Analyzing the Near-Term Prospects of Natural Gas Prices Amidst Recent Market Activity
Natural Gas Prices Current Outlook
The selling since the end of January has been rather unrelenting. And that saw natural gas prices sink to a 3½-year low at one point earlier this week. A much warmer winter has been all the rage and the shutting down of the Freeport terminal in Texas at the end of last month did not help either.
Potential Reversal in Sight
- The recent market activity suggests that a reversal in natural gas prices may be imminent.
- Technical indicators show signs of a correction and a shift in bias towards buyers.
- Traders are watching the transition from the March to April futures contract for trading opportunities.
Purely from a technical standpoint, that could give some room to work with for buyers - at least in the near-term. A sudden shift in the bias could lead to a squeeze higher before traders reevaluate the situation once again. Besides that, do keep in mind that we will see the March futures contract roll over into the April futures contract (which are trading higher) later this week. So, that does add some trickiness in reading the price action ahead of the end of the month.
