While analyzing the formations created by natural gas futures in different time frames, I observed that the presence of a shooting star in the monthly chart looks evident enough for a price breakout from here.
Natural gas futures maintain above this long-term support at $2.794, bulls could attempt to test their immediate target at $3.288. On Wednesday, natural gas futures felt some selling pressure before the announcement of upcoming inventory on Thursday. But the weather is expected to remain mild across the mid-west and the east coast, which has put downward pressure on prices, but cold weather in the west could continue to move east, helping buoy prices.
No doubt that this rally could be a short-term rally, but the long-term trend of natural gas still looks bullish since the formation of a bullish crossover in a monthly chart. I find that any downward move above the level of $2.651 will provide an opportunity to go long. On the other hand, any breakout move above $3.2 could attract sellers to come forward.
