According to NatGasWeather, the major American and European weather models continued to indicate a strong head during the first part of the month, however a cooling trend may be on the way.

 

NatGasWeather forecasts scorching temperatures from July 15-16, followed by a "seasonal or neutral" weather from July 16-19. Traders appear to be concentrating on the period from July 16-19. This might determine the market's fate this week.

 

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is to the downside. A move over $5,325.00 will indicate a return of the downward trend. A move over $6.833 would indicate a transition to an upward trend.

 

The principal price range is $3.528 to $9.645. Currently, the market is trading on the weak side of its retracement zone between $5.865 and $6.587, which represents resistance. The minor range is between $6.833 and $5.25. Its pivot at $6,079 represents added resistance.

 

At $5.385, the market is now sitting slightly over a prior low point. If the selling pressure persists and this level is decisively broken, then a rapid decline to the March 9 major low around $4.610 is likely to commence.

 

Overcoming the long-term Fibonacci level at $5.865 will be the first indication of a bottom on the upswing. A persistent advance over the minor pivot at $6.079 would suggest that short-covering is gaining strength. This may result in a challenge of the long-term 50% level at $6.587.
