Bull Hammer Breakout Above $3.38
An upside breakout will be triggered on a rally above today’s high. That would put natural gas in a position to eventually test resistance around the top of the channel. For now, the intersection of two trendline at $3.80 can be used as a proxy for the top of the channel. That price level is another price level defined by last Wednesday’s high of $3.83.
Furthermore, better clarity is provided by potential resistance around the 20-Day MA, now at $3.82, and the 50-Day MA at $3.90. Note that the 20-Day MA is falling and will continue to represent a lower price area. It becomes a more significant potential resistance zone if a similar price level is indicated by other analysis.
Rally From Bottom of Channel Targets Top of Range
There is a chance that bullish signs following the completion of an 88.6% retracement may mark the end of the bearish correction. Keep in mind that advances from current levels are counter-trend rallies within a decline trend channel. A rally above the 20-Day MA, followed by a daily close above it would be supportive of the bullish thesis. Earlier signs of strength would be indicated on a rally above Monday’s high of $3. 61. That price would be an initial short-term target following a breakout above today’s high.
Bullish Signs Need Confirmation
Despite the potential for a bullish reversal from a key support zone, a trigger above today’s high is needed for confirmation of strength. There is always a possibility that the bulls cannot maintain control and the bearish correction continues to lower prices. An area of potential support confluence is shown on the chart from $3.08 to $2.99. That price range includes the potentially significant 200-Day MA as possible support at $3.05.
