Natural Gas (NG_F) 4.20.2020 4 Hour Elliott Wave Update
The 4 hour chart update from 27 April below shows that Natural Gas ended wave Y within blue box area at 1.973 high. From there, the commodity extended lower and made the minimum 3 waves pullback. The decline has already reached the 50% retracement of the previous leg higher. This allows sellers from the blue box a risk free position by moving stop loss to break even level. While below 1.973 high, the bounce in 3,7 or 11 swings is expected to fail. Natural Gas still needs to break below the previous low at 1.519 to confirm that the next leg lower has started and avoid further double correction.

April 30 4 hour update below shows that Natural Gas failed to break below the previous low. The commodity only managed to do 3 waves pullback from the blue box. Afterwards, it continued to bounce higher and broke above the previous high at 1.973. This suggests Natural Gas is doing a double correction and the count was adjusted with the connector wave W at 1.973 high and wave X at 1.586 low. The 100% extension where wave Y can potentially end is at 2.048-2.330 area, marked with another blue box. As long as the 1.618 extension at 2.330 stays intact, the blue box should provide another reaction lower for a minimum 3 waves pullback.
