Natural gas was slightly higher overnight due to light short covering as it consolidates above the 10 day moving average crossing at 2.860. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that additional short covering gains are possible near term.

However, closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.090 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted. If October renews the late summer decline, weekly support crossing at 1.960 is the next downside target.

Nat gas pivot point for Monday is 3.11

First resistance is the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.090
Second resistance is last Friday's high crossing at 3.424

First support is the reaction low crossing at 2.40
Second support is weekly support crossing at 1.960


it made it over 3..09, but iti's currently under, maybe i'll buy and have a stop over 3.10 ....

Where do you get your information that the rise in price was caused by a "light short covering" COT reports?

SilverRex
09-14-2009, 08:16 AM
I hope for all our sake im right about NG at least making one more sell off into the 2.40s if not hit the 1.96 target

I am betting on nov NG at this morning's 4.33 to be the top (remember I said if NG was to break above 4.32 months ago that would signal an advance to 5-6 dollars, similar to oil breaking 45 dollar a very strong trend line resistance)

if NG is to head much lower. I expect the top is in place. as Nov rolls over. it cannot roll over the chart with price higher than 4.33 because it would be a technical breakout, so let see the sell off, the friday 40 cent sell off was impressive. I still want it to get to the 2.60s to satisfy my own target.

what i want is oil to sell off to 65s and dOW to 9300s

Dinan
09-14-2009, 08:51 AM
^^ when do the charts usually roll over ??

SilverRex
09-14-2009, 08:55 AM
looks like mid sept, should be some time this week, there fore I expect nov price not to exceed 4.33 if it does it would be very temporary imo


euro is near a very critical resistance 4719,

im going to put a big short position near there then I expect a good 200+ pt sell off

SilverRex
09-14-2009, 09:00 AM
expecting the market to begin rolling over big time very soon.

thats any day now i guess.... so far soo good!

i thought 4.16 and 4.57 were more crucial?

SilverRex
09-14-2009, 09:05 AM
^ those are previous resistance which is important, but the trend line intersecting 4.57 which is now near 4.00 is more important. 4.32 is what I use many weeks ago

Dinan
09-14-2009, 09:15 AM
i don't get it, the fundamentals are they same, they have been for a while, i don't get where NG got this power...

why is HND down more ?? hnu is up 16.6 and HND down over 18%, shouldn't they be the same? or closer at least ...


well friday was something like this, and it dropped like a rock in the after noon, lets hope the same today, should sell off by 2.30

SilverRex
09-14-2009, 09:34 AM

well isn't that a good thing now, cause after 2.30pm est... HND will be trading nov contract more, so if the contango is to be reduce, nov contact shouldn't more too much and oct should move up or nov contract should start sellling off to meat oct, which is good for HND...


i don't get why the % of hnu and hnd are not close to each other...


i'm tempted with HND, ahhhhh:devil:

Me too, infact more than tempted - everytime HND has hit around 14 I have added another position. Fingers crossed- one way or another I think a big move is coming on HND and hopefully it is back into the mid to high 20's or better.

Just took another bite out of XIU hehe

Morning market order 6000 shares at $16.87 and just sold at $17.11.

=$1400 profit. So simple. :rofl:

So if the market can open -75pts and then bounce back up +40pts everyday, that would be greatly appreciated and then occasionally I'll strike gold with the +300pts day, it would be even more epic haha

:D

I'm with max_boost, took profits on XIU this morning too, bought after the drop at open and sold at 17.07. Made a few cents profit, but on lots of shares it adds up. Did that a few times last week too on XIU, Citi, AIG, and a couple others.

I still don't get wtf is going on with NG so I haven't touched it yet.

Basically I have been staying away from Horizon's commodity ETF's, I don't want to try and catch the bottom or tops, I trade with the trends, and I don't see a clear trend either way right now.

lol it's not picking the bottom,it's just buying it at the market price which just so happens to be the day lows.

I'm actively trading it now. Looking to get in and out for $1000 gains. Can't get too greedy when all you are doing is just pressing a few buttons on the computer right. ;)

The dividend is just the backup plan in case it melts down and I get stuck. It goes to paying interest on the money I am borrowing to trade XIU hahaha

investors say that with crazy volatility like NG is having in the past week is either making a TOP or BOTTOM.


with the ratio still out of whack and i hear we going to have a really cold winter, we might have seen the bottom at 2.41, lets hope not!

thats what i hear on BNN, few min ago!

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$NATGAS&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p47452312144

Natural gas closed sharply higher on Monday and above the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.106. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If October extends last week's rally, broken support crossing at 3.584 is the next upside target. Closes below last Thursday's low crossing at 2.740 would temper the near term friendly outlook in the market.

First resistance is last Friday's high crossing at 3.42
Second resistance is broken support crossing at 3.58

First support is last Thursday's low crossing at 2.74
econd support is last Friday's low crossing at 2.41

Natural gas was higher overnight as it extends Monday's rally above the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.100 confirming that a short term low has been posted. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that additional short covering gains are possible near term.

If October extends this month's rally, broken support crossing at 3.584 is the next upside target. Closes below the 10 day moving average crossing at 2.939 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

Tuesday's pivot point for nat gas is 3.26

First resistance is the overnight high crossing at 3.51
Second resistance is broken support crossing at 3.58

First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.10
Second support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 2.94

^^ yuppp, the high was just under the previous broken support like they said, so you wouldn't think it would go through (if it does) on the first attempt, now the question is how much more will it drop before it attempts to go for it again?

are you down a lot man? lets hope NG drops so you guys can get out of HND even or with smaller loss! then have a good entry for HNU :devil: :banghead: :rofl:

yeah i was about to sell with a loss, lucky i waited, i just put in sell order, cause i know NG is volatile and got lucky...


i'm a bit bullish on NG but then again nov contract is too high!


oct is moving on up, trying to reduce the contango, thats better for bulls, right? :dunno:


well if thursday's numbers are "better then expected" again, that won't be good!

^^ don't average down, not with etf's, you might get lucky but from experience going against the "force" will end up losing more....

I mean the market price for HNU/HND has been trading as if it were already at the 75/25. Meaning investors have been treating it as such today- the value of HNU HND all day has been reflective of the new trading percentage in advance.

I did, and its easy to see now as HND/HNU are trading at the same levels as earlier when NG was where it is now.

Edit** and you had me second guessing myself there but I redid the math of when I bought earlier and current levels and yes it has traded consistently all day. I think the market participants just started bidding out from this morning and built the rolling percentage into bids and asks.

Yes it is quite low- gas is such a crap shoot right now it is somewhat risky, but my risk tolerance is tempered by the fact that we still have huge contango. I'm not so much banking on just gas going down- but that the November contract will meet October- even if they meet with a larger portion of October going up, as the roll over is closer to complete we can hopefully pull gain off of a slide in November. In hopeful theory of course- October testing the earlier lows is just an added bonus. The flip side of that is of course...well, lets just not go there!

ok after having a day off (track day) time to get back to business. This will be a very important week to remember. Why? will explain in a bit.

first lets look at oil, as seen below. oil is the only chart imo that had been more predictable of late than others like NG. but the 75 still remains my top and the drop from 72.90 to 68 is a sub wave i of III. I now fully expect oil to either drop from 71 (giving a previous trendline is now resistance) or any upside to about 72 will be a shorting gift. Technically, as long as oil does not break above 73.3-73.50, the bearish outlook is very very much in tact. Stoch is over bought setting up for a big fall similar to the last drop from 72.90 to 68.

There isnt much to say about gold other than the substantial higher highs was expected all along ever since it broke out of 965 weeks ago. The upside top could be any where it is now 1020s all the way to 1189 depending on how much buying pressure it has. But remember, COT commercials are at a record short, something has to give. I dont expect gold to hold out much longer. as the dollar gains strength, short term we can expect gold to eventually come down its best only to swing trade gold near their resistance such as 1033, this morning's 1020 or 975 if when even it does reach there.

Now the most important chart of all, the dollar index. if my count is correct. we are in the final stages of a dollar bottom. Cant rule out a sudden sell off but I will expect a full retracement pushing it back up. giving the nearest big major support for dollar is at 75.90 and we are only slightly few pts away. everything is shaping out to be a good timing. Why? cyclist has called a turndate and a dollar bottom on the 17th. Either the dollar bottoms here near 76.20 or it will have not much more to go and we should be done. I've drawn the purple line from the wave i drop to about .9-1 of a pt. typically wave 5 and 1 tends to equal in length. so it only makes perfect sense it reaches near 75.90.

the key that dollar has finally bottom and the rise has started would be a break above 77.82, especially more true if it can reach above 78. looking at the recent side way grind amid lower lows. there is alot of overlapping happening. it is getting corrective, again we are near a bottom if not at one. get ready folks. and with a resurging dollar, this is where I Expect oil to further weakend and the market to eventually roll over.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk118/genmaster/dollar091609.jpg

also going to pop the dow chart just for kicks. comparing it to the last drop, dow sure looks like it has topped out on the 15th. I will expect dow to at least test the red up trend line quite soon, and upon breaking below that would be the signal that dow has finally rolled over as well imo

NG has surprised me alot, but so far the moves appears the drops are still impulsive but it slowly creeps back up appears corrective still imo.

key to watch is the weekly number 3.16, price need to close the week below this. it has gone as far as it needs to, any higher up would be dangerous.

there is an alt count that could produce the 2.41 as the bottom. but with huge supply a soon to be falling oil as well as a rising dollar. I am not sure how NG can hold up. The only thing I have to believe in is, no oil = no NG. NG does not have to rise on strong oil but certainly cannot rise without it. I am going to hold onto the little bit of my position and see how she goes.

for those that cannot stomach it, take the next sell off and reduce your position gradually.

I am sure now everyone understands the volatility behind this month's contract aftering sell down hard. swings back up are equally hard. I am guessing alot believe 2.41 is to be the ultimate bottom and alot of buying is showing up. hopefully a rising dollar will negate this soon rather than later.

Also it would be ironic as MR bernie came out saying the recession is over yesterday would be the beginning the next leg down :D
