Natural Gas Futures Surge Amid Breakout and Bullish Confirmation
Natural gas futures are experiencing a surge in price, up 4.29% on the day. According to TradingView, this is due to a clear downtrend reversal, with a sharp V-reversal bounce on the 4h chart after reaching a low near $2.65. The last two bars on the 1h chart are impulsive, with expanding volume of 6,751 and 17,696 respectively.
The breakout above the Apr 24 breakdown initiation zone (~$2.75) is seen as strong bullish confirmation, with the price pushing toward $2.80 resistance. The weather/storage narrative is providing fundamental support for a sustained move rather than a one-candle spike.
A trader on TradingView has identified an entry point at $2.793, with a stop-loss below the breakout shelf at $2.751 and a target of $2.9, representing the prior rejection high from Apr 22-23. The risk-reward ratio is approximately 2.5:1.
