Natural Gas Price Analysis: XNG/USD bulls attack $2.75 hurdle as full markets return
- Natural Gas picks up bids to defend the previous day’s recovery, mildly bid of late.
- 200-HMA, top line of a fortnight-old symmetrical triangle restricts XNG/USD upside.
- Bullish MACD signals, upbeat RSI keeps Natural Gas buyers hopeful.
- Downside break of $2.66 can recall XNG/USD bears.
Natural Gas (XNG/USD) Price remains on the front foot around $2.75 amid early Wednesday, extending the previous day’s run-up during a sluggish Asian session.
In doing so, the Natural Gas Price jostles with a convergence of the 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) and the top line of a two-week-long symmetrical triangle, close to $2.75 at the latest.
That said, the bullish MACD signals and the upbeat RSI (14) line, not overbought, suggest further upside of the XNG/USD price past the $2.75 hurdle.
In that case, Friday’s peak of near $2.82 may act as an intermediate check for the Natural Gas run-up targeting the previous monthly high of around $2.93.
It’s worth noting that further advances of the Natural Gas price past $2.93 appear elusive as the $3.00 round figure and March’s peak of $3.08 will be tough nuts to crack for the XNG/USD bulls afterward.
Meanwhile, pullback moves remain elusive unless staying within the aforementioned triangle, currently between $2.75 and $2.66.
Also acting as the downside filter for the Natural Gas Price is the horizontal support around $2.60, a break of which will welcome the XNG/USD bears.

Climate change is now a driver of the world’s economy. The impact is profound:
- Catastrophic weather events — hurricanes, floods, droughts, high temperatures — are more frequent and more extreme. The cost can be measured in both the initial damage caused and the longer-term impact on the economy.
- Vulnerable communities are increasing climate-related investments, hardening infrastructure and taking other protective measures.
- Investment in carbon capture and storage technologies is increasingly rapidly.
- Governments are making investments and crafting regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
On top of all of this is the cost of uncertainty. As the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
