Natural Gas pullback brings potential buying opportunity

Natural gas has been rare bright spot over the course of this year, with prices continuing to surge on the back of supply constraints. The Russian invasion into Ukraine brought great friction with Europe, ultimately leading many to shift away from Russian imports. The process of shifting supply will take time, and continued issues facing the Nord Stream 1 pipeline point towards difficulties getting gas even if they want it. This issue has reared its head once again recently, with Gazprom planning to lock off flows for ‘maintenance’ between 31 August and 2 September. The natural gas chart below highlights the pricing at Henry Hub in the US. However, with the US increasingly exporting to Europe, supply is similarly tightening to the benefit of prices. The impending winter brings the certainty of higher demand for gas, with some fearing possible restrictions for businesses. With that in mind, there is a good chance we see further upside as we move forward.

The chart below highlights how Natural Gas has managed to push into the crucial $9.655 resistance level this week, with price hitting $10 for the first time since 2008. While we have seen a pullback since, there is a good chance that the bulls come back into play before long.

The four-hour chart shows how price has dropped back into the 76.4% Fibonacci support level, with the selling pressure easing off since. With that in mind, another push up through the $10 mark looks likely as we see to build on this bullish trend.

    • I have recently researched cryptocurrency exchange tokens with good potential that would be a profitable investment for the upcoming bull market. This is what I found so far. 1. Binance's token BNB, BNB is the biggest exchange token and has done well over the years. However, its performance this year has not been great and it currently trades at over $200. 2. OKX's token, OKB, is trading at over $40 and has performed very well in 2023. It may be a good addition to our portfolio for the upcoming bull market. 3. Bitget's token, BGB. The BGB daily chart looks fascinating and it currently trades around $0.40. Based on the exchange's growth in 2023, BGB seems to be the most promising exchange token I have researched. I will continue to research other exchange tokens, but for now, I would like to know your thoughts on these tokens.
    • If you have been into cryptocurrency over the time, you'd have noticed it has faced a lot of ups and downs, from several crackdowns to adoptions, ranging from China's ban, to El Salvador's adoption, including Tesla's adoption and others, and it looks as though in an ever developing world of technology, adoption seems to be the resolution for advancing companies and now we have another adoption, Honda Motor Co. Honda Motor Co., a well-known Japanese automaker, has made a surprising decision to accept digital assets as payment for its goods. By collaborating with the blockchain payment platform FCF Pay, Honda now makes it possible for clients to lease or buy their cars and power equipment using different cryptocurrencies, including XRP and the most popular doge token, Shiba Inu (SHIB). This partnership increases the possibilities accessible to customers who may now purchase Honda's cars, motorbikes, and power equipment using digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Polkadot (DOT), and other well-known cryptocurrencies in addition to XRP and Shiba Inu (SHIB) rather than conventional cash. The unique feature of Honda's offering is that it accepts a variety of more uncommon meme-inspired coins, such as Pepe Coin (PEPE), Floki Inu (FLOKI), Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), and Doge Killer (LEASH). Connecting the dots of various happenings in the crypto space and sudden adoption by various companies and even some economies, where do you see cryptocurrency in the coming years and what steps are you taking in preparation for it?
