Natural Gas Takes Off

Ahead of natural gas inventory data at 10:30am ET, the U.S. Natural Gas Fund ETF (UNG) has rocketed from 7.60 above key near-term resistance at 7.78/80 in what looks like a bullish surge out of its week-long consolidation area.

If the inventory data does not reverse this surge (weather-induced strength), then the pattern argues for upside continuation to 8.10/20 next.
