Natural gas markets initially tried to rally during the course of the week but turned around to show signs of hesitation yet again.
The week started out somewhat strongly, but as you can see, we have pulled back from the $2 level, which of course is an area that a lot of people will be paying close attention to. And with that being said, I think it makes quite a bit of sense that we continue to just bang around in this area. If you’re a short-term trader, you may be able to go back and forth between $1.50 and the $2 level. This is a fairly well defined area that people will be paying close attention to, so I think this is very likely to be where we are going forward.
So, with that being the case, I think you have to look at this as something that’s probably more akin to a swing trading opportunity than anything else, as natural gas is very difficult to trade from a short-term perspective We are heading into spring in the United States and that’s going to have a major influence on Natural gas so do keep that in mind. I would put a line on the chart at $1.50 and look at that as your hardcore floor. This is an area that has been specifically important for multiple decades and therefore I do think that it’s a hard floor in the market. The closer we get to $1.50, the more likely I am to be a buyer of ETFs or low leverage CFDs, something like that, waiting for the next spike. That being said, you’re going to have to be very patient.
