Natural Gas Price Forecast – natural gas opens the week with momentum

Natural gas markets rallied a bit during the day on Monday, using the $2.90 level as support. By bouncing from there, it looks as if the market is trying to find its footing, and perhaps reach towards the $2.95 level, and then possibly even reach towards the psychologically and structurally important level above there.

Natural gas market look rather healthy to kick off the week on Monday, as the US dollar fell. The market approached the $2.95 level, an area that has been resistance before. I believe that the market will probably continue to find reasons to press higher, perhaps reaching towards the $3.00 level. I think that level will continue to be important though, and I would be a bit surprised if we can break above there. In the short term, I think the market will try that level that every time we get there, it’s pummeled by fracking companies that are suddenly very comfortable selling at those levels. Because of this, I think we will continue to see a lot of selling in that region, so although I think we do go higher, I believe that we are probably going to see somewhat limited gains. I think it’s probably easier to sell at the $3.00 level than it is to buy at these levels, so I remain on the sidelines. However, if you are short-term scalper, this market has done quite well for you over the last several days as we see such interest at the $2.90 level underneath from the long side.

I believe that the market will continue to see a lot of volatility, and if you have the ability to sit at your computer and trade short-term charts, this might be one of the better markets out there for you to deal with.
