NG. - Long: bull flag breakout NG. has formed a bull flag with a falling parallel channel and is about to breakout. Bull flag is a continuation pattern so woith complete formation of bull flag, expected price target is 1230 which 24% profit from current price.
If we connect two highest points on a weekly point, they coincide with the same price target of 1230, completing formation of a bull flag.
Price is also above SMA200.
If price retraces back to lower parallel channel trendline, this would be a good add level as there is strong support zone in Weekly timeframe
Enter: Current Market Price

Copper breached the supportThe L-MLH is a most likely support.
This support is breached in Copper, and a fllow through would indicate way lower prices.
What I really like in this Chart is the tiny pullback to the L-MLH, since this is totally expected after a breach of it.
Arrows mark potential targets.
NatGAS is heating upA close above the white Center-Line projects higher prices to come.
There are 2 scenarios I see:
1. pull-back to the white CL, then up.
2. cross above the petrol CL, further and fast continuation to the north.
...oh, there's 3rd scenario:
3. price is getting punched back below the white Center-Line again. If that comes true, price has another chance to go south, with a target at the 1/4 line, or even way down to the L-MLH.
NG, prepping for a multi weekly gain come December 2023NG based on monthly data is registering very significant net buy volume at the current price range.
Seller's strength is certainly fading out based on thinning price volatility this past few days / weeks -- as shown on yellow price lines on chart.
NG is currently sitting at a strong major support at 2.0 to 2.5 area, a 1.0 FIB discount level -- this is where most buyers converge.
Initial trend shift has been spotted at the present price range.

Smart Money's Secret Signal - Commercials Loading Up on NattySmart Money's Secret Signal: Commercial Traders Are Loading Up on Natural Gas
The natural gas market is displaying compelling signals that suggest a potentially significant bullish trend change on the horizon. Through careful analysis of the Commitment of Traders (COT) report and several other key market indicators, we're seeing a convergence of bullish factors that warrant close attention from market participants.
Commercial Positioning at Multi-Year Extremes
Perhaps the most significant indicator is the current positioning of commercial traders, who are now more long than they've been in over three years. Commercial traders, often considered the "smart money" in commodity markets, tend to have the most comprehensive understanding of supply and demand dynamics. Their extreme long positioning is a powerful bullish signal that shouldn't be ignored.
Open Interest Analysis Confirms Bullish Outlook
Recent weeks have shown a notable increase in open interest concurrent with price declines. This relationship between price and open interest becomes particularly meaningful when we examine who's driving the increase of OI. In this case, the increase in open interest is primarily attributed to commercial traders building long positions – a highly bullish indication that suggests strong hands are accumulating positions at current price levels.
Contrarian Indicators Support the Bullish Case
Several contrarian indicators are aligning to support the bullish thesis:
-Investment advisor sentiment is currently very bearish, which historically has been a reliable contrarian indicator.
-Small speculators are showing extreme short positioning, and this group tends to be wrong at market extremes.
-Natural gas is undervalued when compared to historical relationships with gold and U.S. Treasuries.
Technical Confirmation Signals
The technical picture is adding weight to the bullish case:
-The Average Directional Index (ADX) has triggered a buy signal, dropping below 20 while commercials shifted to extreme long positioning.
-A bullish spread divergence has emerged between front-month and second-month contracts, implying immediate commercial demand for the front month, which is bullish.
-A major weekly bullish divergence has recently confirmed, suggesting potential for significantly higher prices.
Market Structure and Timing
While these indicators paint a compelling picture for higher natural gas prices, it's crucial to understand that this analysis doesn't necessarily call for immediate long positioning. Rather, it suggests that the market is fundamentally "setting up" for an upward move. Traders should wait for confirmation through a daily bullish trend change before considering positions.
The Power of COT Analysis in Trading
The Commitment of Traders report remains one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in market analysis. Understanding how to interpret this data, particularly when combined with other technical and fundamental indicators, can provide traders with a significant edge in the markets. While many traders focus solely on price action or technical indicators, the COT report offers unique insights into the positioning of the market's most informed participants.

Natural Gas is Ready For a Commercially Driven Bull MoveNatural gas is nicely setup for longs if we get a confirmed bullish trend change on the daily.
-Extreme commercial long positioning (most long they've been in the last 3 years) - bullish.
-Investment advisor sentiment very bearish - which is actually bullish.
-Undervalued vs gold & treasuries - bullish.
-ADX under 40 while commercials got extremely long - bullish.
-Bullish spread divergence between front month and next month out - bullish.
-Small specs at extreme in short positioning - bullish.
-True seasonal & some cycles are not supportive of going long, but these are the last things I look at. Enough indicators are supporting longs that I'm not going to worry about this.
-Bullish momentum divergence has triggered on some high timeframes, implying much higher prices are on the cards for Natty. There is also some smaller bullish weekly divergence currently setup (but not confirmed).
Have a good week.
NATURAL GAS: Peak reversal. Strong sell signal.Natural Gas is about to turned neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 58.678, MACD = 0.175, ADX = 30.811), previously from an overbough state, as it made a standard LH rejection at the top of a year long Triangle pattern. The 1D RSI peaked like all prior LH, the 1D MACD is forming a Bearish Cross (again like all prior LH), so we have a prime sell signal in our hands. Common target on all was the 1.786 Fibonacci extension (TP = 2.165).

Natural Gas Approaching Seasonal Growth PhaseNatural Gas is entering a period where its price tends to grow exponentially until October. We have identified a potential Demand area with a trigger price at $2.20. Given the favorable conditions and the seasonality trend, we see an opportunity for a Buy Limit order. With a reward potential of 2X, this setup offers a promising risk-to-reward ratio, making it a compelling buy opportunity.

NATURAL GAS Rejection at the top of the Falling WedgeNatural Gas (NG!) hit last week the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the long-term Falling Wedge pattern that started on the April 10 2023 Low and was immediately rejected back to the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line).
As long as it holds, this rejection indicates that technically, the new Bearish Leg should start. Our Target is 1.550 (just above Support 1). If however the trend reverses and gives a candle closing above the Lower Highs, we will take the sell's loss and buy instead, targeting 3.300 (projected 1W MA100 extension).

NG NovaGold Resources Options Ahead of EarningsAnalyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of NG NovaGold Resources prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 3usd strike price at the money calls with
an expiration date of 2024-6-21,
for a premium of approximately $0.37.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
NATURAL GAS Cycle bottom. Now one of the best buys of the year.Natural Gas / NG has been trading inside an 18 year Channel Down pattern.
It has been below both the 1M MA50 and MA200 since January 2023, as it entered into the 2nd phase of the Bearish Wave.
Last week it hit the Falling Support Zone as well as the horizontal Support Zone, which is in effect since December 2015.
The 1M RSI touched its own Rising Support.
We are at the bottom of the Sine Wave, which means that this is a Cyclical Low, a pattern holding since 2010.
This is a very bullish long-term mix and indicates that we are at or at least very near the new long term bottom.
Buy and target 3.500, which will be at the time as close to the 1M MA50/200 as possible. Also it will be almost a +137.20% rise, which remarkably enough, this is by how much NG has risen initially after each bottom.

NATURAL GAS: Ahead of a 12 month Bull Market at least.Natural Gas is on a very sharp four month decline after failing to cross over the 1M MA50, the second most aggressive four month drop so far in the past 19 years. Since the July 2008 High, the market is trading inside a Channel Down and this sharp decline is technically the final phase of the Bearish Wave to a LL at the bottom of the Channel Down. That means that a long term buy opportunity is gradually approaching and we are estimating a fair target level to be 1.400 unless the 1M RSI touches the 15 year Buy Zone earlier. Every bottom rebound extended initially to at least +134% and that is our target (TP = 3.100) for the next 12 months. It will also be a potential test of the 1M MA200.

Natural Gas: Historic Triple Decade Support LevelHistoric Price Opportunity:
NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas) is at a crucial level, with prices hovering at a point not consistently broken since a monthly close in July 1995. The weekly chart reinforces this, showing rare closures below this threshold over the last 30 years.
Technical Indicators:
RSI Bullish Divergence: The weekly RSI divergence suggests underlying strength.
Historical Resilience: This price area has been a formidable support zone.
Sub-$2 Entry: Historically, entries below $2 have been lucrative over decades.
Fundamentals at a Glance:
Electricity's Backbone: In the US, natural gas fuels 40% of electric power, significant against the backdrop of consistent year-over-year growth in electricity consumption since 1950, barring 11 years.
Green Energy Transition: Natural gas stands to gain from the global shift towards cleaner energy sources.
Soaring Exports: Global year-on-year rise in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports meets increasing international energy needs.
Counter-Trend Investing Perspective:
Every investor has heard at one time that the best time to invest is when something isn’t so hot and trendy. Well, the weather has been hot and because of that nobody thinks natural gas is trendy.
Trade Strategy Snapshot:
Entry: At any level in the $ 1.50s or a firm weekly close above the support zone above $1.60, displaying support confidence.
Target: Volume profile's highest point of control level of approximately $2.70.
Stop: A stop loss at physiological $1.50 or the $1.44 final low before levels not seen since the 1990s.
HODL: A long term holding strategy of greater than a year has historically been successful, where looking for exits along the way has been ideal. As natural gas is a useful commodity this is appealing.
Trading involves risks and not certainties; let's navigate the probabilities. Comment with your insights so we can uncover symmetries and diversities of ideas.
NATURAL GAS Ultimate Cycles cheat sheet shows sell isn't over.Those who follow us for long know that when trading Natural Gas (NG1!) we use a very distinct long-term pattern that has been in effect for more than ten years and last time (January 22 2023, see chart below) has helped us take a new short at 3.174, running so far +100% in profit:
As you see on this 1W chart, the price is now below the High Volatility Zone, but the bottom isn't in yet as there is still room before touching the 15 year Lower Lows trend-line nor has the Sine Wave reached its bottom. At the same time the 1M RSI is breaking below its own Higher Lows trend-line, which is a bearish signal. We estimate a Target Zone within 1.300 - 1.250. Note that a 1W Death Cross was formed in August 2023 and since the March 2009 formation, NG prices a bottom significantly (at least 9 months) later.

NG -Natural Gas , Don't Buy Now !!!
Technical Analysis:
- NG is still finishing a wave ((II)) in Blue in RED . We expect after a bounce in a wave ((1)) in Black
- H1 right side is down
- H4 right side is turning down
Technical Information:
- You must wait for the wave((II)) in Red to be completed in order to buy as( Position Trader))
Natgas: Dive in! 💦With its recent high, the Natgas price should have established the high of the blue wave (iii) and is now in an intermediate correction of the blue wave (iv). We have already drawn a target zone between $3.02 and $2.90 where the price should now dip deeper and reverse. Following the low of this move, it should then go beyond $4 again before the magenta wave iv is completed. However, there is also a 25% probable alternative, which already places the price in the last leg of the white wave alt. (c). In this context, the price would fall below the support level at $2.23.
