TWIFO 499: Equities and Nat Gas Soar While Crude Plummets
In this episode of This Week in Futures Options, hosts Mark Longo and guest Dan "the Man" Grams dissect a volatile week where natural gas surged 8.25% while crude oil plunged 7.7%, making the energy complex the biggest mover on both the light and dark sides.

Dan highlights technical patterns such as the "eight new highs" rule and the importance of price‑based rhythm indicators, suggesting the market may be approaching a key resistance around the 7,640‑7,660 level.
