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.

Natgas looks ready for an extended Bull Run towards 5-6$
A few Points:
- RSI divergence: higher lows on the RSI versus lower lows on weekly candles;
- This weeks' candle was a truncated wedge, very eager Bulls that bought before a lower low was established
- Strong magnet back to Lockdown lows
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.

Will the Perfect Storm in Natural Gas Markets Lead to a New EnerIn an era of unprecedented global energy transformation, the natural gas market stands at a critical juncture where geopolitical tensions, technological advancement, and infrastructure development converge to create a potentially game-changing scenario. The ongoing Middle East crisis, particularly the Israel-Iran tensions threatening the Strait of Hormuz, could reshape energy flows and trigger a cascade of effects across interconnected global energy markets, potentially forcing a fundamental reassessment of natural gas's role in the global energy mix.
A seismic shift is approaching in North American markets with LNG Canada's anticipated 2025 launch, which promises to revolutionize Canadian gas pricing dynamics and global market access. This transformation coincides with an extraordinary surge in potential demand from AI and data centers, projected to consume between 3 and 30 billion cubic feet per day of additional North American gas. Such technological evolution, coupled with Asia's growing appetite for cleaner energy sources, suggests a structural reformation of traditional gas flow patterns and pricing mechanisms.
The convergence of these factors presents both challenges and opportunities for market participants. While weather patterns and storage dynamics continue to influence short-term price formation, longer-term strategic considerations are increasingly dominated by infrastructure development, market access, and geopolitical risk management. As the industry adapts through strategic hedging, infrastructure investment, and consolidation, the natural gas market appears poised for a period of dynamic evolution that could fundamentally alter its global value proposition and establish a new paradigm in energy markets.
Are there new lows coming for natural gas prices?Are there new lows coming for natural gas prices?
In my last article on the gas market, I predicted a possible decline in prices starting in October and the possibility that they could reach new annual lows. This is because of the consistently above-average temperatures we are experiencing.
As predicted, the current quarter is showing a sharp drop in gas prices, with a 20 percent drop from the previous quarter.
Analysis of weather models is critical to understanding possible future trends. If numerical forecast models show an increase in heating degree days (HDDs) above normal, this may indicate an increase in gas prices.
Conversely, if HDDs are lower than normal, we may see a decrease in gas prices.
Natural gas production exceeds preferences
Although there are still some trouble spots, the overall situation is not as bad as one might think. Although natural gas production exceeds the preferences of most consumers, there is still quite strong structural demand.
Over the past 5 years, average demand has been about 91 billion cubic feet per day, and net exports have reached an all-time high. In addition, natural gas reserves are expected to increase by only 5 percent in September, the lowest rate in six years.
Looking at the latest production trends and weather forecasts, there is a decrease in the storage surplus. By Sept. 26, the annual storage surplus is expected to shrink by 121 billion cubic feet, and the surplus compared to the five-year average will decrease by 178 during the same period.
The International Energy Agency shared good predictions regarding the future of global electricity demand. According to the World Energy Outlook 2024, demand is expected to double by 2050, which is a faster growth than originally expected. This will be mainly due to the ongoing energy transition in China.
It is important to remember that thermal power plants are still widely used and dependent on natural gas to produce power, so this news is encouraging for natural gas markets.
Electricity demand will continue to grow
According to the International Energy Agency, electricity demand will continue to grow at a high rate, with an increase equivalent to adding a new Japan to the world each year. China will account for most of the new demand, with two-thirds of the total over the past 10 years.
The agency recently revised its forecast upward, predicting 6 percent growth over last year. This is due to the construction of new data centers and the increasing use of air conditioning units, as well as strong expansion in China.
Let us now examine our technical scenario for natural gas. We expect a slight increase in prices followed by new lows around 2.
If you are looking to trade this instrument, it is essential to choose the right one. You can bet on a gas sector stock, an ETF or a futures.
Each instrument has its advantages and disadvantages, so you need to consider carefully before deciding which one to use.

Nat Gas: Heating Up into the WinterBrief Overview on Natural Gas
Natural Gas is a commodity generally traded on the premise of weather forecasts indicating cooler or warmer seasons. This allows traders to speculate on demand for the product as it generally trades higher with cooler temperatures. Today we are looking at the weekly chart.
Thesis: Technical Analysis Pointing to a Bounce
This analysis is mainly focused on the lasting demand zone that Natural Gas time and time again respects and typically bounces from. The weekly chart points to the likelihood that the R/R is favorable for a long position at these levels in the 2.20's. Not only do we see NG tap back into this heavy demand zone, but we also can see a Cup & Handle on the weekly chart signaling potential greater upside.
Demand Zone offers strong R/R as it dips back in to these levels.
Cup & Handle can represent even further upside, but will rely on the initial rebound to prompt the possibility of it playing out.
There is also a trendline (not pictured) that is supporting the current bounce we are seeing today from the 2.18/2.19 level. It is important to note that the commodity has been seeing higher lows since the Spring.
Lastly, a tap of fundamentals play into this idea as well. Though winter demand is always priced in, this year forecasts have repeatedly painted the picture that this winter will be historically mild. Due to these forecasts implying less seasonal demand for Nat Gas, a shift in the shorter-term and more accurate models as we approach the winter season will sharply move the price of Nat Gas and represents that the current price is truly pricing in a very mild winter. This basis supports the idea of great R/R on this LONG trade idea.
Disclosure
I am currently in a long position in Natural Gas after entering on the Friday (10/18) Close
My position includes: AMEX:UNG Credit Spread 13/12P , AMEX:BOIL common shares
If this thesis holds up, I would plan to roll my credit spread contracts into further expirys

NATURAL GAS on a Bearish Leg. Still a sell signal.Natural Gas (NG1!) gave us an excellent buy opportunity last time (August 29, see chart below) and easily hit our 2.900 Target:
Once it hit the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level (blue) it formed a Lower High at the top of the Triangle pattern and got rejected. The previous Lower High rejection that started the Bearish Leg, bottomed on the Higher Lows trend-line of the Triangle on the 0.786 Fib (black trend-line).
As a result we remain bearish on NG, targeting 2.145 (0.786 Fib).

Natural Gas Trading: Strategies Around Key Levels 15-10-2024Navigating Natural Gas Trading: Strategies Around Key Levels
Natural gas trading can be both exciting and challenging, especially when you have clear reference points like your mid-point and upper/lower levels. In this blog, we'll explore strategies to navigate the current market with a mid-point of 208.50, an upper level of 209.90, and a lower level of 207.10.
Understanding the Key Levels
Mid-Point (208.50): This serves as the equilibrium level in the market. Prices often oscillate around this point, making it a significant area to watch for potential trades.
Upper Level (209.90): This is your resistance level. If prices approach this point, it may indicate an opportunity to go short, anticipating a reversal.
Lower Level (207.10): This serves as your support level. If prices test this area, consider going long, expecting a bounce back.
Trading Strategy
1. Price Action Analysis
Before making any trades, observe the price action around these levels. Watch for candlestick patterns, volume spikes, and other indicators that suggest market sentiment.
If Price Approaches 209.90: Look for signs of resistance. A reversal pattern (like a double top or shooting star) may suggest that the price is likely to drop. Consider placing a short trade with a stop-loss above this level.
If Price Approaches 207.10: Watch for bullish signals. A strong bullish candlestick or a reversal pattern could indicate that the price will bounce back. In this case, consider a long position with a stop-loss just below this level.
2. Risk Management
Always prioritize risk management. Set your stop-loss orders based on your risk tolerance. For example, if you're trading near the upper or lower levels, consider setting your stop-loss a few ticks outside these levels to avoid getting stopped out by minor fluctuations.
3. Monitoring Market Conditions
Natural gas prices can be highly influenced by external factors like weather, supply reports, and geopolitical events. Stay updated on relevant news and reports to make informed trading decisions.
Conclusion
Trading natural gas around key levels requires a solid understanding of price action and market sentiment. By using your mid-point, upper, and lower levels strategically, you can identify potential trade opportunities. Remember to incorporate risk management to protect your capital. Whether the price moves towards the upper level or the lower level, having a plan in place will help you navigate the market with confidence.
Dear Traders,
As you navigate the dynamic world of trading, it’s crucial to remain vigilant about the financial risks involved. Here are key considerations to keep in mind:
Market Volatility: Financial markets, including natural gas, can be highly volatile. Prices can change rapidly due to unexpected news or economic data. Always be prepared for sudden fluctuations.
Leverage Risks: Trading with leverage can amplify both gains and losses. While it allows for larger positions, it also increases the risk of significant financial loss. Use leverage cautiously and understand the implications.
Risk Management: Implementing a solid risk management strategy is essential. Set stop-loss orders to limit potential losses and only risk a small percentage of your capital on any single trade.
Emotional Discipline: Trading can evoke strong emotions, leading to impulsive decisions. Maintain discipline and adhere to your trading plan, even in challenging market conditions.
Market Research: Stay informed about market trends, economic indicators, and geopolitical events that may impact prices. Informed traders make better decisions.
Education and Experience: Continuous learning is vital. Consider practicing with a demo account to hone your skills before committing real capital.
Consult a Financial Advisor: If you're uncertain about your trading strategy or financial situation, seeking advice from a qualified financial advisor can provide valuable insights.
Trading can be rewarding, but it carries inherent risks. Stay informed, manage your risks carefully, and trade responsibly.
Wishing you successful trading!
