Natural Gas Price Analysis: XNG/USD prods resistance-turned-support around $2.66
- Natural Gas Price remains pressured after reversing from 11-week high.
- Bearish MACD signals, RSI’s retreat from overbought territory adds strength to downside bias about XNG/USD.
- Weekly support line, 200-SMA holds the key to further downside of the Natural Gas Price.
Natural Gas Price (XNG/USD) remains on the back foot around $2.68 as bears attack a short-term key support line, previous resistance, heading into Monday’s European session.
In doing so, the XNG/USD also justifies the bearish MACD signals and the RSI (14) line’s retreat from the overbought region.
As a result, the energy instrument is likely to break the immediate support line of around $2.66.
However, a one-month-old horizontal support zone, surrounding $2.57-58, appears a tough nut to crack for the Natural Gas bears to retake control.
Even so, the 200-SMA level of near $2.37 may act as the last defense of the XNG/USD buyers, a break of which could direct the commodity towards the monthly low of around $2.14.
On the flip side, the Natural Gas price recovery needs validation from the $2.80 ahead of challenging the March month swing high of near $3.08.
In a case where the XNG/USD remains firmer past $3.08, the yearly high of around $4.17 and then the $5.0 psychological magnet will be in the spotlight.
Overall, Natural Gas price is likely to witness a pullback but the trend remains bullish unless the quote drops below $2.57.

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Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
