NGZ11 – December Natural Gas (Last:3.442)

December Natural Gas (NGZ11) price chart with targetsTraders could have caught a nice ride yesterday from an interim low at 3.387, since it fell within 0.003 points of a Hidden Pivot support flagged in the chat room by ‘Pivoteer’ and amplified in my tout. The subsequent bounce would have been worth as much as $500 per contract if you’d exited before the futures relapsed down to a so-far low of 3.325 Wednesday night. That’s a penny beneath my worst-case bottom, but I still expect a major rally from very near these levels, so camouflageurs are advised to remain diligent. I’ll suggest using the 5-minute chart, since the bars are very thin if you go any lower.  If you’d prefer to use UNG, the NatGas ETF, the 7.32 pivot given here yesterday is still the place to look for a tradable turn. ______ UPDATE (11:35 a.m. EST): A ‘camo’ pattern launched at 4:50 a.m. from 3.341 would have triggered a long from 3.386. Half of a four-contract position would have been exited at the ‘p’ midpoint of the pattern, 3.401, and a third contract at 3.430, the ‘D’ target.  The remaining contract, adjusted for theoretical gains thus far of 7.50 cents, has an effective cost basis of 3.311. Let it ride for now with a fixed stop at 3.345.
