See the rest of the technical analysis on Natgas from 29 August, below:

  • Natural gas is one of the most watched commodity in the financial world, these days.
  • Some would claim that there is some news driven hype around this asset, and it may be time to look at technical hints, such as a failed breakout above resistance and the inability, so far, to capture the $10 round number
  • The volume profile and the EMA20 on the daily timeframe, is guiding this short trade idea, whereby the reward vs risk, makes the trade legit, IMHO
  • To mitigate risk, professional traders typically scale out of trades with a number of partial profit taking and exits. I show where to consider doing that according to the technical junctions shown in the below technical analysis video for natural gas futures , applicable starting 29 August, 2022.
