Natural Gas Has the Most “Experts" Because There Are No Experts
Markets with the least predictability always have the most prophets.
If you spend even a few minutes searching Natural Gas trading on social media platforms such as X, you’ll notice something strange: no market has more self-proclaimed experts than Natural Gas. Every day, your feed is filled with confident price predictions, bold arrows on charts, magical trendlines that are constantly redrawn disguised as technical analysis.
The reason is simple:
Natural Gas has the most “experts” because Natural Gas has no experts.
Indicators can work at random giving traders false confidence
Natural gas is the worst possible asset for:
classical chart patterns
textbook TA
trendlines
Fibonacci levels
support/resistance drawings
“consolidation” theories
None of these tools were designed for a mean reverting asset with violent volatility, weather-driven demand shocks, overnight gap risk, constant whipsaws that can reverse a month’s move in one session.
“NatGas breaking the trendline!” (It breaks trendlines every week.)
“Clear resistance here!” (It ignores resistance like it’s a speed bump.)
“Huge support zone!” (It slices through support like it wasn’t even drawn.)
“Bullish engulfing candles!” (It engulfs, then drops 12% the next day.)
What makes these indicator failures particularly devastating is that they work just enough due to the law of randomness to give traders false confidence.
It’s Just a Gambling High
Natgas is inherently unpredictable and trying to predict Natural Gas triggers the same dopamine response as gambling.
These aren’t experts on X, they’re people hooked on the addictive speculation.
