Highlights

NG remains in a pronounced downtrend, trading below major moving averages and key resistance near $8.56.
Momentum indicators are bearish, with oversold signals intensifying downside risk and intraday sellers dominating.
The price is expected to fluctuate between $8.15 and $8.90 next week, with a low probability of sustained upside.

Seller dominance as moving averages and Ichimoku cap upside

NG ($) is currently trading at $8.19, sitting below the MA-20 ($8.40), MA-50 ($8.72), and MA-200 ($9.12), which signals that sellers continue to dominate across short, medium, and long-term trends. The Ichimoku Kijun at $8.56 is above the current price and acts as immediate resistance. For near-term support, MA-10 ($8.15) and MA-20 ($8.40) serve as initial levels, while key support is defined by MA-50 ($8.72). Resistance is clustered at the Ichimoku Kijun ($8.56) as immediate resistance, while MA-100 ($9.66) provides key resistance above.

Downside momentum as weak oscillators override modest rebound

Momentum readings stay bearish on D1, with a strong sell from MACD and a neutral-to-weak ADX, indicating a lack of direction but with downside bias. RSI on D1 is at 44.5 and CCI at –48.71, suggesting the asset is drifting toward oversold, while Stoch RSI shows a strong sell, reinforcing negative pressure. BBP is negative and forecast to sell, pointing to sellers controlling intraday momentum. NG has declined $0.38 (4.43%) over the past week, falling from $8.57, and is positioned in the lower part of its weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 8.5%, and the price action reflects a steady decline from the week’s high. In today’s session, the stock is rebounding modestly with a 1.74% gain but remains under pressure amid a weak weekly structure.

Rangebound bias as upside probability lags amid bearish signals

For the upcoming week, NG is expected to trade in a normalized band of $8.15 to $8.90, staying within ±10% of the current price and respecting both support and resistance levels. The calculated probability of price increase is at the minimum threshold, meaning there is a very low probability (less than 20%) of a sustained rise, while the likelihood of further decline is significantly higher based on D1 and W1 signals. The baseline scenario is sideways movement between $8.15 and $8.90. A bullish scenario would require a breakout above $8.56 (Kijun) and a close above $8.90 for renewed upside momentum, while the bearish scenario unfolds with a drop below $8.15, opening the door to further weakness toward key support. The forecast range remains well above the 52-week low of $3.61, but downside remains capped by resistance as the stock stays far below its $14.40 high.
