Natural gas closed sharply higher on Thursday renewing the rally off November's low. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Friday. Stochastics and the RSI are diverging but are turning neutral signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. If January extends the rally off November's low, the 75% retracement level of this year's decline crossing at 4.487 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 4.104 would confirm that a short term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 4.471. Second resistance is the 75% retracement level of this year's decline crossing at 4.487. First support is the reaction low crossing at 4.172. Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 4.104.
The March S&P 500 closed lower due to light profit taking on Thursday as it consolidated some of this week's rally. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Friday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. If March extends this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside targets will be hard to project. If March renews the decline off November's high, the reaction low crossing at 1738.70 is the next downside target. First resistance is today's high crossing at 1806.10. Second resistance is unknown. First support is Monday's low crossing at 1755.00. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1738.70.
