PRISM REASONING
  • Natural gas futures are currently below $3.20 but within a typical volatility move for the remaining May window

  • +Current futures level is within historical monthly volatility range to $3.20.
FACTORS AGAINST
  • Spot and futures currently trade meaningfully below the $3.20 threshold.
  • Bearish fundamentals with high inventories and mild demand outlook.
RESOLUTION PATHS MODELED
Unexpected heat wave or demand shock briefly lifts active‑month above $3.2016%
Pipeline, production, or geopolitical disruption triggers sharp short‑squeeze spike8%
