Natural Gas Technical Analysis For August 22, 2011 Posted: 19 Aug 2011 12:24 PM PDT By CommoditiesMansion.com   The natural gas markets took a breather again on Friday as the traders look at the resistance potential of the former support level turned resistance at $4. The truth is that there is far too much supply of natural gas to support pricing, and the recent breaking of the $4 mark was a significant event. We are looking to see a breakdown of the lows again to short this market, and hold that short until $3 or so.

Natural Gas Technical Analysis For The Week Of August 22, 2011 Posted: 19 Aug 2011 03:13 AM PDT By CommoditiesMansion.com   The natural gas markets remained fairly stagnant during the week as traders are digesting the recent break of the $4 level. That level had held up as massive support previously seems to be holding as resistance. This makes us bearish long term but we are waiting to either short a bounce, or a break to new lows. This gives us a target of $3 based upon the rectangle that we broke through recently. The truth is that there is simply too much natural gas for the … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

Gold Technical Analysis For The Week Of August 22, 2011 Posted: 19 Aug 2011 03:12 AM PDT By CommoditiesMansion.com   The gold markets accelerated the uptrend this past week as traders are becoming more and more nervous about the European debt issues. The market is without a doubt overextended at these levels, and a pullback is more than overdue. We feel that the $1,700 level should act as support, and would welcome a drop to that level. We cannot sell this contract even though we see the pullback coming, as the trend is far too strong to the upside. We are being patient, … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

Oil Technical Analysis For August 22, 2011 Posted: 19 Aug 2011 03:10 AM PDT By CommoditiesMansion.com   Light Sweet Crude The CL contract fell on a quiet tape on Friday, but did manage to form a hammer. This shows that the $80 mark looks to be supportive, but the recent action has been so bearish, there is a good chance that the market may simply be ready to have a relief rally. The rally will more than likely be a chance to sell at a higher price. The market would have to break above the $90 mark for us to change our opinion. Brent The Brent markets had a … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

Gold Technical Analysis For August 22, 2011 Posted: 19 Aug 2011 03:07 AM PDT By CommoditiesMansion.com   The gold markets rose again on Friday as traders piled into the safety trade in reaction to a lack of solutions coming out of Europe. Add to that the seemingly downward trajectory of the US economy, and there are plenty of reasons to buy gold. The markets are decidedly bullish, but are overextended at this point. We are waiting to see a pullback to $1,700 or so to get back into the market from the long side. Shorting isn't possible as the trend is far too … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards
