Volume Indicator, Gas Starts To Fly (100%+ Mapped)GASBTC is starting to fly and we have really good volume coming in... Let's take a quick look at the volume indicator.
We usually mention volume as a very important signal/indicator when it comes to TA. Any move that happens we always look for volume for confirmation.
Good volume is good for the bulls we always read/say.
Recently the market cycle changed from bearish to bullish, and we are seeing strong bullish action on low volume in some/many cases... This isn't a bearish signal anymore since we are in a bullish cycle, it is more of a "continuation" signal.
So if you see a bottomed out altcoin producing a low volume break above EMA10 and EMA50, instead of seeing this as a bearish signal telling you that prices can quickly reverse because there is no volume support, instead we see it as just the beginning since prices are moving higher and the trading volume is yet to come.
When we looked at GASBTC, we can find a good example of what I just wrote.
There was no big volume when breaking above EMA10 or EMA50 (just the beginning), but prices kept on moving higher and there is big volume now to challenge EMA200 and for GAS to continue going up.
Yes! We continue to look at trading volume for confirmation, but this can be better used now when it is time for a drop. If prices drop on low volume, you can take it as a signal of a retrace that won't go for long. But if prices drop on big/above-average bear/red volume, then you can take it as confirmation that prices will likely continue to drop.
That's the volume indicator based on my experience after years of looking at these charts.
Namaste.

UAE found the Natural Gas suppliesUAE announced a gas discovery in the area between Abu Dhabi and Gabal Ali in Dubai. The gas reservoir called “Jabel Ali Project” will support the UAE economy and ensure sustainable growth. The project covers 5 thousand square kilometers and could generate 80 trillion cubic feet of gas. It’s one of the most significant discoveries of natural gas, which strengthens the UAE’s position among the countries with the most extensive stocks of natural gas in the world. Moreover, the state aims to achieve self-sufficiency with the development strategy prepared for the next fifty years.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi signed a strategic cooperation agreement between Abu Dhabi National Oil company “ADNOC” and “Dubai Supply Authority.”
According to the agreement, ADNOC will invest and harness technology and expertise to develop and produce discovered gas resources. In addition to conducting new surveys and exploration in the region to assess more gas resources. And perform a final study of the cost of its production. Therefore, under the partnership between the two sides, the Dubai Supply Authority will receive produced gas from ADNOC. However, which will contribute to ensuring energy security, support Dubai’s ambitious plans for growth and enhance its position as a global economic center.
Top and Bottom analysis on Natural Gas (NG) by ThinkingAntsOkUse this as a guide to develop your view on the Chart.
Main Items we can see on the 4hs Chart:
a)After the breakout of the Massive corrective structure, we saw the beginning of a new bearish motive wave
b)Our main target for the end of the bearish trend is the Daily Support zone at 1.650
c)The main structure for the down move is a descending channel, is very important to pay attention to it and see if the price keeps respecting it.
d)If you have a short position opened the support zone can be an excellent target
e)If you want to open Long positions, wait for the price to reach the support zone, and give at least one week to see a formation there.
Daily Chart
CHK hits support and will bounce to 0.96 All indicators are lining up and it has obviously hit support. In my opinion, this is a decent long because of indicators and high volume.
Selling spread WTI-GASHi.
Maybe you'll find it useful. What we see is a price movement in last 5 years. In my opinion(hope you see it too) spread between prices is close to extreme readings so i'm looking to sell it. You can convert barrel to BTU and compare prices, but let's keep it simple for now. Strategy is also simple. Sell WTI and buy Gas. Considering my longs on WTI it seems legit. It's true, the winter is "hot", but will it remain like that for long?
Tell me what you think oi comments below
NatGas - bull or bear?The last few candles show a sustained sell-off followed by a brief recovery below the short term trend line (white dotted line).
Will natural gas follow the end of day recovery and go back over $2?
I see 2 scenarios here:
1) The price closes over $2.03 on Monday and tests $2.15 this week
2) The price breaches $1.84 and starts a new descending channel between $1.68 and $2.02
My long term trend line (red dashed line) suggests $1.34 is possible, which boggles my mind, but anything is possible if inventories continue to build and our winters continue to be mild on average.

My goal is to keep tabs on Natural Gas Futures to hopefully find the bottom before a bullish reversal. However, I am not currently playing NatGas as I believe it will stay suppressed until production is shown to have meaningful decreases. Fracking bans, regulations, etc can impact prices but I don't have a crystal ball and will simply follow the market as it happens.
*** Note: I draw my trend lines on a daily line chart as line charts are easier to see then switch to candles since candles illustrate the price action much clearer. A few pennies here and there don't concern me as I am a swing trader.
$GAS, Crossing over ~12.6k resistance level$GAS
Could be following what #NEO is doing as it tries to break from descending trendline and crosses over ~12.6k resistance level...
Looking for a potential R/S flip // or entering with a tight SL are both good setups..
Market is just showing pumps everywhere 🙂

Natural Gas (NATGASUSD) How To Buy With Confirmation?
hey traders,
this is my update for NATGAS.
I know that most of you have noticed that the price is approaching a current market low
and many of you are waiting for a signal to buy.
I suggest you focus on a falling trendline on 4H.
Being broken it will trigger a buying reaction of market participants and most likely we will see a nice impulse upwards.
While it is trading below the trendline just wait!
once it breaks I will buy the market
my targets will be
2.30
2.45
stop will be below the last lower low.
