WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast - Tuesday, August 22

Natural gas markets initially fell during the day but found enough support at the $2.87 region to turn things around and form a very bullish looking candle, however, the area from $3 to the $3.10 level is massively resistive.

WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil market fell during the day on Monday, reaching as low as the bottom of the Friday bullish candle. Because of this, I think we will continue to see trouble in this market, and rallies looks likely to be sold off going forward. I think that the market will eventually go looking towards the $42.50 level underneath, and I believe that the $50 level above will continue to be massively resistive. That being the case, I think that the overall bearish pressure will continue, and I think that we could go as low as the recent lows, and perhaps even down to the $40 level. All things being equal though, if we managed to break above the $50 level, that would be bullish and probably send this market looking towards the $52.50 level next.

Natural Gas

Natural gas markets initially fell during the day but found enough support at the $2.87 region to turn things around and form a very bullish looking candle. However, the area from $3 to the $3.10 level is massively resistive, and I think will continue to be. Because of this, I’m waiting for and exhaustive candle to start selling. It’s possible we may see a bit of consolidation and the short-term, but I believe that the overall downward pressure will continue in this market. That being the case, I’m looking for selling opportunities only, and I believe that it would be “safe” to start buying this market until we cleared the vinyl $3.10 level. If we turn around a breakdown below the $2.85 level, we should go looking for the $2.75 level after that. I think volatility is here to stay, especially considering that this is one of the least liquid periods during the year.
