamic support since 2020 and Fibonacci Level (0.618) retracement of this last uptrend. Maybe it could be the last long swing trading if chart will confirm that
Natural gas still under negative pressureNatural gas is still under negative pressure
The 100-week moving average crossed by closing last week with the highest trading pace since the August top at $10
The price is currently testing a price congestion area between $5 and $4.6
Momentum is negative in the long-term to the medium term
And expectations of the continuation of the downward wave to 3.96
Ultra Short Term and Mid Term view of NATURAL GAS NG UNGTickers: NG1!, UNG
Short term view: We are finding weak support at $4.90 level on NG, or $17.50 on UNG.
We are in overall BEAR BIAS MARKET (even with the short term uptrend in the larger equities and bond market) so we will retain the retracement from the SELLERS perspective.
We find a strong case to take profit at $5.20 (NG1!) or $18.15 (UNG)
TP1: $5.20 (NG1!) / $18.15 (UNG)
TP2: $5.35 (NG1!) / $18.80 (UNG)
There is a possibility if the market exuberance continues, we can consider a mid-term view of NG
MIDTERM VIEW :
SHORT TERM VIEW:
Natural Gas: bullish reversal soon?We have a bullish reversal in the weekly and daily RSI. There is a possible expanding triangle in the daily chart suggestion on more wave up. Current price is at a possible resistance--support level.
Watch for price action to support this idea this week.
If confirmed I personally will be using UNG ( 1 x natural gas) and EQT (major USA gas producer).
As always: process your way as everyone's analysis is wrong as times.
Have a great week. Feedback always welcome.
NATURALGAS - Important level ✅Hello traders!
‼️ This is my analysis on NATURALGAS .
Here we are around to an important level, as if price breaks out the support zone I will consider that we are in a bear market, which means I will look only for shorts. Also, we could see a rejection from strong support level.

NATURAL GAS: HUGE OPPORTUNITYHi guys, following my recent analysis on silver, i'm looking also at Natgas.
In my opinion this winter we'll see many problem in Europe and if governments try to save many countries, we'll see the price fall but then rise in the coming months, just after this winter.
Why?
Well governments will try to save countries in the short term "printing money" (i mean with interest rate, qe, etc) but then they will be forced to did a step back pushing the price up. Europe need gas, it's improbable to not see the price go up.
Be prepared and let's see.
Natural Gas / NG - It's Officially a Bear. Now, Hold My BeerThis post is a continuation of a previous post, which is based on a longer-term analysis:
Natural Gas / NG - What, Truly, Is a Bull?
With Wednesday-Friday and Monday morning's long-awaited dump into the fabled double bottom around $7.4, natural gas can only be considered to have formally shifted into a bearish market structure, based on both the 4H and Daily candles.
Note that the dump also breached range equilibrium.
What this means, is that it's finally time to look for a 45-day short play on natural gas. Remember, Freeport is supposed to re-open for export to Europe in mid-November, so in principle you'd want to see the downside manipulation occur before then.
However, all this time, big firms have been shipping U.S. natural gas via boat to Europe, and making more than $100 million a shipment in the process . Demand has been so enormous that there aren't enough ships on the planet available to meet it.
So it's not that U.S. Henry Hub pricing hasn't reflected the demand problem caused by Europe shooting itself in the knees trying to spite Putin and Russia so it can fit in with cool kids in the Globalist Bloc. It has.
It's just that the reality is, no matter the news and how it's framed, an energy crisis is coming to North America too.
You just won't see it until inflation starts to dip. Energy prices have to come down for inflation to dip. Once inflation dips, it will rip again, because it hasn't topped yet. Anyone who says inflation has peaked obviously can't read The Diagram, and nobody who is unable to read The Diagram is worthy of being a Doctor.
Regarding price action, once something as turbulent as natural gas dumps, and dumps a lot, and takes out key pivots, you have to be careful. At present the market makers are still employing these patterns where they seek and destroy to the downside and then quickly seek and destroy the upside.
It's very hard to catch a truly trending market at the moment, and so you have to employ a surgical strike style of trading and positioning rather than trying to get long or get short and rack up the Sklansky Bucks comfortably.
For example, the stock indexes look like they're going to bounce, and probably hard, before the next big leg down, regardless of what comes out of Wednesday's FOMC:
SPX500 / ES - It's Still a Bull. Now, Good Luck Riding It
With natural gas, what I'm really looking for here to position puts for November is a bounce into the $8.9 range. The problem is, the natural gas market makers are not so polite. They don't want you along for their ride. It's their ride, and if you're good enough to figure it out, you can make money. But if you can't, they will buck you off and you can watch from the sidelines.
They're a lot like angry cowboys, and so there is a possibility that is far from negligible that a number like $9.6 prints again before we see the next move down.
Or at least a number that starts with $9.
Regardless, in my opinion, once this bear is finished growling and knocking over trees, we will actually begin to see trending markets again. They won't trend for all that long, but you won't get bounces this time. It'll just landslide or gap down to where it wants to go and collect all the badly positioned longs or the longs who somehow never took profit during a run to $10.
WTI Oil, likewise, is in the same boat.
WTI Crude / CL - An Intervention: Saving Blind Bulls
Although its price pattern is more notable in that it once again traded back to the $81 gap and bounced again. If it runs the $91 double top it left behind and keeps going up, it might just be a bull run again. But if it just crushes $91 and starts to fall, you can surely expect numbers like $69 and $50 are en route, no matter what the fundamentals say about global demand.
What you're ultimately looking at with the positioning of the markets, whether it be copper, soybeans, stocks, is you're looking at first some bouncing and then what is likely a market-wide sell off with some days of panic that is simultaneously subdued and overexaggerated.
All of which is designed to have you sell low and then buy back higher with half your account left intact.
Consider that last week's CPI dump took 200 points from the SPX in a few hours, but only raised the VIX by like 3 points. VIX 28 is now a ceiling. VIX 40-42 will be where you find the bottoms. VIX 72 will come when the markets truly start to head to the downside.
After the global avalanche is finished, you'll likely see the Nasdaq be extremely strong for a few months. SPX will be okay, but will be drug down by energy companies, which won't do particularly well because they'll be drug down by natural gas and WTI accumulating at low prices. Dow will probably be better than SPX but worse than Nasdaq on account of its defense contractors likewise accumulating at low prices.
Once retail is done gorging themselves stupid on $30 SNAP and $45 BBBY and $198 AAPL, reality will unfold. Stocks will crash, hard.
WTI and Natural Gas and other commodities (Except for silver and gold. Seriously. Quit being a moonboy on ancap stuff. It'll rot your teeth.) will make major new highs and energy companies and defense contractors will become the safe haven in the markets.
When those days unfold, you can expect major geopolitical turbulence, which can include as much as the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party. You can also see significant natural and manmade disasters unfold. It won't be a pleasant time. But you should know that what unfolds will appear chaotic but actually be orderly.
Everything unfolding in the world is orderly and well arranged. This world will not be destroyed, although there will be significant hardship for many regions, and few will find the outcome comfortable.
But for now, you can focus on trying to make money. You have the difficult task of trying to find a time to short natural gas inside of a 15% possible range. You can short $8.9, but they really might take that $9.3 pivot. If you wait for the $9.3 pivot, you might not get filled and miss the move.
This kind of move back up is also designed to dump the ETFs, many of which trade on 2x leverage (10% natural gas move = 20% ETF dump), so big pockets can get fat long for the real dump.
It's very annoying. They're really very annoying about how they do things. It's a constant gut check and a series of difficult and suboptimal circumstances, because time is an excellent weapon and they use it very well.
You should know that all the decisions you face when trading and all the loss and gain you come across are actually opportunities to cultivate your mind and your heart. They're chances to improve.
Every thought and feeling you have while doing this is you forging yourself like quicksilver being refined inside of a crucible powered by burning hydrogen.
Everything depends on how you improve your heart and employ your rationality. Fear and greed are your greatest enemies.

NATURAL GAS NEAR DEMAND ZONENatural Gas has seen a sharp fall within past few weeks from 9.051 to 5.480 within 7 to eight weeks only. This is more than 35% fall. Now it has reached near the major support zone where there was high demand during the July month, we can buy Natural Gas now and aim for 6.508 price level
Natural Gas | Need More LowThursday, 20 October 2022
16:13 PM (WIB)
Natural Gas is entering a bullish area as it broke 61.8% but still heading to 78.6% or even more low.
I’m expecting the price could hit the ground support for more easy and minimalist risk to trades.
If the price reaches the ground support, the Head and Shoulder Structure Patterns would be the best direction to trade.
