Natural Gas Futures 15 Minutes Chart
In the 15-minutes chart, the natural gas futures are sustaining above the 200 DMA since this weekly opening looks ready to fill the opening gap in today’s trading session as the global commodities and equities will face extreme volatility soon as the Fed opens its cards tonight.
Undoubtedly if the natural gas futures fill this opening gap, bulls could move against all odds above $3.586 before this weekly closing, as the weekly withdrawal could be supportive for them this Thursday.
I conclude that the demand for natural gas could surge during the next five days before turning low as the cold air will retreat to the northern region this weekend.
Undoubtedly, the natural gas futures could not avoid a technical reversal from the lows tested this week despite the odds of demand and supply mismatch.
