• Natural Gas remains sidelined after rising the most in a week.
• Bearish MACD signals, steady RSI prod XNG/USD bulls below three-week-old resistance line.
• Previous support line, tops marked in June and March prod Natural Gas buyers from retaking control.

Natural Gas Price (XNG/USD) remains sidelined near $2.60-61 during early hours of Wednesday’s Asian session, following a stellar rebound from the 100-DMA. In doing so, the energy instrument justifies the bearish MACD signals, as well as steady RSI (14) line.

Apart from that, a downward sloping resistance line from June 26, close to $2.63 also challenges the XNG/USD bulls.

Following that, $2.70 and $2.80 round figures may entertain the Natural Gas buyers before directing them to May’s peak of around $2.81.

It’s worth noting that the XNG/USD bulls remain cautious unless witnessing a clear upside break of the seven-week-long previous support line, close to $2.82 by the press time.

Even if the commodity manages to remain firmer past $2.82, the previous monthly high and March’s top, respectively near $2.93 and 3.07 will act as additional upside filters to challenge the buyers.

On the flip side, a three-month-old horizontal support near $2.53-52 restricts short-term downside of the Natural Gas Price ahead of the 100-DMA support of around $2.47.

It should be observed, however, that a daily closing beneath the key DMA won’t hesitate to portray a gradual south-run toward an upward-sloping support line from April, close to $2.23 at the latest
