#Gold #SP500 This one is a little complex, thanks to the company pulling a 20:1 share split stunt. When we previously reviewed the share in 2023, we’d what we called a “grim argument” which produced the potential for a bottom of 52p. So, when it closed at 1122p last December 19th, dividing 1122p by 20 gives a closing price of a real 56.1p, giving us loads of comfort the share price had found a bottom above our ultimate bottom at 52p.
This gift provided a warm fuzzy feeling which lasted almost a month, when everything for the company which describes itself as “producing, transporting, and marketing primarily Natural Gas and Natural Gas liquids from existing assets in the USA.” This, while sounding quite grand, is actually a bit of a problem, due to Natural Gas now trading at its lowest level since the start of 2020. This salient detail is being ignored by energy companies keen to protect the artificially inflated prices currently being charged but we suspect the markets are perfectly aware of the damage being inflicted on the bottom line of producers. Currently at 1592 cents, the price of Natural Gas looks perfectly capable of enjoying eventual reversal to a bottom around 680 cents, a potentially remarkable reversal from the high at 10,000 cents in August 2022, when energy prices provoked a headless chicken dance.
Assuming a correlation exists between the paid being experienced by Diversified Energy’s share price and the collapse in Natural Gas prices, we can now speculate on the potential of weakness below 822p now provoking reversal to an eventual new ultimate bottom of 301p – or 15p for those still smarting from the share price adjustment.
If there are to be any miracles, above 1042p currently calculates with the potential of a lift to 1117p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at a hopeful future 1615p. However, we are concerned at the direct correlation between the drop potentials for gas pricing, showing with an almost identical reversal ratio to that being shown for Diversified’s share price.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
