Natural Gas has been trading in a rising channel on the 4H timeframe. Price initially broke below the rising channel, signalling a loss of short-term trend support and triggering a move lower toward the Point of Control (POC) at 2.767. However, instead of accelerating lower, buyers stepped back in aggressively at the value area and drove price sharply higher.

The market has now returned to test the underside of the former channel support, highlighted by the yellow circle. This is a classic technical setup where former support is being retested as potential resistance.

POC at 2.767 Proves Its Importance

The most significant level on the chart remains the 2.767 POC, marked by the black horizontal line.

The volume profile shows this as the area with the highest concentration of traded volume, making it the market's primary value zone. The strong bullish reaction from this level confirms that buyers continue to view this area as fair value.

The rebound from the POC is the reason the current breakdown remains unconfirmed from a broader structural perspective.

Break-and-Retest Zone Now the Key Battleground

The yellow-circled area highlights the current technical setup:

Previous channel support failed.

Price sold off toward the POC.

Buyers regained control from value.

Price rallied back into the broken trendline.

The market is now deciding whether the former channel support will become resistance or whether buyers can reclaim the structure and invalidate the initial breakdown.

Heavy Volume Acceptance Between 2.80 and 2.95

The volume profile shows substantial market participation between 2.80 and 2.95.

This suggests the market remains in a high-acceptance area where both buyers and sellers are active. A sustained move away from this volume shelf would likely require a stronger catalyst such as storage data, weather forecasts, or LNG-related developments.

Momentum

The 14-period RSI is holding near 57, recovering from the earlier selloff.

 Momentum has improved following the rebound from the POC but remains below overbought territory, indicating the market still has room to expand in either direction.
