Five Year Seasonal Average

Natural gas futures are under pressure as November loses the $3.00 level and slips below its 50-day moving average. Heavy production, elevated inventories, and weak winter contracts are keeping sellers in control unless storage or weather data deliver a bullish surprise.

Natural gas futures are leaning on hotter forecasts, but the next EIA storage update may decide whether the rebound has staying power. Traders are watching whether heat-driven demand can offset elevated inventories, strong Lower-48 production and any LNG flow disruption risk.
