Natural Gas prices face resistance near $1,85/MMBtu

Prices of Natural Gas are extending the rebound from recent lows in the $1,75 area. Diminishing open interest and volume amidst rising prices, however, are predicted to meet strong hurdle in the $1.825/$1.832 band, where coincide the 100-day and 55-day SMAs.
