Nat-Gas DAILY Price CHART (Sep 27 – DEC 19, 2019) Zoomed IN
Looking at the daily chart, we notice on Dec 9 natural gas rallied to a higher trading zone 2.210 -2.340. However, the price failed in multiple occasions to move to the higher trading zone, reflecting that some sellers were still holding their positions.
A close below the low end of the zone may cause more sellers to join the market. This may lead the price towards $2.124. Further close below this level could mean more bearishness towards $2.033. In that scenario, the weekly support levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) should be kept in focus as some sellers could take profit at these points.
On the flip-side, any failure in closing below the low end of the zone highlights seller’s hesitation. This may cause a price reversal towards the high end of the zone. Further close above the high end opens the door for buyers to correct the downtrend move and push natural gasde towards the vicinity of $2.490-82. That said, the weekly resistance levels marked on the chart should be watched closely.
