Natural gas gains ground as traders focus on the EIA report, which indicated that working gas in storage increased by 13 Bcf from the previous week.

A move above the resistance at $2.25 – $2.30 will push natural gas towards the next resistance at $2.55 – $2.60.

WTI oil pulled back from session highs as traders reacted to the EIA data. Crude inventories declined by 6.9 million barrels from the previous week, while gasoline inventories increased by 0.8 million barrels.

It should be noted that RSI is in the moderate territory despite the recent pullback, so there is plenty of room to gain additional downside momentum.
