Technical Analysis
Technically, the main bullish trend in the medium term and along a slope line dominates the natural gas trading movement, as shown in the attached chart for a period of time (daily), and it is also supported by its continuous trading above its simple moving average for the previous 50 days. In addition to that, we note the arrival of relative strength indicators to areas that are very oversold in selling operations, and exaggeratedly compared to the price movement, which suggests the beginning of a positive divergence in them, so that the price is trying in its recent trading to search for a bullish bottom to take as a base that might help it gain positive momentum to help it recover and rise again.
Therefore, we still expect the rise of natural gas to return during its upcoming trading, provided that the support level 7.254 remains intact, especially if its stability returns above the resistance level 8.054, after which it will target the pivotal resistance level 9.600.
