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 S/D Model: +89 Bcf
- Bentek Flow Model: +83 Bcf
Warmer weather across the US continues to push up power burn and depress residential and commercial demand, leading to a 13-Bcf weaker injection week over week. After last week’s surprisingly big injection, an 83 Bcf injection is right in line with the five-year average and a full 20 Bcf above the same period last year. – Bentek
