Longer Term Trading Plans for UNG

• NONE. Details

There is no current Support Plan to trigger a buy of this stock at this time. This usually means that there are no clear support levels at this time, so buying the stock as it falls could be considered catching a falling knife. Buy signals only exist if resistance breaks higher.

• Short UNG slightly under 11.71, target n/a, stop loss @ 11.74 Details

The technical summary data is suggesting a short of UNG as it gets near 11.71, but the downside target is not available from the current data. This tells us to hold that position if it is triggered until a new downside target has been established (updates occur at the beginning of every trading session) or until the position has been stopped. The summary data tells us to have a stop loss in place at 11.74. 11.71 is the first level of resistance above 6.61, and by rule, any test of resistance is a short signal.
