At the time of the previous post, Natty and Chesapeake from May 17, NG was trading around 2.65. Basically the analysis was looking for an imminent pullback and viewing it as a buying opp prior to at least one more move up. " So 2.27 and 2.20 can be seen as excellent opps for entry, especially if the move down is choppy." Not bad, so far. But ....  Daily click to enlarge Note the negative divergence on the Daily RSI.

So 1.618 x 155= 250 SP points, Or 1097 from the overnight highs.
