On the 31st Oct 2024 trading session, the price dropped, breaking the support level and continuing the rally. On a higher time frame, Natural Gas is currently creating an “M” pattern. 2.6330 level works as neck-like for the pattern breaking which can trigger massive selling.
If we observe the price behaviour, we can see price moves in a pattern, the price falls and creates an accumulation zone, then breaks the zone and continues the rally.
Talking about the entry trigger we have two entry triggers.
- If the price breaks out of the rectangle accumulation zone and settles below the 2.7312 level, it targets 2.6330, with a stop loss set above the previous swing high.
- Safe entry can be made if the price goes and rejects from the resistance trendline. Enter with a stop loss set above the previous swing high, aiming for a target of 2.6330.
