NatGas - No Moon Until DoomIn mid June, I had made a call that Natural Gas was about to rally, because price action and timing supported a move upwards.
Natural Gas - The Girl Who Hopes You Remember Her
But that call became abandoned as I enlightened and improved further, and began to note that rallies were sold off and lows kept being taken.
The trade degenerated into looking at a sweep over $3 and then a sweep over $2.9, and turned into abandonment.
Before we go far, I want to tell you that you need to keep your eyes on the situation with China.
The first thing you notice is that the propaganda machine and politicians are rarely going after "the Chinese Communist Party" but are always going after "China."
This is very strange. China is the world's only 5,000 year country and holds the largest population.
If you think about it even a little bit, the CCP would be so easy to topple, wouldn't it?
Considering the Party has killed a magnitude more of its own people in its century of murder than Hitler did among all races during his years of insanity.
And the CCP and former Chairman Jiang Zemin have the 24-year persecution and organ harvesting genocide against the Falun Dafa spiritual practice hanging over their head like the blade of a guillotine.
You have to keep this in mind and go study it. A really crucial part of the puzzle is that Xi Jinping, for all the criticism and targeting he gets/deserves, has never persecuted Falun Gong.
Instead, Xi's Anti-Corruption Campaign has been killing and ruining the Jiang Faction minions who have conducted and operated the persecution.
Xi has even protected Falun Gong in Hong Kong after fortifying his rule there with the National Security Law following the 2019 Heaven Will Eliminate the CCP protests.
All of this matters very much to the fossil fuels industry because there's a relationship between China and Russia, both in terms of production and demand, that changes greatly if something like the Ukraine War ends or drama over Taiwan suddenly enters nuclear brinkmanship.
Looking at current monthly bars, Natural Gas shows some kind of "Bear Flag."
What you're seeing, really, is an extended consolidation. This is actually potentially really bullish, to the upside, but we need price action to confirm it's time to go.
Unfortunately, July did not show us this.
The sweep of the $2 point and the lows in April was not enough to springboard the move, and that's really telling.
While many may tell you that natural gas is obviously going to a zero-handle, a look at the yearly bars shows such a thesis really does not make sense.
To the contrary, the 2020 pivot should, actually, hold. A classic super long term breakout and retrace.
Moreover, $10 was printed for literally one day in 2022, and that's very strange.
The problem with the moon turning full right now, is shown on 3 month candles, where this current little red blip only has one month left.
This is not a bullish continuation. It's important, in a bullish scenario, to see volume come in and price action to correspondingly reflect that producers want to sell at higher prices and will orca the waves for us normal people.
Moreover, in terms of the overall markets, as I post in this week's SPX call, we may be watching the equities/indexes bear market rally top for real.
SPX - The Sound of a Shattering Iceberg
As for what might be the news driver that harbingers the correction, it may very well be one of the 10 largest banks in America dumping for whatever reason emerges (watch out for commercial real estate):
Charles Schwab - The Harbinger Of The Next Crisis?
I also posted last week that it seems to me oil is about to head for a literal 3-handle.
Oil - A New Long Leg Down Soon Begins
And because we have problems with "Taiwan," which is to say the International Rules Based Order's desire to take over China via Taiwan while the Chinese Communist Party falls, I also believe that Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is set up as a probable long hedge through to the end of the year and into 2024:
TSM - Taiwan, Your Semiconductor Long Hedge
Now, in terms of natural gas ranging like it has, sharply dumping, and then beginning a new and major bull impulse, this is not without grounds, for this would be a fractal of the 2020 COVID dump-to-recovery play that saw a doubling into year end:
If this were to play out, we'd see something like $1.60 natural gas into $4.8 by the end of the year or Q1 2024.
After that, we may really see prices that exceed $10 and begin to flirt with all time highs at $15.
The fundamental factors that would cause a 10 bagger on a commodity that literally equates to most of the world's electricity production are fairly significant.
Especially considering "climate change" (lol "climate boiling") is attempting to be used as the pretext/excuse to export the Jiang-CCP Zero COVID social credit system worldwide in a way that far exceeds what was done during the pandemic.
And so for the call, I would say the "short signal" with the markets hanging out in thin air at present, while we're about to begin a new quarterly shift, is a break of the $2.4 level.
You'd want to short that break with a target meaningfully under $1.8 and then cover it without getting greedy.
At that point, it's time to look for longs, and if you're a long term position trader, this may be one of the best opportunities you'll come across.
But it may not really unfold until next year. And this assumes that my analysis is correct.
Right now, daily price action is just showing failure swings, but nobody has stepped in yet to give it the push down the stairs it really needs.
BOIL rises into reversal territory SHORTBOIL as a triple leveraged ETF of natural gas futures- has high volatility
which can translated to high profits for traders who can accurately harness
that energy .On the 2H chart in the time since the reverse split, the price has mostly
ranged up and down between the first upper and lower VWAP lines of the
VWAP anchored to the high in May. Occasionally it has ranged outside those bounds
and then reverts to the mean VWAP. Price is presently at or near the first upper
derivation line where it typically pivots down. The zero lag MACD is suggestive
of an impending pivot down before any signs of it and thus showing bearish divergence.
The mass index is not yet suggesting a reversal. The shorter HMA 56 rising significantly
above the HMA210 is suggestive of overextension into the overbought overvalued
zones of the chart.
Overall, I will put BOIL on watch.
Once a reversal is confirmed I will either short BOIL or long KOLD. Leveraged funds being
what they are and mathematics fixed and hard, shorting a levearged ETF is a faster fall
than its rise so the short position will be my first choice.
BOIL ( 3x Nat Gas ETF) Reverses to UpsideOn shown on the 15 minute chart with a VWAP band/line setup anchored to the July 1st
pivot high. BOIL is in a VWAP breakout since bottoming mid-day July 17th. Confirming
the reversal are the Price Volume Trend Oscillator printing a green histogram and an
upgoing signal line as well as the zero-lag MACD with upgoing parallel lines crossing
the zero-horizontal line. Price has crossed over the mean VWAP. On the dual time frame
RSI indicator both the lower and higher RS lines ( blue and black) are above the 50 level
and the lower time frame is higher highlighting bullish momentum.
I will take a long trade targeting based on the VWAP lines first $65 and then $68. I will open
equal amounts of call options striking the targets with expirations on July 28th. I seek a
100% ROI in the next 6-8 trading days. On an intraday basis, I may enter a low DTE call option
at the low of day ( typically mid-morning) and exit at the high of day the same or next day.
Natural Gas - The Girl Who Hopes You Remember HerSince the end of February, and more accurately mid-March, the volatility on Natural Gas has all but disappeared.
This is a good thing if you're bullish, because it's both consolidation and indicates accumulation.
It's also a good thing from a sentiment/narrative perspective because everyone has all but forgotten trying to gamble on BOIL.
Moreover, it's strange for Natural Gas to trade so cheaply in light of the situation with the conflict between NATO and Vladimir Putin and how it impacts both China and Xi Jinping and Europe.
I've said in many of my previous natural gas calls that $10 wasn't the top. And if that supposition is true, the fact that we're trading at such an enormous discount for so long is really notable.
Just look how big the discount is on the monthly:
One of the core tenants of 2023's thus far price action being a likely bottom is that Natty has swept out the $2 mark twice, the last time in April.
Since, it's then made a series of higher lows and now looks certain to make higher highs.
Moreover, on the weekly we see any red bars are continually traded through to the upside by the MM.
All of this comes while the algorithm has been playing around the December of 2020 monthly pivot.
The fact that $2 has been protected so strictly and that the high of the year was set at only $3, which it touched for only a day, a Friday, to start March tells us that the target is more likely to be up than it is to be down.
It is very hard for me to tell you if Natty is going to do $3.2, $3.5, $4, or $4.5. It may just double top at $3 and then go back to $1.8.
What I can say is that getting over $4 ought to have a high degree of resistance. However, if the algs push it through, it's going to take off and take off in a hurry.
One thing that is true is that you really should not be bearish on energy.
I also believe that the Nasdaq in specific is about to correct so violently that it's going to set a new low.
We may be in a scenario right now where we see something like:
Equities correct
USD up
Energy up
Metals up
10Y yield up
VIX up
Instead of the usual everything down and everything up all at once shenanigans.
The world is running out of energy. Oil is not a bear market.
Worldwide and US production peaked in 2018 and hasn't come back.
A lot of the "oil" that is included in daily production numbers isn't actually crude oil but is "natural gas liquids" and other lesser substances.
In a climate where mankind is using more and more electricity and temperatures are getting hotter and hotter, there is no reason to believe that natural gas should stay this cheap.
How hot will July, August, and September be in North America?
Natural gas _is_ electricity. It's also plastics. It's also what the places that get winter use to fuel their furnaces to stay alive.
Are you really expecting $1.50?
BOIL- Go Long SetupBOIL has had a busy month with the resurgence of natural gas prices and the reverse
split six trading days ago. I analyze it as having further upside. On the 30-minute chart
I have added two anchored VWAPs to the left on separate pivot points. This serves
to make out dynamic support and resistance. Price has crossed over the mean VWAP zone
which is between the heavy black lines. In confluence with that, it has crossed over the
POC line of the volume profile represents the price point with the highest total trading volume
over the visible time interval. Above price are the two targets being one and two standard
deviations above the mean aVWAP. The volume indicator shows increasing relative volume
overall as a sign of accumulation which generally results in price appreciation from
the demand trend. I will set the stop loss at $.10 below the POC line and take a long
position. One third of the position will come off upon each target advancing the stop loss to
above the entry and making the trade risk-free. Another third with TP2 and finally the
The remaining third will run on a trailing stop so I do not spend time micromanaging a smaller
position. I believe that my overall bullish bias will be rewarded yet again over the near term.

BOIL / KOLD - a leveraged natural gas oscillatorHere on a dialy chart I have plotted the ratio of BOIL share price to that of KOLD, its leveraged
inverse. They both react to and reflect natural gas prices which are currently rising. I have also
plotted the supply demand indicator from Luxalgo and a better RSI indicator. As can be seen
on the chart the ratio ascended from relative weakness last fall into a long head and shoulder
pattern and then descended into its present range. The RSI bottomed abot 5/4/23 and
increasing since then. I see the present pattern as similar to what occurred last fall.
My thesis is that I should buy BOIL now as its price ascends until the ratio hits the supply
zone above and then flip by selling and buying KOLD instead. I see this as essentially a natural
gas buy and sell oscillator. To have more frequent trades and higher overall profits,
I would need to decrease the timeframe for the analysis down to 1-3 hours and follow
the ratio trending accordingly. At present, I will continue to accumulate further long positions
in BOIL
BOIL a scalp trade LONGBOIL had trended down from a high about May 19 until June 2nd when it reversed and gained
for one week before resuming its trend down. This can be seen on the half hour chart. The
The attached RS indicator shows the decreasing strength trending down from 65 to 40 over the
past few trading days. Upon drawing trendline support and resistance. I note that a descending
or falling wedge pattern is evident. This is a bullish chart pattern predictive of a price action
reversal. A volume profile is added to the chart showing the highest volume of trading at
the POC line corresponding to a price of $2.58.
I will trade a long trade on BOIL by way of a buy stop at $ 2.59 with a stop loss at $2.57.
The target will be the top of the high volume area of the volume profile @ $2.74.
This trade will risk $0.02 compared with a potential profit of $ 0.15 yielding a reward to
risk of 7.5. As it turns out, I did this exact same trade this past Wednesday June 7rh.
Besides 100 shares I will buy one call option striking $2.50 with an expiration of 6/30
to leverage the trade.
Is KOLD getting chilled out ?KOLD's trend down may be continuing. They say weather climate conditions are for things
heating up. this trader concurs albeit from one of the traditional hottest places in the entire
USA and so with that bias come hell or bitter winter chill. On the chart, a persistent trend
down for KOLD underneath the Ichimoku cloud of the Luxalgo indicator is easily seen.
Luxalgo's Bollinger Band oscillator shows that price is riding down along the lower BB band
without any outlook for a reprive. Furthermore, price is well below the high volume
area of the volume profile and in the lowermost bands of the anchored VWAP. On the MACD
indicator, the MACD and signal are both trending down and well below zero.
In short, the value of KOLD is crashing down. Any traders long are best to consider liquidating
while any value remains. I am not long KOLD and happily continue my long positions in
BOIL, the inverse of it until analysis dictates otherwise.
UNG Natural Gas ( Unleveraged) ETF LongOn the 4 hour chart- UNG had a head and shoulder pattern in May from which it descended
in a gradual fashion from May 25 to June 2nd and then reversed upward. The reversal occurred
at two standard deviations below the mean anchored VWAP and so deep in the oversold
area. Price has crossed over the higher VWAP line and so is in the band between the mean VWAP
and one standard deviation below it. Volumes have been persistent. Importantly, the zero
lag MACD shows the lines in parallel and crossing the zero horizontal line from underneath.
I see UNG properly set up for a long trade. Fundamentally, the hot summer may bring
increased natural gas consumption to make electricity for air conditioning. The dam disaster
in Ukraine may close down the biggest nuclear plant in Europe because of cooling
lakes potentially compromised. Natural gas may be an alternative fuel to make electricity.
Compressed NG from the US may become more important to Europe, especially since the
Nordic Stream pipeline issue developed. All in all, I think natural gas prices are likely to rise.
