crude is sitting at a 30-period high while natural gas sits at a 30-period low

I pulled the global energy prices feed this morning and one split stopped me.

Brent crude printed 109.51, which puts it at the 83rd percentile of its last 30 readings, with a z-score of 2.01. That is the top of the range, not the middle. WTI is doing the same thing at 97.26, z-score 2.18.

Now look at the other side of the same complex. Henry Hub natural gas closed at 2.81, sitting at the 0th percentile of its 30-period window with a z-score of minus 2.24. So crude is stretched to the upside and gas is stretched to the downside at the same time.

That divergence is the part I find useful. When two things in one basket move to opposite extremes, the spread tells you more than either price alone.

I am not posting the full series or which way I think it breaks. You can pull the whole thing yourself, free.
