Natural Gas "UGAZ DGAZ"SO we did fill the gap. I am thinking that we will touch that red line which corresponds to a couple bottoms last year. The question is whether or not we finally start the winter rally or simply set up to fill that last gap. Today a subscription that I get, had an update for XLR (the general energy ETF). Their chart showed the general energy fund dropping until January 18th. Before this came today, I was toying around with the cycle analysis tool and was trying to find a pattern in the cycles (if there were any). Not really an easy task with NG. BUT...I did have that tentative cycle showing a bottom on....coincidently....January 18th. That made me go HMMMM. Is NG going to have a very late winter rally. I think I will hold off on this trade and just watch the price action. If I am correct....THIS TIME....then NG could drop way down there and have a short by rapid winter rally. Perhaps that has something to do with the 10 to 1 reverse split for UGAZ coming up on the 20th.
above is a longer term view of NG with my cycle analysis. It looks pretty fitting.

What to do with NATGAS going forwardNATGASUSD
Double top testing green fib chamber rejected and dropping to bottom of yellow fib chamber. While 2.5 or below is possible it looks as though a double bottom may form at around 2.583 or so matching up with the price in February.
Looking for confirmation of a bounce before riding AMEX:UGAZ all the way back up to an almost guaranteed 3.0 or so.
Be careful and take extra caution when trying to catch a falling knife. Look for confirmation of a double bottom and miss a little profit rather than miss the trend entirely and get cut.
Tentative long if we bounce here. If there is no bounce we may be seeing just the start of a natural gas bear run.
Natural Gas "Historical Evidence discovered"Yep. The title says it all. I have found evidence to support what I believe is future upward price movement over the next 2 months. After many many hours of exhaustive research, I can say with 100% certainty, backed up by years and years of historical data that......IT GETS COLD IN THE WINTER! Just some light humor.
So I have two price targets for this upward move. This is not to be confused with what I think is going to happen by February (a much higher high at least $4.10), I'm talking short term...2 weeks from now before a decent pullback. The first is for Natural gas to reach the 100% measured move of "W" at $3.30, which happened in the beginning of November. There is a pretty good resistance level there as well. The 2nd price target, which is what I am hoping for and which makes a little more sense to me, is the 100% measured move of the first part of this current "Y" wave that began last week. That is the FIB that is colored purple. There is a gap to be filled there AND, a 50% typical correction for this WXY wave move would bring it down to retest the trend line and also stay within the yellow path.
As far as how this would equate to UGAZ prices.....I really don't know yet. I watch the NG chart to get an idea of when we are close to a trend change for UGAZ. I will be watching the structure on the daily to try to figure out where we are in the wave count and weather or not we are close to a warm weather reversal. GL
NGAS Short Entry PlanI'm looking to short Natty Gas soon and need to see just a few more things before I'm satisfied.
We formed a high-test on the monthly with May's close and that's awesome confirmation of the large weekly head and shoulder pattern. I'm now watching for a head and shoulder pattern on the daily and a pullback to the fibs for the right shoulder. That is where I'll look to enter.
The dirty deets:
Watching for a bounce off of the 200ema between now and friday to send price back up to the fibs and right shoulder area.
I'm looking to enter in that area (drew ideal position setup) with around a 5:1 reward:risk ratio to Target #1.
Target #1 sits at the key weekly November '16 low with Target #2 way down at the major March 16' low. It won't take too much effort to get to the first target, but the second target is going to take a bit more oomph. Just need to wait and see what price action develops once we reach that area to determine the probability of hitting that second target.

NATTY possible abcde correctionJust a quick observation here. This looks like a corrective structure. I'd LOVE to see the top part of trend line hit, BUT high volume was unable to break the "bigger tend line top" so maybe the fall starts now?
I still think "natty" has one more leg down before a major buy.
Natty - Don't fish.There is zero reason to bottom fish here yet. This is where patience on a long entry will save you a lot of headaches. There is still no clear divergence (RSI & MACD) indicating that this "could" be the bottom.
As you can see, the "rally" we had this morning is all gone, suggesting another leg lower. I've updated the natty chart with a clearer channel. I'm waiting on better signals for an entry.
Natural Gas. Looking it over. How it looks to me.Natural gas is such a great clean source of energy. A favorite for homes. Likely someday will power cars as well. Hard to believe longer term it will not become more expensive. But currently clearly in a shorter term downtrend (down about 5% today so far).
Looking at the daily chart it looks like we have already had a 5 wave up move and are now are in a abc correction. IFFFFFF correct when the correction is over I would expect at least one more 5 wave up. The colored target box seems is where I think the correction may well stop. Will be watching for positive candles or down trend line break.
Hope this will be helpful. Take care. Have a good week.
