NG is trading below its 200-day MA ($8.78) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 84.2, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +46.5% compares to +20.5% for SPY (beat the market by 26.1%). The current 39.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
