Natural gas futures failed at $3.00 again, when does this range break? The EIA reported a natural gas storage build of +92 Bcf this week. Pipeline explosions join heat and storms are in the vernacular now.
From here weather models are key on the longevity of the heating season. The focus will continue to Sabine Pass and Mexico in time. Technically the weekly support $2.522 is the .618 retracement of the move up from $1.611 to $3.994. For Fiboancci fans $3.50 is the .618 retracement of the move down from $3.994 to $2.522. KnovaWave notes the confluence of technicals, fundamental and herd or wave psychology. In natural gas the Marcellus break-even is $2.50 and $3.50 is the Haynesville break-even. Both those levels were also impulse exhaustions.

Bentek Models
- Bentek S/D Model: +101 Bcf
- Bentek Flow Model: +104 Bcf
Although some production growth in the Northeast, Southeast and Rockies gave lift to the week’s build, higher power burn estimates and lower sample activity point toward a lower injection week over week, ower burn grew 1 Bcf/d, and assuming that this sector is responsible for the recent underestimation is what led to a lower injection forecast. ” – Bentek
