How To Trade Natural Gas: Tools and Approaches

Natural gas trading presents unique opportunities due to its critical role in the global energy market and its inherent volatility. This article delves into the various strategies and tools traders can use to navigate natural gas CFDs, from fundamental and technical analysis to understanding market dynamics.

Overview of the Natural Gas Market

Made up of primarily methane, natural gas is a key fossil fuel that’s grown in use over the past two decades. It forms deep beneath the Earth's surface from the remains of plants and animals buried under layers of sediment and subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. It’s typically found near oil reserves and must be extracted and processed before it can be used.

Natural gas is a relatively clean-burning energy source, at least compared to coal or oil. It plays a crucial role in the global energy sector, accounting for about 23% of energy consumption worldwide in 2023, according to Statista, and 33% of US energy consumption in 2022, according to the EIA.

According to TipRanks, the average target price for META, as forecasted by Wall Street analysts, is $537.41 (a 12.94% increase from current levels) over the next 12 months. However, not all analysts remain positive.

USD/CAD Exchange Rate Approaches Key Resistance

As the USD/CAD chart shows, the Canadian dollar has weakened against the US dollar over the week – today, the USD/CAD rate is near two-week highs.

According to Reuters, this has been influenced by:

→ the strengthening of the USD against other currencies;

→ the anticipation of retail sales data, which could affect the outlook for a potential rate cut by the Bank of Canada. The Retail Sales data will be released today at 15:30 GMT+3.

How might the Canadian dollar's exchange rate change against the “greenback”?

What Is Confluence in Trading, and How Can You Use It?

Confluence in trading involves the strategic alignment of multiple signals to validate trade decisions. This method is supposed to enhance the reliability of trade signals and allows traders to filter out low-probability outcomes. This article delves into the key components of confluence trading, its practical applications, implementation, and common mistakes.

Confluence: Definition in Trading

Confluence in trading refers to the alignment of multiple indicators or analysis tools to get stronger signals for decision-making. By combining various technical indicators, chart patterns, and support and resistance levels, traders can filter out low-probability setups and focus on higher-probability outcomes.

For instance, confluence can involve using a moving average crossover, a support level, and an RSI reading below 30 to identify a potential buying opportunity. This multi-faceted approach helps validate the trade signal and potentially increases the likelihood of favourable outcomes.

How Did MSFT Stock Price React To Global Outage?

On 19th July, a global outage occurred. Numerous computers running Windows worldwide experienced "blue screens of death" (BSOD), affecting companies in different sectors, including airlines, hospitals, media, banks, and others.

The outage was caused by a CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor update, a component of the Windows system that essentially works to protect computers from cyber threats. CrowdStrike quickly acknowledged the issue, stating that it was not a cyberattack but an update error, and suggested a solution.

According to CNBC, the large-scale outage did not significantly impact the operation of most financial markets. Representatives of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq stated on Friday that they were operating despite the issues with the CrowdStrike update. The only noticeable unpleasant consequence for most was the inability to calculate the Russell stock indices, including the popular Russell 2000. However, the confusion was resolved later on Friday.

Analysis of XAU/USD: Gold Price Falls for 4 Consecutive Days

As shown on the XAU/USD chart, Monday, 22 July marked the fourth consecutive day of declining gold prices. The change from the historical peak reached on Wednesday is around -3.5%.

Bearish sentiment is driven by:

→ Market participants' assessment of prospects due to the change of the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the US.

→ Caution in anticipation of economic news. On Thursday at 15:30 GMT+3, US GDP data will be released. On Friday at the same time, the Core PCE Price Index data will be published.

Market participants may also be influenced by the psychological level of $2500.

Tesla Report May Strengthen Bullish Sentiment

President Joe Biden withdrew his bid for a second term in the White House on Sunday. It's reasonable to assume that the stock market responded optimistically to this news, as US stocks closed higher on Monday, with the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) rising by 1.08% to 5,564.41 – its best day since 5th June. CNN Money's Fear and Greed Index showed an improvement in overall market sentiment, moving into the "Greed" zone.

TSLA stocks showed even more positive momentum, gaining 5.15% yesterday.

Recall that on 2nd July we noted that the TSLA price:

→ Was still within a descending channel (shown in red);

→ But was showing strong momentum, having crossed the median of the red channel and forming an ascending channel (shown in blue).

Since then, the TSLA price has:

→ Surpassed the upper boundary of the descending channel, breaking out of the downward trend it had been in since late 2021;

How Can You Trade Using Order Flow? 3 Trading Strategies

Understanding the intricacies of order flow trading unlocks the door to deeper market insights, revealing not just the movements of prices but the forces driving them. In this FXOpen article, we’ll explore how order flow works, its components, and how it can be used within three comprehensive trading strategies.

Understanding Order Flow Trading
Understanding order flow in trading involves examining where buy and sell orders might rest in the market. Essentially, it's about understanding the action behind price movements rather than just the movements themselves. At its core, order flow reveals where traders are placing their orders and at what price, offering a glimpse into the potential future direction of the market based on the current levels of buy and sell orders.

When traders talk about order flow, they're looking at the accumulation of these orders at various price levels, which can indicate areas of strong buying or selling pressure.

How Will the BoC's Decision Affect the Currency Market?

The USD/CAD pair has been strengthening for the third consecutive week and is currently approaching the upper boundary of the three-month range of 1.3850-1.3600. The strength of the pair's buyers is quite significant, which could lead to a consolidation above 1.3850 and a continued rise towards the psychological level of 1.4000. However, the news background for the upcoming trading sessions is so saturated that it could lead to either a strengthening of the current trends or the formation of reversal patterns:

• today at 16:45 (GMT+3) the release of the US Services PMI for July;
• today at 16:45 (GMT+3) the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision;
• today at 17:00 (GMT+3) the Bank of Canada’s press conference;
• today at 17:00 (GMT+3) the release of US New Home Sales data for June.

Experts surveyed by Reuters suggest that the Canadian regulator will not only cut the rate by 0.25% at today’s meeting but may also announce two more rounds of rate cuts by the end of the current year.

Technical analysis of the USD/CAD pair indicates the possibility of further growth, as the “hammer” pattern formed on 11th July remains relevant on the daily timeframe. In the event of a rebound from 1.3850, a corrective decline to 1.3760-1.3730 is possible.

Brent Crude Oil Price Is Declining Amid De-Escalation in the Middle East

On 8th July, we noted that oil prices were forming a large narrowing triangle, originating from 2022-2023, with its upper boundary being a significant resistance point.

As shown on the Brent oil price chart (XBR/USD), bulls have since failed to overcome the upper boundary resistance around $87. Subsequently, the price:

→ turned downwards, breaking the blue upward trend line;

→ eventually breached the support level at $84, which we highlighted on 8th July;

→ Formed a descending channel (indicated in red).

Bearish sentiment is driven by:

→ news of increased oil inventories;

→ reduced tensions in the Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that an agreement with Hamas on hostage release is "maturing."

GOOGL Shares Decline After Report

Yesterday, Alphabet released its Q2 report:

→ Earnings per share: actual = $1.89, forecast = $1.847;

→ Gross revenue: actual = $84.742 billion, forecast = $84.208 billion.

The actual figures exceeded analysts' expectations. However, today in pre-market trading, GOOGL's price fluctuates around $178.60 per share, down from $183.60 at yesterday's close. Investors might be disappointed by YouTube's ad sales growth falling short of expectations ($8.7 billion versus the projected $8.9 billion).

It appears that GOOGL shares will join other tech companies whose stocks are losing ground in the stock market.

On 18th July, analysing NVDA's chart, we noted that the bears had the initiative. On 19th July, we pointed out bearish signs on META's stock charts. And on 22nd July, we highlighted bearish signs on MSFT's price chart.
