UNG trade ideas
Closing profitable UNG positionUNG has hit the designated target designated on Dec 20, 2024.
Though there is potential for further long-term upside, the price has now reached previous previous high set in May/June 2024. As well, it is at the upper end of a parallel channel as shown.
I am closing the position at a profit of 37.6%. I plan to re-enter if/when price hits bottom of channel, or current resistance flips to support.

Update on UNG longUpdating my previous long trade initiated when UNG broke through the 200 DSMA two weeks ago.
At the same time, the 200 DSMA turned upwards after having been in a downtrend for over two years.
Note also the huge increase in volume since the 200 DSMA was breached.
My current target is former tops formed in May/June 2024 in the 21.00 to 22.00 area. (I would close at least 50% of my current position and raise my stop in that case.)

New Setup: UNGUNG : I have a swing trade setup signal. I'm looking to enter long if the stock can manage to CLOSE above the last candle high(BUY). If triggered, I will then place a stop-loss below (SL) and a price target above it(TP-50%,move SL to breakeven), then using the close below the 10SMA as my trailing stop loss. **Note: The above setups will remain valid until the stock CLOSES BELOW my set stop-loss level(SL).
UNG Testing Critical Levels! Will the Trend Continue or Reverse?30-Minute Timeframe Analysis
* Trend Overview: UNG is recovering from previous lows, forming an upward trendline. The price recently tested resistance at $17.29, showing hesitation for further upside. However, keep in mind that the market can gap up or down at the open, which could significantly shift the dynamics of this analysis. Traders must re-evaluate and adapt to price action as the session unfolds.
* Key Levels:
* Support: $16.50 and $15.47 are key levels to watch if the price pulls back, especially after any gap down.

* Indicators:
* MACD: Slight bearish divergence indicates a potential pullback or consolidation, but gaps can quickly invalidate this signal.
* Volume: Lower momentum suggests caution; any gap up or down must be supported by a surge in volume for confirmation.

UNG on the upswing?UNG has now closed above the 200 Simple DMA for the last five days; a feat last achieved over two years ago.
As well, the 200 SDMA is also turning green, indicating possible long-term bullish momentum.
Next resistance is around 17.00 at previous swing high. A breach above that should clear the way to price discovery at 21.00 area.
Polar Vortex TradeEvery winter in the Eastern United States,
the polar vortex trade becomes the big winner in Natural Gas
once the weather services identify the timing.
Looking at UNG, you can see on the chart the cup basing pattern proceeding the move,
and this weekend you can note the 20% upside breakout in price, as traders commit to price.
The move in Natural Gas Futures shows a similar % move, rising sharply from $3 to $4
My advise here for those who might wish enter long on UNG
is to wait for a sharp pullback back towards $15 Support
It may take a while to get there, but risk reward
favors a continued sharp upside seasonal move,... that looks to be just getting started.

UNG: Why I Chose UNG for Tomorrow’s Trading - Dec. 13, 2024After reviewing today’s market setup, I decided to focus on UNG (United States Natural Gas Fund) for tomorrow’s trading. Here’s a breakdown of my thought process and key observations:
Key Reasons for Choosing UNG:
1. Clear Technical Levels:
* $15.00 is a significant level of interest with strong bullish positioning reflected in options data (highest positive GEX level). A breakout above this level could signal a continuation of the upward trend.
* $14.50 serves as a critical support level, with heavy Put interest (-66.77% GEX). A breakdown below this could lead to bearish momentum.
*
2. Options Sentiment:
* Calls dominate with a 133.7% GEX skew, indicating strong bullish sentiment in the options market. This provides an opportunity for both momentum trades to the upside or a contrarian approach if the level fails.
*
3. Volatility Setup:
* With an IVR of 39.8 and IVx average at 69.6, the stock presents a good balance of volatility for active trading without being overly erratic. This makes it an attractive candidate for controlled setups.
*
4. Risk/Reward Profile:
* The proximity to key levels ($15.00 resistance and $14.50 support) creates a manageable risk/reward ratio. I can set tight stop-losses while targeting the next significant GEX levels.
*
5. Sector Opportunity:
* Natural gas has been moving with increased volume and volatility recently. This sectoral activity often translates to heightened trading opportunities.
Questions for Fellow Traders:
* What’s your opinion on UNG for tomorrow?
* Do you see the bullish momentum continuing, or do you think there’s a higher likelihood of a breakdown below $14.50?
* Are there any fundamental or macroeconomic factors I might be overlooking that could impact natural gas tomorrow?
Let me know your thoughts! Trading is always better when we share ideas and refine our setups together. 😊
UNG ETF for NATURAL GAS - READ THE NOTES IMPORTANTNow Nat Gas is trading for $2.3 per BTU
In Europe it sells much higher between $70 and $100 per BTU
The Biden Administration over regulated the Nat Gas industry in the USA, and many users of the commodity switched to other fuels like Coal for example and Solar and Wind. Ineficient.
NAT GAS coupled with Scrubbing Technology is litterally 99.9% clean. Dipnts makes great scrubbers.
Now Nat Gas moves in four year cycles, well as you can see when Biden took office it was operating normally at $130 for the UNG.
Finnaly everyone realized that NAT GAs from America is the way to go.
One Liquified Gas Tanker per month keeps the lights on in London.
Gas then is obviously the way to go, not wind nor solar.
EEUU had been supplied by Iran through QATAR, this is theoretical but super likely. Trump will reopen our energy industry, but the damage the Biden White House made is expensive. We could be facing shortages, as gas storage deposit have been partially depleted. and Production costs are indeed $7 per BTU at $7 UNG should trade at the conversion near $130 more or less. please do your own work and be diligent.
User of nat gas are looking at the situation and will use likely UNG as a hedge.
I bought some and maybe you should too. This is not financial advise, as you all understand we post to participate together in addressing capital allocation and solving future needs. In this case hedging against volatility.
