The inflationary pressure looks evident enough to repress the bullish sentiment in natural gas as the gap-down opening explained a lot this week.
Technically speaking, in a daily chart, futures struggled a lot below the 200 DMA since a breakdown on Oct.10 as the 200 DMA turned into stiff resistance.
This weekly gap-down opening confirmed this weakness as natural gas witnessed a selling spree despite some bouncing attempts by the price.
In an hourly chart, the next three hours could be decisive for the natural gas traders if futures could not hold above $5.804 up to 08:00 a.m. today. Undoubtedly a downward move below this level could encourage bears to trigger shorts with their next immediate target at $4.880.
Finally, I conclude that wild price swings could continue to follow the price movements during this week, but the overall trend could remain bearish.
