Tuesday’s trading session began with a slight decline in natural gas prices, but the market still appears uncertain about its long-term direction.

The 50-Day Exponential Moving Average below provides support, while the $8.00 level above provides resistance, as we have seen in recent sessions. Ultimately, this chart reveals that we are situated in the heart of a large consolidation area, rendering this a “50-50 proposition.”
If we break below the 200-day exponential moving average, it is expected that the price will drop to $5.50. The $5.50 level marks the beginning of strong support at the bottom of the range, and if the market were to break over $8.00, it might go to the $10.00 level, which is the range’s upper boundary.
