Natural Gas - COT Futures Break Fibonacci Support!

Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

Finance-focused summary (Natural Gas futures / Henry Hub)

  • The speaker focuses on trading Natural Gas futures at Henry Hub, using:
    • COT (Commitment of Traders) positioning
    • Fibonacci / order-block / price-action (candlestick) levels
  • They describe previously being long, then transitioning into a hedged / near-market-neutral stance around $2.75.

Hedged stance / break-even concept

  • Long entry ~ $2.75 (275)
  • Short hedge ~ $2.75 (275)
  • They explicitly frame this as being “hedged at break even” at 275/275, implying no meaningful directional exposure because the long and short positions offset each other.

Market context (COT, catalysts, and macro backdrop)

COT positioning

  • The managed money bucket in the COT report is still net short.
  • The setup could still enable a short squeeze if a supply shock or demand shock occurs.

Geopolitical catalysts referenced

  • Mentions war-related uncertainty and references such as “Hormuz” and South Pars natural gas fields as potential volatility drivers.

Seasonal / weather backdrop

  • Season/weather is beginning to change in favor, described as supportive.

Key technical levels & patterns mentioned

Support / Fibonacci

  • The core plan is based on Fibonacci 78.6% support (referenced as “786” / “78.6% fib”).
  • They note price closed beneath the 78.6% level on Tuesday, then rebounded from the bottom of an order block.

Bullish reversal evidence

  • On Wednesday, they observed:
    • A tweezer bottom
    • A slightly lower low
    • A piercing-candle concept
  • Interpreted as a two-candle reversal on the daily chart.
  • After that, they describe weak lows (but not weak highs) as potentially bullish.

Gap levels (weekend gaps)

  • Unresolved overhead weekend gap:
    • Top ~ $2.89 (289)
    • Bottom ~ $2.84 (284)
  • A closer gap area (target/inflection):
    • ~ $2.85 area
    • Called a “5-cent gap” that “starts at 285”
  • They also reference the 100-period moving average as a nearby magnet/level, hoping price does not gap up to it.

Round-number / “25-level” trading numbers

  • Reiterates $2.75 as a key psychological/technical level.
  • Also references other major levels: $3.25, $3.50, $3.75.

Explicit trading framework / scenarios (step-by-step)

Core approach (given the hedge)

  • Because they are hedged at $2.75, they intend to:
    • Remove or keep the hedge
    • Trade the direction the market confirms, rather than guessing.

Scenario A: Price gaps up overnight / into the open

  • They may sell natural gas around resistance such as the weekend gap area.
  • Potential path described:
    • Gap toward $2.87–$2.89
    • Then “make our way back down” into the gap/support zone
  • They suggest:
    • Potentially closing short positions for profit on the bounce
    • Adding back to longs only if the market turns

Scenario B: Price stays around the open area

  • If price remains roughly where it opens (around $2.77, with references like “279” / “two 270… 277”):
    • They plan to wait for a couple of candles to confirm how price reacts to the geopolitical factor.

Scenario C: Price gaps down (best case per speaker)

  • They want to:
    • Find a reversal candle at the bottom
    • Then buy
  • They also mention:
    • Taking profit on the short hedge if it moves down far enough
    • Potentially exiting/adding hedge and positioning lower, with examples like:
      • Around $2.70 or $2.69
      • Buying near the bottom of the range / double-bottom area

Methodological caution (behavioral / risk management)

  • Avoid predetermining outcomes like:
    • “Buy the dip” by default
    • Holding for an unrealistic distant target (e.g., “until it gets to $4”)
    • Buying at a precise price regardless of the tape
  • Instead:
    • Wait for market confirmation (next candles / next day / preferably the Monday open for liquidity)
    • Avoid “chasing losses” or forcing the account back into profit on the same instrument (“bullying” it).
