Such a lull typically precedes an inevitable volatility storm, as the asset has traded within a flat channel for quite a long time.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Key momentum indicators suggest that the current pause has little to do with a potential trend reversal. The technical setup hints at accumulation. The Chaikin Oscillator is confidently rising, piercing through the zero line\u2014a clear signal of capital inflows and renewed buying interest, despite a sideways grind. Meanwhile, the Average True Range (ATR) is trending lower, pointing to shrinking volatility, which often sets the stage for a sharp move.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Average Directional Index (ADX) has just fallen to 18, confirming an absence of a clear trend, with the +DI and -DI lines sitting at 15 and 22, respectively. This suggests a well-balanced market. Add the ATR and Chaikin readings to the mix, and you will get a picture of consolidation with building buying pressure. The declining ADX and ATR, combined with a bullish oscillator signal, predicts a widening range and an upside breakout in the near term.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>On the fundamental front, much speaks in favor of a potential price increase. Escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are now raising doubts about the stability of Qatar\u2019s exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Consequently, this has pushed the geopolitical premium higher. We have already seen an increase in European fuel prices amid lower storage levels. What does this mean for the United States? Higher export demand. This is a tough call, considering heightened domestic consumption due to the heat wave gripping the southern part of the country through mid-July. On the other hand, record production in the Lower 48 and inventories that are 6.4% above the seasonal average are keeping buyers from panicking.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Try out the following trading strategy:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Buy natural gas from current levels, near $3.24. Place Take profit at $3.36. Set Stop loss at $3.16.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This forecast remains relevant between July 8 and July 15, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market analysis by financial analysts and experienced traders.
