UNG trade ideas
$UNG bounce here back to the neckline. 60-70% upside potentialWhile I shared a previous idea of UNG falling all the way to $2 (and while I still think that's possible over the course of this year), I'm never one to pass up a good counter trend trade. Idea here:
I think $UNG is bottoming here. This would setup a counter trend rally back to retest the H&S neckline it broke down from $17-18 range.
There's 60%-70% upside in this trade should it materialize over the coming months. The first thing I'd watch for is a reversal in price action and then you can jump in.
I set an alert for this price level and when my alerts hit, I jump into the trade.
I'm in from $10.36. Let's see how it materializes over the coming weeks/months.
head and sholdersIn my analysis, I have identified that the natural gas market appears to have formed a head and shoulders pattern. This is a technical chart pattern that is often used to predict a reversal in the trend of an asset.
The pattern is formed by three distinct peaks, with the middle peak (the "head") being the highest and the two other peaks (the "shoulders") being lower. The "neckline" of the pattern is determined by connecting the lows of the two shoulders.
In this case, I have identified the head of the pattern to have occurred on August 22nd, 2022, when the price of natural gas reached $34.50. The right shoulder of the pattern occurred on December 28th, 2022, with the price reaching around $17.
Based on this pattern, I am predicting that the price of natural gas will drop to around $4.20. This prediction is based on the idea that the head and shoulders pattern is a bearish reversal pattern, indicating that the price will move in the opposite direction of the previous trend.
It is important to note that this is a prediction and not a guarantee of future performance.
Trade Idea: Buy UNG ETFThose (c) who participated in the previous buy/long idea where rewarded with the ETF reaching the target and a +24.5% ungeared return in just under 5 weeks. The underlying commodity has since declined significantly and, in my view, offers another opportunity to buy off ''near oversold' levels (via the UNG ETF which is available to trade and offers exposure). The UNG ETF is down by over 55% from it's November swing highs and down by close to 70% from it's August highs. It also trades at 2x it's mean over 200 days (not shown) and is extended well below it's 200-day simple moving average. The ETF has also tested and surpassed it's December 2021 swing lows which could be a false breakdown. In addition, the price is testing the prior breakout level. On this basis, the price appears to trading in an oversold range and may offer an attractive reward-to-risk over the medium term. To account for elevated volatility, my recommended stop-loss is slightly wider than usual. Note that the price may trade lower before consolidating and potentially developing a bullish reversal. Upside gaps at $13.95 and $15.29 could act as potential targets.
Natural Gas Dream Chart Pattern LongThis is a Dream chart pattern to be found.
Multiple confluences of patterns and support lines intercepting at the same place.
You can see that there is a huge bottom support line intersecting with a down sloping support line.
On top of this, we have a reversal pin bar on today's chart and the completion of a bear flag.
This is a 80% probability of success pattern. This is a Gold mine finding.
I'm so confident on this pattern that I will be risking 50% of my portfolio.
NOTE: This is not a financial advice. This is my on trading and how much risk tolerance I can take. You should only risk the money you can afford to lose.
Happy trading.
UNG | Its Time to Load | LONGThe fund invests primarily in futures contracts for natural gas that are traded on the NYMEX, ICE Futures Europe and ICE Futures U.S. (together, "ICE Futures") or other U.S. and foreign exchanges. The Benchmark Futures Contract is the futures contract on natural gas as traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange that is the near month contract to expire, except when the near month contract is within two weeks of expiration.
Natural Gas Going Higher?Gas problems will get worse and Europe will unfortunately be the most affected. Europe's dependence on third countries for gas extraction will, in my forecast, lead to an increase in the price of gas. The price of gas will reach about $13-14 before we reach an extreme and change direction. My target for the UNG ETF is $50 in the next 3-4 months.
UNG: Best guess of what is next for natural gas. We did get a bounce up in natural gas after my first post on October 23rd. (see link below if interested). Price rose just enough to close the closest gap. In the hourly chart this was followed by a .78 correction. It may move lower in Monday to closes the small gap below the current price but sometimes starting gaps are not closed right away. If Monday goes up I would think it is likely the next higher gap would get closed.
On the daily chart I used the daily RSI (using the positive reversal) to determine a possible target if the rally continues. When using the RSI remember it is determined by the closing price.
As always: act on your own analysis. But I hope this is helpful. Have a great weekend.
deep accumulation as supply is offloadedthe fed has quietly halted bottom line reductions of the balance sheet, markets should rally leading into the holiday season and then tank once again. Energy commodities are experiencing more supply than usual leading into the winter. This is necessary in the current economic conditions to prevent civil unrest and casualties in colder climates. Speculation that supply is being subsidized.
Bullish for companies that rely on cheap natural gas, bearish for gas price. Deep accumulation for 6 months or so, could shoot up at any time if the supply flow is reduced. Hard to trade. Have calls but looking to exit.
