August natural gas fell to test the $2.31 smaller than (0.618) target of the wave down from $2.448 as called for. This objective held, but most waves that meet the smaller than target extend to fulfill at least the equal to (1.00) target, in this case, $2.26. Therefore, the outlook for natural gas is bearish and a test of $2.26 is expected tomorrow. Closing below $2.26 will call for the $2.21 and $2.18 intermediate (1.382) and larger than (1.618) targets to be challenged in the coming days.

Because the $2.268 swing low held, the move up from that level might still prove to be a period of consolidation before a larger test of resistance takes place. Should natural gas overcome the 38 percent retracement from $2.448 at $2.35 early tomorrow look for a test of the $2.40 smaller than target of the wave up from $2.268. Overcoming this would call for key near-term resistance at $2.47 to be challenged. Settling above $2.47 would put the near-term odds in favor of testing $2.54 and $2.58.
