Natural gas looks likely to recover despite early pullback

Natural gas weakens in early trade, but we have seen tentative signs that price might have bottomed out after latest selloff.

Natural gas drops at the open, yet resurgence could be in the offing

Natural gas prices have dropped back at the beginning of trade this week, with price failing to maintain the sharp gains seen on Friday.

Expectations of further lockdowns did bring upside for gas, while a report from the US IEA stated that they had seen a 1.7% reduction in production set against a 6.8% rise in demand. Broader energy markets have suffered on the premise that crude demand would fall if the Omicron variant led to further lockdowns.

However, natural gas could benefit from such a scenario, with people instead staying at home to drive up heating demand through winter. The question around winter demand is an important one, with European inventories already well below levels typically seen at this time of the year. Relations between Europe and Russia are important on that front, with the flow of gas from Russia key to keeping a lid on prices.

However, with Russian troops at the border with Ukraine, there is a risk that there is a breakdown in relations between the West and Russia leading to the use of natural gas as a negotiating tool. Thus, with winter demand potentially driving down inventories and Russian exports coming into question, there is a good chance we see another turn higher despite the current pullback.

Pullback could bring buying opportunity

Friday’s rise through the $5.45 swing-high brings an end to the trend of lower highs seen over the course of the past month. With the latest low coming in to place at the key $4.76 support level seen in late-September, this looks like a good place for the price of natural gas to have bottomed out.

As such, a bullish outlook is in play here, with a break below that key $4.76 support zone required to negate that bullish view.

    • While major memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have struggled, Floki ($FLOKI) has quietly gained 7% in recent weeks. Despite a market downturn, this rise highlights the strength behind Floki Inu price, driven by its dedicated community and smart strategies. Bullish Pennant Breakout After a strong rally earlier this year, Floki entered a period of consolidation, forming a bullish pennant pattern. This setup often signals a coming upward move. Now that the pennant has broken, many expect another bullish wave like before. What’s Fueling Floki’s Success? Floki’s community backing and new collaborations in late 2024 are driving its rise. These efforts have helped solidify its position in the memecoin market, giving it resilience in tough times. FLOKI Price Outlook for 2024 Currently, Floki is trading at 63% below its all-time high. But with ongoing developments and market shifts, it could see another surge. Predictions suggest it could hit $0.000500 by year’s end, though risks remain, with a potential low around $0.0000999. Floki’s resilience and strategic growth make it one to watch for investors looking to capitalize on the next big memecoin wave!    
    • Corn Elliott Wave Analysis Corn prices have experienced a notable rebound, rising approximately 14% since the late August 2024 low. This upward movement serves as a corrective phase against the broader decline that began in May 2024. While the short-term outlook suggests further upside potential, the medium-term analysis leans towards a bearish continuation, with prices expected to settle below the $475 mark. Daily Chart Analysis The prevailing bearish trend in corn began in April 2022. However, this decline appears to be corrective rather than impulsive, indicating a more complex wave structure. Unless we witness an impulsive recovery, the current upward movement is likely temporary and should reverse soon. Analyzing the price action from the April 2022 high reveals a double zigzag pattern at the cycle degree. The decline from $475 is identified as an impulse wave, specifically forming wave (A) of Y (circled) within the larger cycle wave y. The ongoing bounce is classified as wave (B) of Y (circled), which ideally needs to cap below $478 to validate the current Elliott Wave count.   H4 Chart Analysis Delving into the H4 chart, the recent upward momentum appears to have completed wave A of (B). Confirmation of wave B's completion will occur if the price breaks above the wave A high. Should this happen, we can expect wave C of (B) to target the 450 level. While this short-term perspective supports a corrective bounce, it is essential to recognize that the broader bearish sequence remains incomplete. This suggests that the long-term downward trend could reassert itself following the top of wave (B). In summary, the Elliott Wave analysis of corn indicates a current corrective bounce that is likely to be short-lived. Traders should be cautious as the overall bearish trend persists, with the possibility of renewed downward movement looming as we approach critical resistance levels. Keeping an eye on wave structures and key price levels will be crucial for anticipating market shifts in the coming weeks.

Further the stock has dropped as an impulse to 142, terminating potential Minor Wave 1 Grey. Wave 2 Grey also could be complete just below 160 mark; if correct Wave 3 Grey is now underway.
