Natural Gas UNG ETF Oversold / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My near, intermediate, and longer-term work in the U.S. Natural Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG) is so oversold and is screaming for a very powerful recovery rally period that should propel prices to a minimum of 20.00 and more than likely to 25.00 in the upcoming days/weeks. The enclosed chart pattern argues strongly that the most recent downleg from the 1/06 high at 25.98 ended this morning at a new bear market low of 15.48, and that a recovery rally period is in its initial stages.

Awaiting Crude Oil's Test of Support / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The most salient feature of the enclosed daily chart of nearby oil may well be the fact that BOTH the 20 and 50 day moving averages have turned up by virtue of the power of the Feb-Mar upmove from $33.55 to $48.83. Those moving averages are rising through the $41.25 area as we speak. In addition, let's notice that the support line of the Feb-Mar rally cuts across the price axis at $42.50, which is the next key near-term support zone prior to the confluence of the rising moving averages ($41.25).

By: Kyle_L_Lucas

As long time readers Know, I have been pretty bearish on Oil since last Summer. And now, even with the huge decline in prices I am still not bullish, though I respect the possibility of a good suckers' rally before the next wave of price destruction ensues.
