Natural Gas Futures Weekly Chart
A steep fall in the prices during the last four weeks created uncertainty and increased the possibility of wild price swings during this week.
Despite a steep fall, initial signs of reversal are visible in the weekly chart as the body of this week’s candle is still red and smaller but still holding because of significant support at 200 DMA, which is at $3.735.
If natural gas closes this week a little above the 200 DMA in today’s trading session and the small red body of this candle turns into green could make the trend clearer.
And, despite the announcement of highly bearish on Thursday, the prices are still reversing. This could make it likely for the small red body of the weekly candle to turn green before today’s close.
