While I was writing my last , the dipped 10% from the peak, testing $4.123 on Monday.
I had mentioned two scenarios: first was a retest of the turning point, which I on Monday after the formation of a double bottom that tested the $3.520 level last Friday.
The second scenario was a reversal, after falling 10% on Tuesday.

Natural Gas Futures 15 Minutes Chart – Tuesday’s Move
On Tuesday, the natural gas futures dipped 6%. I was blamed for the 16% crash, as most of the readers ignored the sudden change in weather outlook on Tuesday from normal to warmer.
However, the prices had started a reversal much above Friday’s low, ensuring that the short squeeze will continue till this weekly closing as the weather could turn cold from Jan. 24 – Jan. 26.
I don’t mind if the readers blame me, as natural gas is the most uncertain commodity in the world. Still, they must judge the movements of the natural gas futures themselves before placing any order, even after the appearance of anyone’s analysis or the news.
I believe price swings will continue till this weekly closing. Thursday will bring some relief for the bulls after the weekly announcement that could continue to impact the natural gas price movements on Friday.
