Ok, I searched the internet and couldn't find a single source claiming that natural gas consumption doesn't go down going into summer (drop off starting in March). It goes up with high temperatures in the summer (never reaching the winter highs). So if it always goes down considerably next month, why would we expect the price to go up right now?

It’s going up in summer not because of temperatures but because countries are buying it for next winter . They need to fill up what was burned during winter/spring/summer . Then they get there delivery of LNG right before winter .

The price isn’t driven by charts but by politics and seasons.
