Takeaway
The presenter maintains a bearish tactical bias on Natural Gas, looking to short pullbacks into key trendline supports, while reserving counter-trend longs only for confirmed reversal patterns at these levels. Precious metals (Gold and Silver) are expected to face renewed downside pressure based on a retest in the Gold/Silver ratio, while NYMEX Crude Oil remains in an uptrend where the analyst is exclusively looking to buy dips into the 50 EMA.
What the presenter said
- Natural Gas: Pushed down as predicted following a bearish engulfing pattern, yielding >1 ATR for aggressive traders [00:24, 00:48]. The presenter prefers shorting pullbacks as price targets major trendline supports, though valid reversal patterns (engulfing candles or double bottoms) could yield temporary bounces [01:38, 01:50, 02:26]. Price must close above the 50 EMA to flip fully bullish [03:23].
- Gold & Silver: The Gold/Silver ratio broke above its structural support and is retesting it; an inverse bounce here points to further downside across Gold and Silver [05:20, 05:24, 05:42]. Gold remains range-bound with a bearish tilt [06:15, 06:28]. For Silver, the presenter anticipates rejection off the 50 EMA down to support, unless cleared by two consecutive green candles [06:55, 07:02].
- Crude Oil: Price achieved its previous pullback upside target [07:08]. After posting fresh highs, the presenter expects a corrective pullback toward the 50 EMA before resuming the bull trend toward major resistance [08:04, 08:23].
