Natural Gas futures price have come down after touching the highest level of the season at $3.627, but in this process it seems to be going to form an "Exhaustive Candle" in Weekly Chart as it did on December 28th, 2016, but the afterward moves were quite sharply downward. Now, I find the price movement repetition seems to be the next course of action. I find the Natural Gas futures price have already priced in all the supportive news flow at the current level of $3.529 and has been facing continuously a stiff resistance from the peak levels.

I find the following factors which seem to be valid reasons of beginning of a downward move from current levels:-

1. Natural Gas futures price is currently trading with a gain of 33% in a month time, which makes it a valid reason to come down sharply, especially when all the positive news flow have already been factored in at the current price.

2. Natural Gas futures price can hardly ignore the other impacting factors like inflationary level, crude price levels, gasoline production, dry natural gas production and mainly the level of US Dollar Index futures.

3. Finally, the numbers of fresh buyers, especially at the highest level are evident enough or going to disappear all of sudden.

4. If the Natural Gas futures price finds absence of fresh buyers above $3.527, it will suddenly be a beginning of a sharp downward move, soon after the announcement of impending inventory on January 25th, 2018.

5. I find the current level is much attractive for more new bears in thick number. I find the evidence of presence of bears in good number since last six hours from now.

6. Expectations for more weekly withdrawal and more colder weather from the flip-flop weather announcements seem to be fading soon.
