What’s Up, What’s Down: Natural Gas Makes a Key Reversal
Comments for Thursday, April 15, 2010
Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Wednesday’s Price Action
ENERGIES:
Higher closes yesterday for the rbob, natural gas along with crude and heating oil. Except for gas all of the energies are still in uptrends with good support from 8400 down to 8000 basis the June contract for crude. Gas made a KEY REVERSAL on April 1st and now has been showing signs of possible bottoming formation. This is with the very bearish fundamentals where there is no storage room available. This is a very good example why it’s hard to trade fundamentals unless you are very well capitalized. BUY SIGNALS FOR CRUDE, HEAT AND THE RBOB. CALL FOR DETAILS!
FINANCIALS:
Unchanged for the Eurodollars while lower for the notes and bonds but no changes technically. The Eurodollar still has its TRIPLE TOP in place but I’m staying neutral until it breaks out of its sideways pattern since late February in either direction. The notes and bonds are in nice looking bottoming formations and should continue higher overall if my signals are good. BUY SIGNALS FOR THE NOTES AND BONDS. CALL FOR DETAILS!
