Natural Gas Market Update: Key Levels and Targets You Need to Know

Welcome to the Extreme Investor Network, your trusted source for deep insights into the stock market and trading strategies. Today, we’re diving into the latest developments in the natural gas market and what you need to watch for as we navigate through potential volatility.

Initial Short-term Target Zone Achieved

Today marked a significant milestone for natural gas, as initial targets from two rising ABCD patterns (identified in orange and purple) were reached. This aligns with the 127.2% extended target of a smaller ABCD pattern illustrated in light blue. While this could hint at a potential pullback, it’s crucial for investors to recognize the underlying support levels that could come into play before a bullish continuation.

Notably, the 3.39 swing high from January has been reclaimed, reinforcing a positive price structure after previous lower swing highs. Each breakout above a swing high historically signals lasting strength. For those actively tracking this market, keep an eye on these pivotal support levels: the 3.16 swing high and the 3.02 swing high. Just below that, we have Wednesday’s low of 2.94, which is closer to the upper boundary of the symmetrical triangle pattern. Additionally, the 20-Day Moving Average rests at 2.82, providing yet another layer of support.

Potential Pullback: Where to Look for Support

If we do experience a pullback before establishing a new trend high, the bulls are likely to protect the price above the 3.02 level. The breakout observed yesterday was not just a fluke; it was part of multiple triggers occurring simultaneously, indicating a strong bullish sentiment in the market. Since then, the positive momentum following the 3.02 breakout suggests that the path of least resistance remains upward.

For traders, an essential target lies in the 2023 peak of 3.64. This level is crucial, as it constitutes part of the current downtrend structure, and several extended targets from our rising ABCD patterns also converge around this point. Thus, a close watch on this level could present opportunities for strategic entries.

The Triangle Pattern and Its Implications

What happens next? The ongoing triangle pattern is pointing toward a potential target of 3.78. A decisive breakout above this peak would not only affirm the developing uptrend but also confirm the breakout of the triangle setup we’ve been monitoring closely.

Delving deeper, measuring the broader triangle that incorporates the 1.52 swing low suggests an even loftier target around 4.93. With that in mind, traders should prepare for scenarios that may unfold above the 3.78 level. Each target achieved is a step closer to higher prices, but as always, prudent risk management and strategic planning are essential.
