Natural Gas: Watching For Triangle or Bullish ButterflyEverything is pretty much shown in the chart. I have heard Natural Gas is hard to technically analyze but in my limited experience patterns seem to work pretty well.
---If price continues to the top trendline, I will look to see if it forms in 3 waves. If so, I will be more confident this is a triangle and will look to long around the E point (perhaps right after a break of the lower trendline)
---If price instead goes down from here I will watch the rectangle which is the completion of the potential Bullish Butterfly pattern.
---- Note : both of these scenarios can play out concurrently, which would make me feel even better for this trade!
I am always happy to receive any comments and/or feedback in my ideas. Good luck!
Natural Gas May Complete a Short Term AB=CD PatternEarly this morning Natural Gas broke the trendline and has begun to consolidate. Thus I am short-term bearish on Natural Gas and looking for sell set-ups.
I usually stay off of the 15 minute for trade ideas but as this is coherent with my short term analysis for this pair I will look to take this trade. The bearish AB=CD pattern may complete around the .5 retracement of this impulse down which would be a nice location for the short.
Once in the trade I will watch the recent bottom around 3.34 to depend whether I will take profit or hold for further targets (3.297 or beyond).

NATGAS Weekly - Gap filled below ..on to the one aboveStrong weekly candle filled the larger gap below from Nov 28 as well took back the 200 MA 3.30 (the caveat is there is still a smaller one Nov 21 2.852 - 2.891 but I expect it will wait for shoulder season if it fills since we've moved up for now)
Tested 20MA with a convincing push up = bias remains BULL
50MA crossed above 100MA
20MA closing in on 200MA
Up trend tested Nov 7 higher low 2.546 within pennies of the prior higher low Aug 8 - 2.523 imo qualifies as a double bottom - same Nov7 low was first touch & test test of 100MA support
Targeting gap to 3.67 and will re-assess price action/fundamentals but ultimately think we see $4 touched before shoulder season
Inventories/Production tight & increasing exports/coal converters are the main fundamental drivers but weather always a wild card
