Nymex Natural Gas (NG)
Intraday bias in Natural Gas remains neutral for the moment and some more consolidation might be seen. Nevertheless short term outlook will remain bullish as long as 4.351 minor support holds. Above 5.120 will bring resumption of whole rise form 2.409 and should target 38.2% retracement of 13.64 to 2.409 at 6.7 next. However, considering bearish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD, break of 4.351 will indicate that a short term top is formed and will bring deeper pull back instead.
In the bigger picture, medium term fall from 13.69 is treated as part of the long term consolidation pattern that started at 15.78 back in 2005. The whole consolidation might have completed at 2.409 after meeting 100% projection of 15.78 to 4.593 from 13.69 at 2.50. We’ll prefer the bullish case as long 55 days EMA (now at 3.842 holds) and expect the current rise from 2.409 to extend further to 61.8% retracement of 13.64 to 2.409 at 9.38 in medium term.
