End of the heating season put pressure on gas prices
US natural gas prices (NATGAS) drops around 4% today and tests $1.70 per MMBTu area, marked with 61.8% retracement of the latest upward impulse. NATGAS also drops below 14-day moving average, which seems to be a key to maintaining the uptrend. A drop below these levels may pave the way for a deeper drop, with 78.6% retracement being the next potential targets for sellers. This would mean dropping to the levels not seen in over a month.
