Natural gas price rebounds above $3.65 as bulls attempt breakout toward $3.78 resistance
Natural gas consolidates near $3.69 after rally; bulls test resistance at $3.74–$3.78

​Natural gas futures have surged in early June, with Henry Hub prices trading near $3.69 as of June 3. The move marks a robust recovery from last week’s lows and follows a 7% weekly gain that helped reclaim the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level at $3.39. 

Key highlights

- Natural gas price trades at $3.69 after a sharp rally, reclaiming the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $3.39.

- Resistance remains firm near $3.74–$3.78, with short-term support at $3.61–$3.65 key for trend continuation.

- Momentum indicators are mixed, with cooling RSI and MACD suggesting reduced near-term bullish strength.

The current rally places natural gas in a critical technical zone as bulls test the $3.74–$3.78 resistance band that previously capped upside attempts in April and May.

Wedge breakout pushes toward key resistance zone

The daily chart reveals a breakout above descending wedge resistance, suggesting a possible reversal of the broader corrective trend that began in mid-April. Although price met resistance at $3.74–$3.78, holding above the $3.61–$3.65 range could allow for another test of this ceiling and potentially a breakout toward $4.02. On the 4-hour chart, natural gas remains above all major EMAs, with the 200 EMA near $3.52 acting as longer-term structural support.

Price consolidation under resistance suggests bulls are pausing to reassess, especially as price trades between the middle and upper Bollinger Bands with the 20 EMA now supporting at $3.58. This level may act as a decision zone ahead of any renewed bullish push.

Momentum fades but structure remains supportive

The 30-minute RSI has cooled to 44.78 from overbought levels, while MACD has slipped into bearish crossover, signaling a potential loss in short-term momentum. However, Stochastic RSI is rebounding from oversold conditions, and Ichimoku Cloud support remains intact, with the baseline at $3.648 likely to guide immediate direction.

Outlook for June 4: If natural gas sustains above $3.65, bulls may retest $3.78, with a breakout targeting $4.02. A drop below $3.58 would shift bias toward $3.44–$3.48 support. Broader structure remains bullish unless price slips below $3.39.

Natural gas was previously consolidating near $3.42–$3.54 with upside capped by a supply zone. The breakout above $3.65 now validates that move, and as long as price stays above the 0.5 Fibonacci level, the bullish scenario remains intact heading into early June.
